Moving for the Kids, and the consequences for residential segregation. The perceived quality of schools and neighborhoods as determinants of residential mobility of families with and without migration heritage

>为孩子而搬迁——家庭的住宅搬迁可以通过改善儿童发展和社会化的环境条件来推动。使用区域比较数据，我们调查了学校和社区的感知质量-除了其他决定因素-如何影响居住地点和有或没有移民遗产的家庭的内部流动性。这将是德国第一个系统地分析社会经济和教育地位的代际传递的动机，以及在邻近地区保存种族文化资本是否会引发小距离的住宅搬迁的研究。这些迁移可能增加种族居住隔离水平（>白人外逃<），也可能减少种族居住隔离水平（>空间同化<）。同时，这两个过程都影响到社会经济隔离的程度。该项目有助于分析德国有或没有移民遗产的家庭的小距离住宅搬迁的决定因素。然而，它通过关注再现教育和社会经济地位的父母动机这一重要因素来加强现有的研究。我们假设年轻的中产阶级夫妇和家庭在决定居住地点时考虑了社区和学校的背景特征。因此，它基本上是当地学校和社区的感知质量，以及对儿童教育和发展前景的假设后果。背景特征，如贫困率和移民在社区和学校的高度集中，被视为>推动因素。此外，我们假设有移民遗产的家庭也倾向于有机会保存他们的文化资本，这可能会抵消教育动机的影响。在该项目的第一步，我们分析了教育地位代际传递的动机——也结合捆绑福利和其他动机——是否以及如何强烈地影响对学校和社区背景特征的评估。此外，我们还分析了有和没有移民遗产的家庭在这些动机方面是否存在差异，以及这些动机是否会触发两组人的移民意图和移民决定。在第二步中，我们分析了微观层面的决策集合对宏观层面的社会隔离结构的影响。利用基于智能体的模拟模型，我们将估计模型的经验信息提供给模拟模型，从而估计和预测种族和社会隔离的基本趋势。

>Moving for the kids< - residential relocations of families can be motivated by improving context conditions of the development and the socialisation of children. Using regionally comparative data we investigate how the perceived quality of schools and neighbourhoods - besides other determinants - affects residential locations and internal mobility of families with and without migration heritage. It will be the first study in Germany which systematically analyses whether motives of intergenerational transmission of socio-economic and educational status, but also the preservation of ethnic-cultural capital in the neighbourhood, trigger small-distance residential relocations. These relocations can either increase levels of ethnic residential segregation (>white flight<), or reduce them (>spatial assimilation<). At the same time, both processes influence levels of socio-economic segregation. The project makes a contribution to the analysis of determinants of small distance residential relocations of families with and without migration heritage in Germany. However, it enhances existing studies by focusing on the important factor of parental motive of reproducing the educational and socio-economic status. We assume that young middle-class couples and families take contexts characteristics of neighbourhoods and schools into account when they decide about their residential location. Thereby, it is basically the perceived quality of the local school and the neighbourhood, and the assumed consequences for children's educational and developmental perspectives. Contexts characteristics such as how poverty rates and high concentrations of immigrants in the neighbourhood and the school are perceived as >push< factors. In addition, we assume that families with a migration heritage orientate there decision also towards the opportunity to preserve their aptness cultural capital, which could possibly countervail the effect of educational motives. In the first step of the project we analyse if and how strongly motives of intergenerational transmission of educational status - also in combination with bundled benefits and other motives - influence the evaluation of contexts characteristics of schools and neighbourhoods. Furthermore, we analyse whether families with and without migration heritage differ with regard to these motives, and also whether these motives trigger migration intentions and migration decisions in both groups. In a second step we analyse the impact of the aggregation of microlevel decisions on social structures of segregation at the macro-level. Using agent-based models of simulation, we supply our simulation models with the empirical information from our estimated models and thereby estimate and predict basic trends of ethnic and social segregation.
