New Methods for Measuring and Analyzing Segregation

Drawing on the insight that in this framework index scores are additively determined by individual residential attainments, the book shows that the level of segregation in a given city can be equated to the effect of group membership (e.g., race) on individual residential attainments.

Pornind de la ideea ca, in acest cadru, scorurile indexului sunt determinate in mod suplimentar de realizarile rezidentiale individuale, cartea arata ca nivelul de segregare intr-un oras dat poate fi echivalat cu efectul apartenentei la grup (de exemplu, rasa) asupra realizarilor rezidentiale individuale.
