Neighborhood Change, Gentrification, and the Urbanization of College Graduates
研究了1980至2017年美国大城市中心社区大学毕业生占比从最低升至最高的趋势，探讨交通技术和收入增长对教育分层的影响，并分析其对社区设施、房价和隔离的后果。
We study changing trends in within-city sorting by education over the last 40 years. We show that neighborhoods closest to the centers of large US cities rose from having the lowest levels of college attainment in 1980 to the highest in 2017. We discuss the determinants of changes in sorting patterns, focusing on the role of transportation technology and income growth. We outline various consequences of the recent urbanization of college graduates on neighborhood amenities, house prices, and segregation. We highlight the tendency of college graduates to cluster into select central neighborhoods, likely limiting opportunities for interactions across educational lines.
