Abstract:
Abstract. The migration model presented in this paper indicates (hat the academic quality of public schools, independent of their racial composition, is an important determinant of in‐migration in North Carolina counties. The failure to control for school quality is shown to lead to a significant overestimate of the negative impact of school racial mix. These results accord with the Tiebout Hypothesis and with a growing body of other research which suggests that the distributions of public services and other amenities are the principal determinants of recent migration patterns in the U.S.
