Abstract:

Agents within multi-ethnic worlds have preferences regarding the mix of their local domain. The outcomes derivative of these preferences are impacted by the presence of different ethnicity members in their social network. Social networks expand over time, but are often negatively impacted by exogenous social shocks. The resulting migratory patterns and ethnic regionalism are a product of the confluence of event location and magnitude, ethnic breakdown, and the breadth of networks.
