摘要

租房市场上对外国人的歧视主要在美国和欧洲国家得到承认。在日本，只有媒体或政府的问卷调查报道了外国人搬进租赁住房所经历的困难，而且几乎没有定量证据。我们进行了一项函授研究，观察2019年12月至2020年2月期间，东京23个区出租房市场对外国人的歧视。我们的研究结果表明，与使用日语姓名的人相比，使用中文或韩语姓名的人收到租房申请肯定回复的概率降低了约13%。此外，我们发现新冠肺炎危机增加了出租房业主和房地产经纪人的歧视行为。

A field experiment on discrimination against foreigners in the rental housing market in Japan examining the 23 wards of Tokyo

Discrimination against foreigners in rental housing markets has been recognized mainly in the U.S. and European countries. In Japan, the difficulties experienced by foreigners who move into rental housing have been reported only by media or government questionnaire surveys, and there is little quantitative evidence. We conduct a correspondence study to observe discrimination against foreigners in rental housing markets in Tokyo's 23 wards during December 2019 and February 2020. Our results show that those who use a Chinese or Korean name decrease their probability of receiving affirmative responses to rental applications by approximately 13% compared with those who use Japanese names. Additionally, we find that the COVID-19 crisis increased the discriminatory behavior of rental housing owners and realtors.
