本文提供了关于法国本土和移民地理流动模式的实证结果。使用纵向数据，我们测量了一段时间内从一个法国市政当局(公社)到另一个法国市政当局(公社)的流动性，并估计了最初市政当局的种族构成对迁出可能性的影响。这些数据允许我们使用面板技术来修正与基于地理和个人不可观测的选择相关的偏差。我们的发现倾向于质疑法国住宅流动性动态中的“白色逃亡”模式的假设。一些证据确实表明，原住民在搬迁过程中存在种族回避机制。我们还发现，同族人的存在对移民的地理流动性具有强烈的负面和高度强健的影响。
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.
