I estimate an equilibrium model of friendship formation, with preferences allowing both homophily and heterophily in direct and indirect ties. I find that homophily goes beyond direct links: students also prefer racially homogeneous indirect friends, while there is heterophily in income. I simulate policies reallocating students across schools. Race-based policies have nonlinear effects on within-school segregation and other network features such as clustering and centrality. Policies increasing diversity through reallocations based on income have less impact on racial segregation. – Reproduced Economics of Minorities, Races, Indigenous Peoples, and Immigrants; Non-labor Discrimination 21454 American Economic Journal: Economic Policy EDUCATION - ANALYSIS AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 388654 IIPA IIPA 2020-11-25 12(2), May, 2020: p.228-257 AR124134 2020-11-25 AR
