Query: Discrimination Against Immigrants in the Criminal Justice System:
  Evidence from Pretrial Detentions   This paper tests for discrimination against immigrant defendants in the
criminal justice system in Chile using a decade of nationwide administrative
records on pretrial detentions. Observational benchmark regressions show that
immigrant defendants are 8.6 percentage points less likely to be released
pretrial relative to Chilean defendants with similar proxies for pretrial
misconduct potential. Diagnostics for omitted variable bias -- including a
novel test to assess the quality of the proxy vector based on comparisons of
pretrial misconduct rates among released defendants -- suggest that the
discrimination estimates are not driven by omitted variable bias and that, if
anything, failing to fully account for differences in misconduct potential
leads to an underestimation of discrimination. Our estimates suggest that
discrimination stems from an informational problem because judges do not
observe criminal records in origin countries, with stereotypes and taste-based
discrimination playing a role in the problem's resolution. We find that
discrimination is especially large for drug offenses and that discrimination
increased after a recent immigration wave.
