| contents | We study how school choice mechanisms shape wealth segregation in the long term by endogenizing residential choice. Families buy houses in school zones that determine admission priority, experience shocks to school preferences, and participate in one of three mechanisms: neighborhood assignment (N), Deferred Acceptance (DA), or Top Trading Cycles (TTC). Neighborhood segregation increases from N to DA to TTC. DA and TTC reduce school-level segregation relative to neighborhoods but typically not enough to reverse this ranking, and housing prices in oversubscribed zones rise in the same order. Two desegregation policies further illustrate how short- and long-term perspectives can differ. |
