Abstract
Blacks have lower geographical mobility rates than whites even though blacks have several characteristics that are usually associated with high mobility rates such as low home ownership rate, high unemployment rate, and low marriage rate. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the role of the extended family. We test the relevance of the extended family in explaining mobility by using a proxy that we construct using data from PSID. Our results are robust to different specifications and estimation techniques.
