In his 1971’s Dynamic Models of Segregation paper, the economist Thomas C. Schelling showed that a small preference for … one’s neighbors to be of the same color could lead to total segregation, even if total segregation does not correspond to … deepening the understanding of the properties of dynamic models of segregation based on Schelling’s hypotheses. Its main …

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 …
