Abstract:
In this paper I simulate neighborhood level political migration dynamics following a change in neighborhood racial composition using SimPolSeg, an original agent-based modeling software program. SimPolSeg simulates agent behavior according to the Migration-Polarization (MP) theory of partisan sort- ing (Anastasopoulos 2015a). Dynamic simulations using SimPolSeg demon- strate how non-white migration and conservative ight lead to racially and ideologically segregated urban neighborhoods.
