Abstract

Moving to Opportunity (MTO) was a housing mobility program designed to investigate neighborhood effects, the influences of the social and physical environment on human development and well-being. Some of the results from MTO have been interpreted as evidence that neighborhood effects are not as strong as earlier evidence had indicated. This Commentary discusses new research suggesting that neighborhood effects are, on the contrary, as strong and policy relevant as suspected before the experiment. This Commentary also discusses why the interpretation of the MTO data is important: If neighborhood effects drive outcomes, then addressing racial inequality requires concerted efforts beyond ending racial discrimination.

种族不平等,邻里效应,以及向机会转移
移动到机遇(MTO)是一个住房流动项目,旨在调查社区效应,社会和自然环境对人类发展和福祉的影响。MTO的一些结果被解释为邻里效应不像先前证据所表明的那样强烈的证据。本评论讨论的新研究表明,相反,邻里效应与实验前所怀疑的一样强大,与政策相关。本评论还讨论了为什么对MTO数据的解释是重要的:如果邻里效应驱动结果,那么解决种族不平等问题需要的不仅仅是结束种族歧视的协同努力。
