We conduct a large‐scale field experiment to investigate howChinese firms respond to job applications from ethnic minority and Hanapplicants for jobs posted on a large Chinese Internet job board. We denoteethnicity by means of names that are typically Han Chinese and distinctivelyMongolian, Tibetan, and Uighur. We find significant differences in the callbackrates by ethnicity and that these differences vary systematically across ethnicgroups. Not all firms discriminate – approximately half treat all candidatesequally. State-owned firms are significantly less likely than privately‐owned firms to discriminate against minoritiesby calling only candidates with Han names and much more likely to treatcandidates equally.
