This article studied the effect of co-ethnics' presence on immigrants' geographic mobility in France and found a strong negative and highly robust effect for co-ethnicity on the probability of moving out.
Abstract:
This article provides empirical results on patterns of native and immigrant geographic mobility in France. Using longitudinal data, we measure mobility from one French municipality (commune) to another over time and estimate the effect of the initial municipality’s ethnic composition on the probability of moving out. These data allow us to use panel techniques to correct for biases related to selection based on geographic and individual unobservables. Our findings tend to discredit the hypothesis of a “white flight” pattern in residential mobility dynamics in France. Some evidence does show ethnic avoidance mechanisms in natives’ relocating. We also find a strong negative and highly robust effect of co-ethnics’ presence on immigrants’ geographic mobility.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used household-level survey data and self-reports about the impairment through air pollution, and combined aggregated census data and objective register-based measures of industrial air pollution by using geographic information systems (GIS).
TL;DR: This article examined how changes in foreign-born populations are associated with home values and native flight in Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky in particular, using spatial autoregregators.
TL;DR: This paper investigated the migration behavior of the native population following foreign (refugee) immigration, with a particular focus on examining whether there is support for an ethnically based migration response.
TL;DR: In this article, micro-level studies using individual and household data have shown that residential location choices are influenced by neighbourhood ethnic composition using three conurbation samples in the Nethe...
TL;DR: LeCount et al. as discussed by the authors examined the role of economic insecurity and education on white racial attitudes and evaluated the extent to which racial color-blindness (as opposed to other racial attitudes) motivated white opposition to race-targeted programs.
TL;DR: Social capital has a definite place in sociological theory as mentioned in this paper, and its role in social control, in family support, and in benefits mediated by extra-familial networks, but excessive extensions of the concept may lead to excessive emphasis on positive consequences of sociability.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that racial segregation is crucial to explaining the emergence of the urban underclass during the 1970s and that a strong interaction between rising rates of poverty and high levels of residential segregation explains where, why and in which groups the underclass arose.
TL;DR: In this article, the cumulative results of a new "neighborhood-effects" literature that examines social processes related to problem behaviors and health-related outcomes are assessed and synthesized.
TL;DR: The authors illustrates the danger of spurious regression from this kind of misspecification, using as an example a wage regression estimated on data for individual workers that includes in the specification aggregate regressors for characteristics of geographical states.

Geographic categorization issues may also be at stake: because this study relies on data at the municipality level, the authors can not dismiss the possibility that some native flight dynamics might be at play at a smaller contextual scale. Their analyses suggest otherwise, however, given that their findings are not sensitive to the definition of residential mobility. Some qualitative studies suggest that subsidized housing agencies practiced ethnoracial profiling of tenants, which may partly explain the increasing pattern of ethnic segregation within public housing ( Tissot 2005 ). Middleclass natives may be able to reject the first housing offer ( partly motivated by a location ’ s ethnic composition ), but immigrant families are more likely to be desperately in need of a place to live, and thus inclined to take the first offer even if it is in the least desirable neighborhood.
