The role of neighborhood characteristics in explaining political party residential segregation
High levels of neighborhood political residential segregation have recently been documented for the U.S. This has raised concerns, based on the argument that more politically homogeneous neighborhoods promote extremism and ideological intensity, resulting in this same extremism displayed by elected politicians. Using tens of thousands of single-family home sales from South Florida, our purpose is to examine the extent to which neighborhood observ…
Political and racial neighborhood sorting: How is it changing
Are the home values and property tax burdens of permanent homeowners affected by growth in housing rentals and second homes: Evidence based on big data from Florida
Homeowners who make their homes their primary residence have resisted the entry of rentals into their neighborhoods and cities. Possible reasons underlying this resistance are that rentals reduce the property values, increase the property tax burdens, and raise the price of public services for these homeowners. We relate the market values of single‐family homes occupied by permanent homeowners, the effective property tax rate of these homeowners,…

Neighborhood Drug Crime and Young Males' Job Accessibility
There has been renewed interest in the possible use of employment programs for disadvantaged male youth as a policy to reduce drug crime, but little evidence exists on the youth employment/drug crime relationship and theory suggests that these programs may increase rather than decrease the amount of drug crime. In this paper, panel data at the neighborhood level are used to investigate the relationship between drug crime and young males' intraurb…

Exclusionary Land-use Regulations within Suburban Communities: A Review of the Evidence and Policy Prescriptions
This paper reviews the literature related to five questions that we would like to have answered about local land-use regulations that exclude lower-income households from suburban communities. Also reviewed are the policy options for dealing with this exclusion
Whites' neighbourhood racial preferences and neighbourhood racial composition in the United States: Evidence from the multi‐city study of urban inequality
Within the housing segregation literature major disagreements have developed over two fundamental issues: (1) the role that whites' aversion to racially mixed neighbourhoods plays in causing modern segregation in the US; and (2) the factors that underlie this aversion, including the effects of inter‐racial contact on whites' neighbourhood racial preferences and whether these preferences reflect neighbourhood stereotyping as opposed to pure racial…

Black Self-Segregation as a Cause of Housing Segregation: Evidence from the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality
The Neighbourhood Contact Hypothesis: Evidence from the Multicity Study of Urban Inequality
The paper provides evidence on the neighbourhood contact hypothesis, which states that interracial neighbourhood contact acts to break down prejudice. Contact, therefore, may result in stable racially integrated neighbourhoods. By exploiting unique features of new data from the Multicity Study of Urban Inequality, our estimates are the first to account directly for the endogeneity of contact. Results indicate that neighbourhood contact affects Wh…

Within cities and suburbs: Racial residential concentration and the spatial distribution of employment opportunities across sub‐metropolitan areas
This article examines and compares the spatial distributions of new jobs and people across sub-metropolitan areas for Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles. The jobs data come from the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality and the data on people come from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The results indicate that less-educated people, public assistance recipients, and especially poor females with children mostly reside in areas heavily populated…

Customer Discrimination and Employment Outcomes for Minority Workers
This paper investigates the effects of customer discrimination on the employment and earnings of minorities, particularly blacks. Data are used from a new survey of employers in four large metropolitan areas in the United States. Our results show that the racial composition of an establishment's customers has sizable effects on the race of who gets hired, particularly in jobs that involve direct contact with customers and in sales or service occu…
The spatial mismatch hypothesis: A review of recent studies and their implications for welfare reform
In 1992, Housing Policy Debate published John Kain's comprehensive review of the extensive scholarly literature on the spatial mismatch hypothesis. This hypothesis maintains that the suburbanization of jobs and involuntary housing market segregation have acted together to create a surplus of workers relative to the number of available jobs in submetropolitan areas where blacks are concentrated. Since Kain's review, more than two dozen new studies…

The Effect of Job Access on Black and White Youth Employment: A Cross-sectional Analysis
This paper examines the effect of access to employment opportunities on the employment probabilities of black and white youth aged 16-19 years. The empirical results, based on data from the central cities of 43 SMSAs, suggest that the nearness of jobs is an important determinant of teenager employment probability

Price discrimination in the housing market
Spatial Variation in Office Rents within the Atlanta Region
Hedonic office rent models are estimated using data for Atlanta that span the years 1990-96. Controlling for typical building characteristics and lease terms, we find that variables measuring locational differences in wage rates, transport rates and proximity to concentrations of support services and office workers play an important role in explaining spatial variation in office rents. No evidence is found in support of the hypothesis that techno…

Job Accessibility and the Employment and School Enrollment of Teenagers
Ihlanfeldt presents data that strongly support the "spatial mismatch hypothesis" for the high unemployment rate of disadvantaged teens. This theory, which the author thoroughly outlines in this work, asserts that the suburbanization of low-skill jobs and continued housing market segregation have reduced the job opportunities of inner-city dwelling minorities. This book extends Ihlanfeldt's earlier work on spatial mismatch by incorporating school …
