Long-term Effects of Racial Diversity: Evidence from Linked Census and Survey Data

• In Event: Identity and voting behavior

Brief Overview

We link voterfiles and an original survey of over 10,000 senior citizens to the 1940 US Census, to measure the exact residential context of individuals in 1940 and connect this with the political attitudes of those still alive over 70 years later.
