1. Heterogeneity: different people live in different places
2. Neighborhood effects: places have a causal effect on upward mobility for a given person]]> 2017-04-10 16:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165720355 wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165721768 2017-04-10 16:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165721768 Two Policy Approaches to Improving Upward Mobility wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165722514 Importance of place for mobility motivates two types of policies:
1. Help people move to better areas
2. Invest in places with low levels of opportunity toreplicate successes of areas with high upward mobility]]> 2017-04-10 16:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165722514 Policy #1 wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165723001 Give low income families vouchers to move to a better place that would allow better economic mobility.]]> 2017-04-10 16:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165723001 P wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165816993 2017-04-11 06:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165816993 Policy #2 wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165816995 ~Limits to scalability of policies that move people
~ Also need policies that improve existing neighborhoods
~ Challenging to identify causal effects of local policies
~ But we can characterize the features of areas that generate good outcomes]]> 2017-04-11 06:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165816995 Race and Upward Mobility wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165817305 ~Areas with larger African-American populations have significantly lower levels of upward mobility.
~Movers evidence shows that this is not only because of differences in mobility across racial groups
~When a given family moves to a county with a larger African-American population, children’s outcomes fall
~Areas with larger African-American populations tend to have less investment in public goods, schools, etc.
~Key implication: place effects amplify racial inequality
~We estimate that 20% of black-white earnings gap can be attributed to county in which blacks vs. whites grow up]]> 2017-04-11 06:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165817305 FUN FACT wborba0342 https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165817568 – By studying families who move, we identify causal effect
of every county in the U.S. on a given child’s earnings
– Predict how much a child would earn on average if he/she had
grown up in a different county]]> 2017-04-11 06:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wborba0342/d13dykl3dswj/wish/165817568
