Conceptual and Methodological Note on "urban discrimination". The conceptual part is focused on the definition of the term "urban discrimination" (discrimination against slum dwellers) and the development of an economic model representing the theoretical approach. The methodological part describes how to implement an impact evaluation to measure discrimination using the methodology of "audit contracts", and to measure how slum upgrading interventions affect "urban discrimination".
