本文考察了个体的居住选择与总体隔离模式之间的关系。基于计算模型的分析表明，只有当个人的偏好遵循阈值函数时，才会出现高水平的隔离。如果个人在种族构成不同的社区之间做出了更细微的区分，那么偏好本身并不会导致种族隔离。Vignette的数据表明，个人会以持续的方式对社区种族构成的变化做出反应，而不是对某个门槛做出反应。种族偏好本身可能不足以解释美国城市中观察到的高度种族隔离。
This article examines the relationships between the residential choices of individuals and aggregate segregation patterns. Analyses based on computational models show that high levels of segregation occur only when individuals’ preferences follow a threshold function. If individuals make finer‐grained distinctions among neighborhoods that vary in racial composition, preferences alone do not lead to segregation. Vignette data indicate that individuals respond in a continuous way to variations in the racial makeup of neighborhoods rather than to a threshold. Race preferences alone may be insufficient to account for the high levels of segregation observed in American cities.
