| Abstract: | This aticle discusses a model in which black workers are discriminated against and the job arrival rates of all workers depend on social networks as well as distance to jobs. The authors argue that location choises are mainly driven by racial preferences. The results suggest that in cities where black workers reside away from jobs, the optimal policy is to impose higher quotas or employment subsidies than in cities where they live close to jobs. |
