The End of Court-Ordered Desegregation
研究了1990年代初美国最高法院裁决后，大量法院强制废除种族隔离计划的终止对学校种族隔离程度的影响，发现终止导致种族隔离适度增加，并对不同地区黑人和白人学生的入学模式产生不同影响。
In response to three Supreme Court rulings in the early 1990s, numerous court-ordered desegregation plans have been terminated. Using a unique dataset and an event study research design, this paper explores the impact of these terminations. The results suggest that termination produces a moderate increase in racial segregation. Outside of the south, dismissal also increases the rate at which black students drop out of school and attend private school. In the south, in contrast, there is no change in the school attendance patterns of blacks. Finally, evidence is presented that whites re-enter dismissed districts in large numbers in the south.
