我们量化了低收入非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲人在14-17岁期间的青少年就业结果与他们的社区条件之间的关系。数据来自丹佛住房管理局（DHA）的家庭谁住在公共住房分散在丹佛县的调查。由于DHA家庭分配模仿随机分配到社区，这个计划是一个自然的实验，克服地理选择偏见。我们的logistic和Tobit回归分析发现，总体而言，那些居住在1940年前老式住房比例较高的社区的青少年就业机会更大，工作时间更长，财产犯罪率和虐待儿童率，尽管关系的强度在很大程度上取决于性别和种族。非裔美国人的青少年就业前景尤其减少居住在社会上更脆弱，暴力的社区，这意味着选择性的潜在收益从社会混合的替代品。
We quantify how teen employment outcomes for low-income African Americans and Latinos relate to their neighborhood conditions during ages 14–17. Data come from surveys of Denver Housing Authority (DHA) households who have lived in public housing scattered throughout Denver County. Because DHA household allocation mimics random assignment to neighborhood, this program represents a natural experiment for overcoming geographic selection bias. Our logistic and Tobit regression analyses found overall greater odds of teen employment and more hours worked for those who lived in neighborhoods with higher percentages of pre-1940 vintage housing, property crime rates and child abuse rates, though the strength of relationships was highly contingent on gender and ethnicity. Teen employment prospects of African Americans were especially diminished by residence in more socially vulnerable, violent neighborhoods, implying selective potential gains from social mixing alternatives.
