This paper presents a Schelling-type checkerboard model of residential segregation formulated as a spatial game. It … shows that although every agent prefers to live in a mixed-race neighborhood, complete segregation is observed almost all of … the time. A concept of tipping is rigorously defined, which is crucial for understanding the dynamics of segregation …
