中文摘要
居住隔离是解释美国不同种族和族裔之间社会经济差距的核心因素之一。居住地直接影响人们获得学校、工作和医疗保健的机会。社会科学各学科中存在一支不断发展的文献，记录了居住隔离的一般模式及其成因与后果。本文回顾了该文献的关键部分。我们概述了隔离的测量方法，以及隔离模式随时间推移、在不同空间尺度上的总体演变。随后，我们回顾了有关隔离的决定因素及其对一系列社会经济结果影响的文献。我们强调，量化隔离的新方法以及分层等用于理解其复杂根源的新框架，有望带来新的见解。（JEL D72, I24, I32, J15, R23, R28）
Abstract
Residential segregation is a central factor in explaining socioeconomic gaps across race and ethnicity in the United States. Place of residence directly impacts access to schools, jobs, and health care. There is an ever-evolving literature across the social sciences disciplines documenting the general patterns in residential segregation as well as the causes and consequences of those patterns. This article reviews key parts of that literature. We provide an overview of the measurement of segregation and the general evolution of segregation patterns over time and at different scales. We then review the literatures on both segregation’s determinants and its impact on a range of socioeconomic outcomes. We highlight the potential for new insights to be gained from new approaches to quantifying segregation and new frameworks such as stratification for understanding its complex roots.
