TAILIEUCHUNG - WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? Directed by Chris Paine

In this paper, we assess whether boosting minority car-ownership rates would narrow inter-racial employment rate differentials. We pursue two empirical strategies. First, we explore whether the effect of auto ownership on the probability of being employed is greater for more segregated groups of workers. Exploiting the fact that African-Americans are considerably more segregated from whites than are Latinos, we estimate car-employment effects for blacks, Latinos, and whites and test whether these effects are largest for more segregated groups. Second, we use data at the level of the metropolitan area to test whether the car-employment effect for blacks relative to that for whites increases. | WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR Directed by Chris Paine A SONY PICTURES CLASSICS RELEASE East Coast Publicity IHOP Jeff Hill Jessica Uzzan 853 7th Ave 3C New York NY 10019 212-265-4373 tel 212-247-2948 fax West Coast Publicity Block Korenbrot Melody Korenbrot Rebecca Fisher 110 S.
