Abstract
We study changing trends in within-city sorting by education over the last 40 years. We show that neighborhoods closest to the centers of large US cities rose from having the lowest levels of college attainment in 1980 to the highest in 2017. We discuss the determinants of changes in sorting patterns, focusing on the role of transportation technology and income growth. We outline various consequences of the recent urbanization of college graduates on neighborhood amenities, house prices, and segregation. We highlight the tendency of college graduates to cluster into select central neighborhoods, likely limiting opportunities for interactions across educational lines.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) bridges the gap between general interest press and typical academic economics journals. It aims to publish articles that synthesize economic research, analyze public policy issues, encourage interdisciplinary thinking, and offer accessible insights into state-of-the-art economic concepts. The journal also serves to suggest future research directions, provide materials for classroom use, and address issues within the economics profession. Articles are typically solicited by editors and associate editors, and proposals for topics and authors can be directed to the journal office.
