Allard, Scott W., and Sheldon H. Danziger. 2002. "Proximity and Opportunity: How Residence and Race Affect the Employment of Welfare Recipients." Housing Policy Debate, 13(4): 675-700.
This paper hypothesizes that welfare recipients who live in closer proximity to employment opportunities are more likely to work and less likely to remain on welfare than those who live further away.
