abstract: 'Whether transit accessibility influences labor force participation and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income of different racial and ethnic groups is examined. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methodology involves the use of two-stage least-squares analysis to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
control for possible reverse causality in two of the explanatory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variables: transit accessibility and auto ownership. Earlier literature
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on spatial mismatch theory suggests that transit accessibility should
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make a difference in unemployment rates for African Americans confined
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to inner city ghettos. In contrast, more recent literature suggests that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other variables, such as workplace discrimination, are far more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant explanatory variables. Because all of these studies used
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
measures of transit accessibility that failed to show the ease with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which residents of a geographic area could access jobs in the entire
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
region, this study attempts to do so. The transit accessibility measure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is first calculated for traffic analysis zones (TAZs) in Dade County,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Florida, and it is then used as one of several explanatory variables in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
models of African American, Hispanic white, and non-Hispanic white labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
force participation; median zonal household income; and automobile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ownership in TAZs. This research finds that transit accessibility does
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not explain labor force participation of any of the groups, but it helps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explain household income as well as auto ownership. Higher transit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accessibility is concluded to either directly or indirectly increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage rates significantly for auto-disadvantaged groups.'
