Re-evaluating Tipping and the Dynamics of Segregation Bo Malmberg William Clark 10.17045/sthlmuni.8175458.v1 https://su.figshare.com/articles/preprint/Re-evaluating_Tipping_and_the_Dynamics_of_Segregation/8175458 <b>Abstract:</b> Empirical studies of Schelling models of segregation have focused on tipping point processes whereby once the minority presence in a neighborhood reaches a particular level, the white population leaves. Commonly, white flight has been identified in a number of empirical analyses including a study by Card Mas and Rothstein (2008) who found that there was strong evidence of discontinuities in white mobility flows around specific tipping points. We re-examine the nature of tipping by specifically considering the role of income in the tipping process. We show that income based sorting modifies the tendency to Schelling-like complete segregation and is consistent with observed changes in segregation patterns in Sweden. 2019-05-23 16:35:01 Schelling ethnic preferences income house prices segregation ‘Stockholm Reports in Demography’ Sociologiska institutionen Department of Sociology SUDA Stockholm University Demography Unit Stockholms universitets demografiska avdelning Demography not elsewhere classified Sociology
