(Title) "The Aggregate Effects of the Great Black Migration"
Abstract: How did the Great Black Migration affect aggregate US output and the welfare of Black and non-Black Americans? To answer this question, I quantify an overlapping generations model of the spatial economy, where different age and racial groups are imperfectly substitutable. The mobility of Black Americans across the North and the South increased aggregate output in 1970 by 0.7 percent. For the 1930s cohort, the mobility increased the welfare of Black Americans in the South by 2.2 percent, decreased the welfare of Black Americans in the North by 0.1 percent, and did not change the welfare of non-Black Americans.
