Jud, G. Donald; Watts, James M. – Economics of Education Review, 1981
A model is constructed to test the comparative effects of public schools' racial composition and academic quality on neighborhood housing prices. Empirical results suggest that a school's academic quality (measured by reading levels) is a stronger determinant of local housing costs than its racial composition. (Author/RW)

Data for 318 metropolitan areas confirm the Burgess model's positive relationship between social status and residential distance from the urban core. Over time, all categories of metropolitan areas moved in the predicted direction of status distribution, with stronger associations for older, larger, and more industrial cities. Contains 53…

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…
