Fisman, Raymond., Iyengar, Sheena S. (2008). Racial Preferences in Dating. The Review of Economic Studies Limited
This article examines if there are racial preference in dating. Employed through a speed dating experiment, this study directly observed the individuals’ preferences rather than survey responses. The backgrounds of the observed individual were taken into consideration, including their racial composition of their ZIP code, as well as the current attitudes in a subject’s state or country. It was concluded that same-race preferences are negatively correlated with education. However, it was observed that females exhibit stronger racial preferences than the males, while older subjects and more physically attractive subjects exhibited fewer amounts of same-race preferences.
