“…Otte and Baur 2008, p. 108;Schneider and Spellerberg 1999, p. 192 f.). However, studies conducted at the neighborhood level have shown that the effects of people's lifestyle preferences on their residential choices are rather weak after their economic resources and family status are taken into account (Rössel and Hölscher 2012;Otte 2004). According to Otte (2004, p. 354 f.), economic conditions and living arrangements are the actual drivers of the residential decision-making process.…”

It is widely assumed that post-industrial societies are characterized not only by growing economic inequalities and social polarization but also by increasing spatial segregation. This paper does not address residential segregation (i.e., “intra-city” inequalities), but instead investigates how social classes are distributed over different settlement types and whether class differences in places of residence have increased between 1996 and 2018. Based on microcensus data and applying the ESeC class schema, we focus on the question of whether members of the “new middle class” are increasingly concentrated in post-industrial metropolises while members of the “old middle class” largely reside in peripheral towns and regions. The results do not support the assumption that spatial disparities between classes have systematically increased in Germany. However, opposing trends in the likelihood of residing in the most dynamic cluster of the German metropolises are observed for the youngest age group of the new middle class and the oldest age group of the old middle class.

“…The restrictions on actions in a given situation can thus be relatively independent of the socio-structural position of an actor, though in some cases, they may be indirectly influenced by it. Thus, being relatively well endowed in a socio-economic sense, for example, can lead to a relatively open choice of where to live, for example, in a location equipped with the kinds of cultural infrastructure that is preferred (Rössel and Hölscher, 2012). This does depend on the particular manner in which inequality is regionally distributed, the balancing-out effects a welfare state may have on regional inequality and the particular cultural policy in a given country (Häussermann and Siebel, 1995).…”

Research on cultural consumption has focused either on socio-structural determinants or individual motives of cultural consumption. To better explain cultural consumption, we wish to more closely illuminate the role the supply side plays. We derive the role of the supply structure from a rather simple decision theoretical model of cultural demand. In our empirical investigation, we examine the impact of regional supply on the level of cultural consumption of both high and popular culture in Switzerland. We deploy two analytic strategies. First, applying multilevel analysis, we examine what influence the availability of cultural attractions in individual cantons has on cultural participation. Additionally, a quasi-experiment was used to determine whether the construction of a new cultural institution led to a systematic change in cultural behavior. Our main finding is that the availability of cultural attractions does contribute to explain cultural consumption. Nevertheless, individual socio-structural determinants remain, overall, of greater importance.

“…Selection bias occurs when unobserved factors influence both the selection into the treatment (i. e., the neighborhood) and the outcome under study. If, for example, due to different lifestyle tastes our measures of social status do a poor job in predicting people's residential choice (Rçssel & Hoelscher 2012), and their lifestyles, in turn, influence their children's educational performance due to different parenting practices, we would confound a potential neighborhood effect with an individual effect of people's unobserved lifestyles. On the other hand, the inherent endogeneity of neighborhood effect leads to a confusion of causes and effects.…”

The Social Geography of Education: Neighborhood, Class Composition, and the Educational Achievement of Elementary School Students in Zurich, Switzerland

Summary: Despite an impressive amount of research and policy intervention no robust pattern of neighborhood effects on educational attainment has previously been identified. Adequate theoretical modeling and the sensitivity of the results to the method of the study are the major challenges in this area of research. This paper elaborates the social mechanisms of neighborhood effects and applies various methodological approaches to test them. Using data from Switzerland, the research reported here has detected heterogeneous effects of neighborhood on elementary school students' educational achievement in Zurich. Although modest in comparison with the effects of classroom composition, these effects appear to be mediated primarily through social integration into a local peer network and are differentiated according to students' gender and their social origin.
