Racial Diversity, Residential Segregation, and Crime: An Industrial Organization Analysis of Racial Competition

Previous research on neighborhood racial composition and housing values has demonstrated that as the proportion of Black residents in a neighborhood increases housing values lag. In this paper, we investigate whether there are neighborhood types or locations where racial diversity does not have a negative impact on housing values. This research contributes to the study of residential segregation by focusing on stable integrated neighborhoods. Using metropolitan Philadelphia as a strategic case, we compare stable, integrated neighborhoods to racially transitioning neighborhoods and predominantly White and Black neighborhoods. To do this, we comparatively examine housing prices and rates of home value appreciation from 1990 to 2005. We find that stable integrated neighborhoods have rates of appreciation slightly higher than predominantly White neighborhoods.

This article discusses the correlation between market structure and value GetCapabilities of major procedures of the PV industry, from the results we can find: As the number of enterprises involved in four procedures of the industrial chain increases, the degree of monopoly of market structure in all procedures are becoming more and more weaker, increasing the level of competition, which resulting in decreasing order of the corresponding distribution of profits, demonstrated as a "inverted pyramid" structure. Market structure of value chain in every procedure determines its ability to obtain the profits. That the industrial organization of PV industry can be explained by the SCP paradigm of Harvard School.
