Local ethnic composition and Natives’ and Immigrants’ geographic mobility in France, 1982-1999
Abstract : This article provides empirical results on patterns of native and immigrant geographic mobility
in France. Using longitudinal data, we measure mobility from one French municipality
(commune) to another over time and estimate the effect of the initial municipality’s ethnic
composition on the probability of moving out. These data allow us to use panel techniques to
correct for biases related to selection based on geographic and individual unobservables. Our
findings tend to discredit the hypothesis of a “white flight” pattern in residential mobility
dynamics in France. Some evidence does show ethnic avoidance mechanisms in natives’
relocating. We also find a strong negative and highly robust effect of co-ethnics’ presence on
immigrants’ geographic mobility.
