Economics Research Seminarhttps://weatherhead.case.edu/events/2019/11/15/economics-research-seminarWhy do high-income black households live in neighborhoods with characteristics similar to those of low-income white households? We ?nd that neighborhood sorting by income and race cannot be explained by ?nancial constraints: High-income, high-wealth black households live in similar-quality neighborhoods as low-income, low-wealth white households. We provide evidence that black households sort across neighborhoods according to some non-pecuniary factor(s) correlated with the racial composition of neighborhoods. Black households sorting into black neighborhoods can explain the racial gap in neighborhood quality at all income levels. The supply of high-quality black neighborhoods drives the neighborhood quality of black households.
Please join the Economics Department for a research seminar. This event is open to all Case Western Reserve University faculty, Ph.D. students, economic majors and minors, and those interested in economics research.
