Abstract
We study the influence of culture on discrimination as an economic outcome. Using a correspondence study, we show that both Flemish and Walloon employers discriminate against Walloon job seekers. Then, we argue that culture is an explanatory variable for this discrimination. We also discuss about the potential utility of using the theory of discrimination as defined and applied in psychology to bring a deeper understanding of the types of discrimination that are studied in economics.
