对公共场所种族歧视的经济分析非常有限。为了研究这个问题,我们构建了一个国家数据集的非歧视性机构从thegro摩托车绿色书籍,旅游指南出版于1936年至1966年,以帮助美国黑人在寻找非歧视性的零售和服务机构。我们记录了绿色图书机构的地理分布和演变模式,以及绿色图书存在的相关因素。我们发现,经济和社会措施以及与种族歧视和反歧视有关的州法律与提供非歧视性服务相关。然后,我们使用绿色书的数据来测试是否市场条件和白色消费者歧视导致企业禁止黑人客户之前,1964年的民权法案。我们使用合理的外生变异从白色第二次世界大战的伤亡和黑人移民模式隔离的影响,在消费者的种族构成的变化对非歧视性企业的增长。我们发现,非歧视性机构的份额增长更快的地方,在黑人人口的份额增加较大,但幅度很小。这些结果突出了联邦立法在结束公共场所种族歧视方面的重要性。
The economic analysis of racial discrimination in public accommodations is remarkably limited. To study this issue, we construct a national data set of nondiscriminatory establishments from theNegro Motorist Green Books, a travel guide published from 1936 to 1966 to aid Black Americans in finding nondiscriminatory retail and service establishments. We document patterns in the geographic spread and evolution of Green Book establishments, as well as the correlates of Green Book presence. We find that economic and social measures, as well as state laws relating to racial discrimination and antidiscrimination, were correlated with the provision of nondiscriminatory services. We then use the Green Book data to test whether market conditions and white consumer discrimination led businesses to bar Black customers prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We use plausibly exogenous variation from white World War II casualties and Black migration patterns to isolate the effect of a change in the racial composition of consumers on the growth of nondiscriminatory businesses. We find that the share of nondiscriminatory establishments grew faster in locations with larger increases in the share of the Black population, but the magnitudes were small. These results highlight the importance of federal legislation in ending racial discrimination in public accommodations.
