The Effect of Rent Control Status on Eviction Filing Rates
This paper presents causal evidence of a significant positive effect of rent control status on eviction filing rates in San Francisco, CA. Two datasets of eviction notices (n = 13,887) and property tax records (n = 1,978,687) are combined using a regression discontinuity design to estimate a local average treatment effect of ∼0.3% evictions per residential unit per year conditioned on positive rent control status. Compared to the baseline rate of…

Local Effects of Large New Apartment Buildings in Low-Income Areas
We study the local effects of new market-rate housing in low-income areas using microdata on large apartment buildings, rents, and migration. New buildings decrease rents in nearby units by about 6% relative to units slightly farther away or near sites developed later, and they increase in-migration from low-income areas. We show that new buildings absorb many high-income households and increase the local housing stock substantially. If buildings…
Social capital determinants and labor market networks
We explore the links between determinants of social capital and labor market networks at the neighborhood level. We harness rich data taken from multiple sources, including matched employer–employee data with which we measure the strength of labor market networks, data on neighborhood homogeneity that has previously been tied to social capital, and new data—not previously used in the study of social capital—on the number and location of nonprofit…
