SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Cumulative Impact of Federal Place-Based Policies on Neighborhood Inequality\, 1990-2019
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Laura Tach\, Professor of Public Policy and Sociology in the Brooks School of Public Policy\, Cornell University. Professor Tach will present\, \"The Cumulative Impact of Federal Place-Based Policies on Neighborhood Inequality\, 1990-2019.\"\n\nAbstract: “Concentrated neighborhood disadvantage remains a defining feature of the U.S. landscape\, sustained by legacies of racial exclusion and public disinvestment. In recent decades\, the federal government has increasingly invested in high-poverty neighborhoods via place-based policies—spatially targeted interventions designed to improve economic opportunity\, housing\, and local infrastructure. Although prior research has examined the effects of specific place-based programs\, we know less about the collective and cumulative impact of the place-based policy field as a whole. This study develops a novel framework for assessing policy impact at the field level to evaluate how an array of federal place-based housing and economic development initiatives have jointly reshaped disadvantaged neighborhoods. Using longitudinal data that link federal funding streams to specific neighborhoods from 1990 to 2019\, we find that federal economic development programs significantly improved local economic and housing indicators but also induced racialized patterns of residential displacement. By contrast\, place-based federal housing programs increased property values while preserving rental affordability and demographic stability. We assess the ecological significance of these changes and find that they were substantial enough to alter durable patterns of neighborhood stratification within metropolitan areas. This analysis highlights how examining the collective and cumulative influence of policy fields—rather than discrete interventions—illuminates the state’s evolving role in producing and potentially transforming urban inequality.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pricing Inequality
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies household inequality and product market power in dynamic\, general equilibrium. In our model\, households’ price elasticities of demand endogenously vary with wealth. Heterogeneous firms set their price as oligopolistic competitors given the endogenous distribution of demand. A firm’s market power varies with the distribution of demand as households with different elasticities sort into high- and low-price varieties. Under standard preferences\, larger firms’ products are more appealing\, sell at higher prices\, to more households\, and a relatively richer customer base\, face less elastic demand\, and set higher markups. Quantitatively (a) our model rationalizes a wide set of recent empirical studies in the cross-section of households and firms\, (b) we find household heterogeneity to be a dominant source of markup variation across firms\, and (c) a one-time fiscal transfer of one percent of GDP to households leads to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the aggregate markup.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - A bird's-eye view of ecological community under global change
DESCRIPTION:Description: Accelerating environmental change poses an urgent threat to global biodiversity. While we have ample data on species-level responses to global change\, our knowledge of the intricate web of biotic interactions that structure ecological communities remains limited. Using birds of North America\, I present two case studies on how the community composition and species interactions are affected by global change\, especially human-induced land use changes. Then\, I introduce a novel pipeline that enables automatic extraction of species interactions data from citizen science platforms using large language models. Together\, these studies present a new framework on studying the community-level consequences of global change in birds and beyond.
