David Neumark, economist and University of California, Irvine Distinguished Professor
who has investigated the use of correspondence and audit studies to test for discrimination
in the labor market said in an email that both types have their uses: “Correspondence
studies allow much larger samples. Audit studies are far harder to do, and get smaller
samples. But they do allow collection of more information — importantly including
whether the final transaction (getting an apartment, a job, etc.) actually happens.”
