  • An Equilibrium Model of Sorting in an Urban Housing Market
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; McMillan, Robert; Rueben, Kim S. (SSRN eLibrary, 2004)
    This paper introduces an equilibrium framework for analyzing residential sorting, designed to take advantage of newly available restricted-access Census microdata. The framework adds an equilibrium concept to the discrete ...
  • Racial Sorting and Neighborhood Quality
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; McMillan, Robert (SSRN eLibrary, 2005)
    In cities throughout the United States, blacks tend to live in significantly poorer and lower-amenity neighborhoods than whites. An obvious first-order explanation for this is that an individual's race is strongly correlated ...
  • Residential Segregation in General Equilibrium
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; McMillan, Robert; Rueben, Kim S. (SSRN eLibrary, 2004)
    This paper studies the causes and consequences of racial segregation using a new general equilibrium model that treats neighborhood compositions as endogenous. The model is estimated using unusually detailed restricted ...
  • Separate When Equal? Racial Inequality and Residential Segregation
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; Fang, Hanming; McMillan, Robert (SSRN eLibrary, 2005)
    Standard intuition suggests that residential segregation in the United States will decline when racial inequality narrows. In this paper, we hypothesize that the opposite will occur. We note that middle-class black ...
  • Tiebout Sorting, Social Multipliers and the Demand for School Quality
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; Ferreira, Fernando V.; McMillan, Robert (SSRN eLibrary, 2004)
    In many theoretical public finance models, school quality plays a central role as a determinant of household location choices and in turn, of neighborhood stratification. In contrast, the recent empirical literature has ...
  • A Unified Framework for Measuring Preferences for Schools and Neighborhoods
    Bayer, Dr Patrick; Ferreira, Fernando V.; McMillan, Robert (SSRN eLibrary, 2007)
    This paper develops a comprehensive framework for estimating household preferences for school and neighborhood attributes in the presence of sorting. It embeds a boundary discontinuity design in a heterogeneous model of ...
