Inequality and Segregation

Steven Durlauf Santa Fe Institute SBR-9631610 本研究将探讨不平等和隔离领域的几个主题，重点是理论和数学模型。 这些主题包括：贫困、非婚生育、高中辍学和平权行动。 将开发一个计量经济学模型，该模型考虑到与这些主题相关的邻里影响的溢出效应。 这项工作将试图确定个人选择分布变化的影响以及个人和同龄群体的社会互动影响。研究的肯定行动部分将研究肯定行动的代际后果。

Steven Durlauf Santa Fe Institute SBR-9631610 This research will investigate several topics in the area of inequality and segregation, focusing on a theoretical and mathematical model. These topics include: poverty, out-of- wedlock births, dropping out of high school, and affirmative action. An econometric model will be developed which allows for spillovers in neighborhood influences relative to these topics. The work will attempt to identify the effects of changes in the distribution of individual choices and the social interaction effects of individuals and peer groups. The affirmative action part of the research will look at the intergenerational consequences of affirmative action.
