Over a half century after the Fair Housing Act was passed, scholars continue to document discrimination in the housing market. This session will explore cutting edge research on the ways households make structurally-selected decisions in the housing market and how bias against disadvantaged groups shapes disparate outcomes. Beyond straightforward analysis of racial disparities, we will discuss heterogeneity in bias manifestation as well as heretofore understudied sources of discrimination.
