School Desegregation, School Choice, and Changes in Residential Location Patterns by Race
研究美国大城市公立学校废除种族隔离后，白人学生转学至郊区或私立学校的反应，以及黑人学生入学变化，发现迁移是主要应对方式，且隔离政策对城市人口分散化影响有限。
This paper examines the residential location and school choice responses to the desegregation of large urban public school districts. We decompose the well documented decline in white public enrollment following desegregation into migration to suburban districts and increased private school enrollment and find that migration was the more prevalent response. Desegregation caused black public enrollment to increase significantly outside of the South, mostly by slowing decentralization of black households to the suburbs, and large black private school enrollment declines in southern districts. Central district school desegregation generated only a small portion of overall urban population decentralization between 1960 and 1990.
