Abstract: This dissertation uses a random-coefficients discrete-choice logit to analyze how different households choose to live in a particular school district based on the public amenities provided in their communities. The dissertation pays particular attention to the role of financial and credit constraints in restricting school district access for minorities. IPUMS are used at the front-end of the dissertation to look at the total distributions of selected household financial characteristics in Southern California.
