Day 3--Moving Forward

Day 2 time logged--1:15 Cumluative Time: 2:37

So I think I have a way forward for my first chapter.  I'm going to keep the blogging to a minimum tonight because I want to get my hour in and be done with it--or hit a breakthrough and run with it.

Basically, here's the plan:

1. Use the Reardon districts
2. Compare changes in composition and segregation between districts never under court order, continuously under court order, and released from court order
3. Run/replicate changes in segregation in districts released (consider using balanced panel of only districts that have 5 years pre and 5 years post)
4. Use Orfield regions
5. Use only dissimilarity and exposure index
6. Check Black/Hispanic segregation to see if there's something there

We'll see how it goes.

UPDATE-- Boo-yah! Figured out how to get the Segregation Indices programmed, and I think I checked it and it works out.  Am going to run a few hand calculations tomorrow to check but I now can run dissimilarity, exposure, and Isolation indices on everything!  So tomorrow night, we will!
