Abstract

In this work we test the hypothesis that the Colombian system of socio-economic stratification, ranking dwellings from one to six to compute the utility bills tariff, may cause segregation. A careful reading of the literature shows that this may occur if the strata are associated with discrimination. A field experiment with around 1000 participants from Bogotá (older than 25 and not belonging to student population) is carried out. The design includes a combination of a trust game and a dictator game. Results exclude the presence of pure preferences for discrimination and statistical discrimination, but confirm that low strata are associated to stereotypes of low trustworthiness.
