MWITA-PPO-2026-007 · Evidence A · P1
Employment information and anti-discrimination messages changed racial and gender gaps in letting-agent response rates by as much as 22% and 56%, respectively, but effects differed sharply across applicant groups.
What this does not establish
Agent reply is not a viewing, lease or long-run mobility outcome, and London results do not automatically transfer to landlord-direct or other national markets.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The anti-discrimination message helped Polish and Nigerian applicants but substantially harmed Chinese applicants, while employment information widened the gender gap.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial or human outcomes.
