This article re-examines the issue by considering how the residential isolation of minorities alters general trust and prejudicial attitudes of metropolitan area residents. The hypothesis advanced here is that integration offers opportunities for mutually beneficial transactions and friendly interactions, and these exchanges, when in the context of equal rights under law and a broad division of labor, reduce prejudice and foster greater trust of minorities and their political allies. The results are consistent with this hypothesis and are robust to a variety of specifications. High levels of trust have been identified as a source of good governance and economic performance; integration is likely to enhance these attributes under fair institutions, regardless of the level of diversity. Future research should investigate how political and racial trust and integration are related.

Patent records offer a more direct measure of inventive activity at national and regional scales through an institution that retains at least some of the value of invention for inventors and their employers. This article examines the relationship between inventive productivity and economic productivity at the level of U.S. metropolitan economies, using a new patents database that links inventors to their metropolitan areas. We combine these data with the economic characteristics of metropolitan areas over the 1980 to 2010 period in a panel estimation framework. We find that patenting Granger causes higher productivity in metropolitan areas. Higher-quality patents, measured through claims, enhance the measured effect. Patenting is associated with higher productivity in the tech and manufacturing sectors, but not the local services or legal services industries. Long-run wages appear to be higher in more patenting-intensive metropolitan areas. The presence of high-productivity industries, high-tech workers in a highly educated regional economy, and a large population also contribute to metropolitan productivity growth apart from whatever contributions they may make to patenting.
