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: Wacquant et al. as mentioned in this paper show that the involution of America's urban core after the 1960s is due not to the emergence of an "underclass", but to the joint withdrawal of market and state fostered by public policies of racial separation and urban abandonment.
TL;DR: The authors investigated discrimination and the interplay of residential and ethnic stigma on the French housing market using two different methods, paired-testing au-dit study of real estate agencies and face-to-face interviews with real estate agents.
TL;DR: Results reveal that the share of minorities within a census cell indeed positively correlates with the exposure to industrial pollution, and highlights the importance of spatial clustering processes in environmental inequality research.
TL;DR: In this paper, a household maximization problem is used to determine the market rent-distance function that gives no household an incentive to move, which implies that if whites prefer segregation and some blacks prefer integration, no stable locational equilibrium exists for both races without discrimination.
TL;DR: The International Symposium of Linked Employer-Employee Data (ILSED) as mentioned in this paper was held in 1998 to address the creation and analysis of such matched data in an environment that safeguards respondent confidentiality, and looked at the analysis of linked data, related econometric issues, and creating large-scale linked data.
TL;DR: An econometric model of 1970-80 residential turnover rates for white households is estimated for census tracts in Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, Ohio as discussed by the authors, and the maximum rate of racially motivated turnover by whites occurred in tracts that were at least 55 per cent black in 1970, regardless of whites' segregationist sentiments.

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.
