The social impact was huge, but since you asked under economics, I assume you are asking about the impact on the economy.
The major effect was in states with large black populations who ran segregated school districts, that is southern and border states. Northern cities never had legal segregation even though they had large black populations, the segregation there was due to housing patterns and still persist today.
The South was uniformly economically depressed, in part because black schools provided an inadequate education for a large segments of the labor force. Also the discrimination that the segregated schools represented extended into the labor markets, producing an inefficient use of labor. Large companies where reluctant to locate in these states despite the low wage labor available, because of the unwillingness of many of their employees to relocate to states that practiced segregation which they found it distasteful. After Brown and the the civil rights movement the these states prospered, and many have been the fastest growing states in the US both in population and income levels. North Carolina and Georgia now are above the national average in GDP per capita, but most still lag behind the US average.

Do you mean US? If so, it had a major impact because it is likely schools could still be officially segregated today if not for that decision. People were not ready to integrate and that case forced them too. One of the great moments in American history.

guidance is sweet, because it teaches you recommendations to study, a thanks to self-discipline your concepts. expertise for a Christian is understanding the note, understanding your God, His nature, His will, His outlook on issues. expertise is searching at issues from God's attitude and putting them into action. expertise is massive, yet too a lot of it would want to puff you up in case you do not counteract it with fruit of the Spirit. Ever recognize someone who's very knowledgeable, yet has no temperance and no love? Their expertise is practically ineffective contained in the longer time period. yet expertise? you detect that and your soul shall stay, because once you detect expertise, you detect the way God Himself seems at a mission. Proverbs 3: with the help of expertise the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, with the help of information he set the heavens in position; with the help of his expertise the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.

When you look at segregation and racial equality remember that blacks ever since slavery have had much less wealth and assets than white people.

So for many reasons the richer whites would have a better education system as whites pay more taxes.

Think of 90% of blacks as the same as the poorest 10% of whites.

What separate but equal did was in theory help these very poor 90% of blacks more than they would have helped equally poor whites. Blacks who from slavery had poor uneducated families compared themselves to the average and richer white people.

A fair government policy would have been to say; we mistreated blacks and poor whites and we will spend more to help the poor. This would have brought middle class white support and been more fair.

Yet instead blacks saw themselves as more deserving than "poor white trash" who had been equally disadvantaged as the slaves and demanded affirmative action type policies which would boost only blacks up to make them look like the whites.
