8 Testing for Interaction Effects In order to avoid interacting two continuous variables in the BlackVAP*segregation interaction models, we followed Trounstine and Valdini s (2008) lead and transformed black VAP into a dichotomous dummy variable that equals 1 when black VAP is moderate, 0 otherwise. We then tested our interactions two ways. First, we constructed the dummy variable utilizing the thresholds we empirically estimated: =1 when the black VAP in the council/school district was +/- 1standard deviations from the empirical threshold we estimated. For example, school boards in 2000 using SMDs with a black VAP threshold between 16% and 55% were coded 1, 0 otherwise. Second, we followed Trounstine and Valdini s method (2009, p. 559), which estimated the moderate threshold as between 100/seats/2 and 50%. For example, a school boards in 2000 with 7 seats would be coded as 1 if the black VAP was between 7.1% and 50%. As is illustrated from the examples given, our method takes into account electoral structure, whereas Trounstine and Valdini s method takes into account legislative size.these dummy variables were then interacted with segregation (Tables 9 & 10) to test our hypothesis that school districts and/or councils may in fact need to be hypersegregated in order to concentrate the black population into a single district. Following similar logic, we ran interactions models of legislative size and segregation in Tables 8 and 11, again using the moderate threshold dummy as a measure of black VAP. 8
