Abstract

Previous research shows that court-ordered busing to desegregate public schools dampens housing market capitalization of school quality even after the court order is lifted. This paper considers how long this effect lasts. The meta-analysis of 50 school quality capitalization studies finds that, while the effect of previous busing on capitalization fades over time, it does so slowly, with significant negative net effects persisting for about 5.5 years.
