Social Interactions, Ethnic Minorities and Urban Unemployment.

This paper focuses on the role of social interactions in the location decision of workers and on the consequences of this decision on labor market outcomes. More precisely, there are three categories of workers: whites, the ethnic minority workers who try to abide as much as they can by the white group's norms (referred to as 'conformists'), and the ethnic minority workers who are willing to build or restore a group culture (referred to as 'status-seekers').
