| Summary: | Discrimination at the schooling level has mainly been examined in terms of gender discrimination or discrimination against certain ethnical groups, while age discrimination mainly has been researched in the area of the labor market. In this paper, I examine the possible existence of age discrimination at Swedish Universities with the help of a difference-in-difference method by comparing standard exams graded both anonymously and non-anonymously. The results found were in line with previous studies regarding the fact that anonymously graded exams overall reduced the grades. Regarding the age discrimination the results indicate that there is discrimination among students aged 27-30, although to a very small extent.
