We build a two-sector matching model with ethnic sector-specific preferences, economy-wide employer discrimination, and customer discrimination in jobs in contact with customers. The outcomes of the model allow us to build a test of ethnic discrimination in general and customer discrimination in particular. We run the test on French individual data in a cross-section of local labor markets (Employment Areas). Our results show that there is both ethnic and customer discrimination in the French labor market. %G English %2 https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-03568534/document %2 https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-03568534/file/customer-discrimination.pdf %L hal-03568534 %U https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-03568534 %~ SHS %~ SCIENCESPO %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EHESS %~ GREQAM %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ AO-ECONOMIE %~ AMSE %~ ECON-SCPO %~ SCPO_OA %~ SCPO-REPEC
