ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine whether the degree of residential segregation affects formal and informal employment of the Roma ethnic minority in Serbia. I exploit the within district variation in the percentage of Roma to identify the effect of residential segregation on labor market outcomes. The results show that Roma in more segregated census tracts are more likely to hold an informal job than Roma in less segregated census tracts. There is suggestive evidence that the positive effect of segregation is driven by the information spillovers between Roma. I do not find an effect of residential segregation on employment in the formal sector.

居住隔离对塞尔维亚罗姆人正规和非正规就业的影响

摘要 本文旨在研究居住隔离的程度是否影响塞尔维亚罗姆族少数民族的正式和非正式就业。我利用罗姆人百分比的地区内差异来确定居住隔离对劳动力市场结果的影响。结果表明，与种族隔离程度较低的人口普查区的罗姆人相比，种族隔离程度较高的人口普查区中的罗姆人更有可能从事非正式工作。有暗示性证据表明种族隔离的积极影响是由罗姆人之间的信息溢出驱动的。我没有发现居住隔离对正规部门就业的影响。
