| Title: | | Discrimination in grading? Experimental evidence from primary school  |
| Authors: | | Sprietsma, Maresa |

| Abstract: | | This paper studies the effect of teacher expectations on essay grades in an experimental setting. To this purpose, we randomly assign Turkish or German first names to a set of essays so that some teachers believe a given essay was written by a German native pupil, whereas others believe it was written by a pupil of Turkish origin. We find that essays obtain significantly lower grades and lower secondary school recommendations when bearing a Turkish sounding name. |
