摘要

学校和社区的种族隔离是相互加强的,因为学区根据居住地址给学生分配学校,家长在决定住在哪里时考虑到这一联系。家长们表示,他们希望得到一个好社区和一所好学校的“一揽子交易”。然而,在研究种族如何影响父母的偏好时,学者们通常是孤立地考察这些背景的。通过一个原始的陈述选择实验,我提出并测试了两种理论框架,以说明一揽子交易如何影响家长对学校和社区的共同偏好。我发现学校和社区的偏好是相互作用的,这意味着社区特征决定了学校特征对父母决定的影响,而学校特征又决定了社区特征的影响,这种相互作用的性质因父母的种族而异。我发现白人父母对白人学校和白人社区的偏好在不同的背景下被放大了,比如白人父母更喜欢在他们的学校和社区中实行种族隔离。拉丁裔家长也希望社区和学校中有更多的拉丁裔代表,但这些偏好只在拉丁裔占多数的情况下才会被激活。相比之下,黑人父母更愿意避免在学校和社区中成为少数族裔,但只要一个环境中黑人占多数,他们就满意了。这些相互交织、相互作用的偏好意味着,我们对父母如何决定住在哪里和送孩子去哪里上学的理解必须考虑到这些背景之间的关系。

Understanding the “package deal”: disentangling parents’ intertwined preferences for schools and neighborhoods
The racial segregation of schools and neighborhoods are mutually reinforcing because school districts assign students to schools based on residential address and parents account for this link when deciding where to live. Parents cite a desire for the “package deal” of a good neighborhood with a good local school. Yet, in studying how race shapes parents’ preferences, scholars typically examine these contexts in isolation. Using an original stated choice experiment, I propose and test two theoretical frameworks for how the package deal influences parents’ joint preferences for schools and neighborhoods. I find that school and neighborhood preferences are interactive, meaning that neighborhood characteristics shape the effects of school characteristics on parents’ decisions and school characteristics shape the effects of neighborhood characteristics, and the nature of this interaction varies by parent race. I find that White parents’ preferences for Whiter schools and neighborhoods are magnified across contexts, such that White parents prefer racial isolation in both their schools and neighborhoods. Latino parents also prefer greater Latino representation in both neighborhoods and schools, but these preferences are only activated in majority Latino contexts. In contrast, Black parents prefer to avoid being a racial minority in both schools and neighborhoods but are satisfied when just one context is majority Black. These intertwined, interactive preferences mean that our understanding of how parents decide where to live and where to send their children to school must account for the relationship between these contexts.
