This project investigates the causal effect of segregation on economic outcomes. To date, our work investigates the relationship between segregation and property prices. Using a quasi-natural experiment, we find strong evidence that property values are significantly lower in segregated areas. This result contrasts with extant findings which typically find the opposite. We find evidence that our findings are driven by how segregation influences property demand: more buyers are willing to purchase houses in diverse areas whereas in segregated areas the number of buyers is limited to those with similar attributes to existing residents. We are revising a draft of the paper and will circulate it soon.
