Study 1, During a mystery shopping field experiment conducted over four months, 12 Black and 12 white individuals visited 52 branches across 14 different parent banks. They were each given financial profiles and instructed to seek financing for their business. The profiles of the Black testers were objectively superior (higher credit score, longer time in business, higher business income) to the white profiles. The study documented which products and services bank employees recommended to the business owner. ; Study 2, With 160 test calls to 40 bank branches, this study evaluated bank employees’ behaviors based on both the caller’s race (Black vs. white) and socioeconomic status (SES). Again, Black participants were given more favorable financial profiles. The study used the test callers’ voices, names and linguistics (grammar and accent) to demonstrate SES and race to bank employees. Test callers documented the call and measured key indicators like bank employees’ warmth toward them and the competence demonstrated in informing them of financing products and the bank’s overall services. ; Study 3, This study used a survey to collect data from businesses employing fewer than 500 people in metropolitan areas nationwide. There were 153 respondents who were Black and 113 who were white. Respondents reported whether they were denied or approved for loans like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury and Disaster Loans (EIDL), ; Study 4, This study examined business loans for underserved markets from the financial service provider’s perspective. Testers asked 588 financing pros to evaluate loan applications, then make a loan recommendation and rate the applicant’s trustworthiness, likelihood of default and risk. The study evaluated how race (Black vs. white) and business structure (sole proprietorship vs. S-corp) impacted the participant’s recommendations. Black applicants were given a 10 percent stronger financial profile.
