Housing studies find evidence of declines in discrimination over the past 25-35 years both internationally and in the United States.
“Patterns are different: housing studies find evidence of declines in discrimination over the past 25-35 years both internationally (Auspurg et al. 2019, Flage 2018) and in the United States (Quillian et al. 2020a), while studies of employment discrimination find little evidence of change over time (see point 4).”
From Comparative Perspectives on Racial Discrimination in Hiring: The Rise of Field Experiments (2021) · cites this paper as Flage 2018
Flage is cited for the international part of the sentence, not the separate U.S. claim. The Method and data section describes studies from 2006–2017 across 14 countries, and the results report discrimination levels, but the passages found do not assess whether discrimination declined over 25–35 years. I searched for temporal trends and declines in the paper’s copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
