我们提供了城市消费中种族和种族隔离的衡量标准。使用Yelp评论，我们估计了空间和社会摩擦如何影响纽约市内的餐馆访问量。交通时间在消费选择中起着第一顺序的作用，因此消费隔离在一定程度上反映了居住隔离。社会摩擦也会影响餐厅的选择：个人不太可能去人口结构与自己不同的社区光顾餐厅。虽然空间和社会摩擦共同产生了显著的消费隔离水平，但我们发现，餐馆消费的隔离程度仅为住宅的一半左右。消费隔离更多地归因于社会摩擦，而非空间摩擦。
We provide measures of ethnic and racial segregation in urban consumption. Using Yelp reviews, we estimate how spatial and social frictions influence restaurant visits within New York City. Transit time plays a first-order role in consumption choices, so consumption segregation partly reflects residential segregation. Social frictions also affect restaurant choices: individuals are less likely to visit venues in neighborhoods demographically different from their own. While spatial and social frictions jointly produce significant levels of consumption segregation, we find that restaurant consumption is only about half as segregated as residences. Consumption segregation owes more to social than spatial frictions.
