Abstract
In this dissertation, I explore the causes and consequences of segregation through a public choice and urban economics framework. In Chapters 1 and 2, I examine whether municipalities adopt zoning regulations in order to exclude low-income and minority households. In the third chapter, I develop and calibrate a model of the productivity consequences of labor market segregation in Northern Ireland.
