Abstract
Neighbourhood effects and worker mobility have been proposed as

explanations for the pattern of employment in cities. This paper

presents a the oretical framework within which the joint impact of these

two factors can be analyzed. The evolution of unemployment patterns

is modelled as a stochastic process, where workers sometimes make

employment decisions influenced by local norms, and sometimes

decisions of where to live based on neighbourhood characteristics. A

long run outcome of full employment and complete segregation is

found to be robust to a wide range of process specifications. More nonsegregated

long run outcomes are possible if mobility decisions are

based on neighbourhood employment rates than if they are based on other neighbourhood characteristics.
