The Economic Aftermath of the 1960s Riots in American Cities: Evidence from Property Values
利用1950-1980年人口普查数据，研究1960年代美国城市种族骚乱对市中心住宅房产价值的影响，发现骚乱导致黑人房产价值在1960-1970年间显著下降且后续未反弹。
In the 1960s many American cities experienced violent, race-related civil disturbances. This article examines census data from 1950 to 1980 to measure the riots' impact on the value of central-city residential property, and especially on black-owned property. Both OLS and IV estimates indicate that the riots depressed the median value of black-owned property between 1960 and 1970, with little or no rebound in the 1970s. Census tract data for a small number of cities suggest relative losses of population and property value in tracts that were directly affected by riots compared to other tracts in the same cities.
