A type of study used in economics, sociology, political science, and psychology, an audit study is one in which trained employees of the researcher ("auditors") are matched on all characteristics except the one being tested for discrimination.[1] These auditors then apply for a service, be it a job, financial advice regarding their stock portfolio,[2] housing,[3] or a credit card, to test for discrimination.[4]
