移民对邻里关系有什么影响？在大都市地区，我们发现，在移民定居点的社区，住房价值增长相对较慢。我们提出了三个非排他性的解释：住房质量的变化，反向因果关系，或假设，当地人发现移民邻居相对不那么有吸引力（本地航班）。为了测量新移民的实际数量，我们部署了一个地理扩散模型，该模型使用周围社区外国出生者的滞后密度来预测社区的新移民数量。受我们的工具的有效性，证据是一致的因果解释的影响，从不断增长的移民密度本地航班和相对较慢的房价升值。进一步的证据表明，这些结果可能更多地受到基于种族和教育的居住隔离需求的驱动，而不是外国人本身。
What impact does immigration have on neighborhood dynamics? Within metropolitan areas, we find that housing values have grown relatively more slowly in neighborhoods of immigrant settlement. We propose three nonexclusive explanations: changes in housing quality, reverse causality, or the hypothesis that natives find immigrant neighbors relatively less attractive (native flight). To instrument for the actual number of new immigrants, we deploy a geographic diffusion model that predicts the number of new immigrants in a neighborhood using lagged densities of the foreign-born in surrounding neighborhoods. Subject to the validity of our instruments, the evidence is consistent with a causal interpretation of an impact from growing immigration density to native flight and relatively slower housing price appreciation. Further evidence indicates that these results may be driven more by the demand for residential segregation based on race and education than by foreignness per se.
