So close yet so unequal : reconsidering spatial inequality in U.S. cities
Andreoli, Francesco; Peluso, Eugenio - 2017 - Preliminary version: February 2, 2017
Spatial income inequality in cities is assessed by looking at the distribution of income across individuals and their neighbors. Two new Gini-type spatial inequality indices are introduced: the first index measures the average degree of income inequality within individual neighborhoods; the...

Firm turnover and the return of racial employment segregation
Ferguson, John-Paul; Koning, Rembrand - 2017
Racial segregation between American workplaces is greater today than it was a generation ago. This increase has … happened alongside the declines in within-establishment occupational segregation on which most prior research has focused. We … employment segregation over time.

Income Inequality, School Choice and the Endogenous Gentrification of US Cities
Ghidi, Paololo Melindi - Institut de Recherche Économique et Sociale (IRES), … - 2012
Why in some urban areas do rich and poor households cohabit at the community level while, in others, we observe a sorting by income? To answer this question I develop a two-community general equilibrium framework of school quality, residential choice and tax decision. The model predicts that in...

On the Distribution of Income and Worker Assignment under Intra-Firm Spillovers, with an Application to Ideas And Networks
Saint-Paul, Gilles - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999
We study the earnings structure and the equilibrium assignment of workers when they exert intra-firm spillovers on each other. We allow for arbitrary spillovers provided output depends on some aggregate index of workers' skill. Despite the possibility of increasing returns to skills, equilibrium...

Influence of geometry on stratification and segregation phenomena in bidimensional piles
Benito, J.G.; Uñac, R.O.; Vidales, A.M.; Ippolito, I. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 396 (2014) C, pp. 19-28
We present a numerical study of the flow segregation problem in bidimensional piles. To simulate the pile formation, we … and the size ratio between them. The different segregation patterns arising after the pile is finished are studied by … analyzing the spatial distribution of the grains. Two different segregation indices are defined and evaluated over the piles …
