Race, Residence, Discrimination, and Economic Opportunity: Modeling the Nexus of Urban Racial Phenomena.

Galster, George C.; Keeney, W. Mark

Urban Affairs Quarterly, v24 n1 p87-117 Sep 1988

A cross-sectional simultaneous equation model is specified whereby metropolitan-wide levels of racial residential segregation, housing discrimination, interracial occupational dissimilarities, and Black/White mean incomes are endogenous. Results support the hypothesis of mutually causal interrelationships among these phenomena. Results of policy simulations are presented. (Author/BJV)
