We develop a model in which blacks' ethnic preferences can lead to adverse labor-market outcomes. Because of these preferences, we show that multiple equilibria emerge: they correspond to different urban structures observed in the US. By incorporating in this spatial structure a simple search...

We study the endogenous formation of a monocentric city where the location of both firms and workers are endogenous. In our model, the main force of agglomeration consists of positive spatial externalities between firms (such as, for example, face to face communications) while the main force of...

The aim of this paper is to analyze segregation and labor discrimination in a monocentric city. We first show that, if some categories are systematically discriminated in the labor market (such as blacks, young people, long-rum unemployed...), they will also be spatially segregated at the...

Conventional segregation indices indicate complete integration when the proportion of minorities in a metropolitan area is replicated in any subarea. However, this would not occur, even absent discrimination, because majorities and minorities have different distributions of other...
