How well do the point-in-time neighborhood measures commonly used in studies of neighborhood effects represent longer-run neighborhood environment? Our evidence on children's year-to-year correlations in neighborhood characteristics suggests that the neighborhood a child inhabits at a particular time is a reasonable proxy for her long-run environment, and that relying on such a proxy produces only a small errors-in-variables bias.
