  text: "Regulations to prevent ethnic discrimination in accessing the labor\r\nmarket
    are implemented most thoroughly in the public sector. However, it remains\r\nto
    be assessed if these regulations are internalized. We conducted a field\r\nexperiment
    to examine ethnic discrimination when applying for internships in\r\nGerman municipalities
    by unsolicited inquiries. We compared responses in\r\nGerman cities to Turkish,
    Italian, and German applicants in two periods, and find\r\nconsistent disadvantages
    for the Turkish and Italian applicants as well as\r\ndifferences related to gender.
    Thus, the likelihood for ethnic discrimination rises\r\nwhen applying for positions
    in public institutions that are not subject to\r\nregulations."
