  abstract     = {{Regulations to prevent ethnic discrimination in accessing the labor
market are implemented most thoroughly in the public sector. However, it remains
to be assessed if these regulations are internalized. We conducted a field
experiment to examine ethnic discrimination when applying for internships in
German municipalities by unsolicited inquiries. We compared responses in
German cities to Turkish, Italian, and German applicants in two periods, and find
consistent disadvantages for the Turkish and Italian applicants as well as
differences related to gender. Thus, the likelihood for ethnic discrimination rises
when applying for positions in public institutions that are not subject to
regulations.}},
