Raymond J. Fisman Columbia University Business School; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Sheena Sethi-Iyengar Columbia Business School - Management Division Emir Kamenica University of Chicago - Booth School of Business - Economics Itamar Simonson Stanford Graduate School of Business October 2004 Stanford GSB Research Paper No. 1871 Abstract: We examine racial preferences in dating using data that allow for the direct observation of decisions of randomly paired individuals in a Speed Dating experiment. Females exhibit stronger racial preferences than males. Furthermore, we observe stronger same race preferences for blacks and Asians than for Hispanics and whites. Accounting for self-reported shared interests considerably reduces the observed effect of racial preferences.
