Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze segregation and labor discrimination in a monocentric city. We first show that, if some categories are systematically discriminated in the labor market (such as blacks, young people, long-rum unemployed...), they will also be spatially segregated at the vicinity of the CBD. Second, we perform comparative statics to examine how urban configuration is modified in equilibrium by changes in labor market characteristics. Finally, we contemplate two policies that the (local) government can settle in order to alleviate residential segregation and labor discrimination.
