Does education enhance entrepreneurship
Can legal status help unauthorized immigrants achieve the American dream? Evidence from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program
State Medicaid Expansion and the Self-Employed
Causal effects of the fracking boom on long‐term resident workers
Horizontal drilling innovations revolutionized the U.S. oil and gas industry and facilitated a boom in production in the mid‐2000s in regions with shale and tight‐sands reservoirs. This paper examines the effects of the boom on individual employment and earnings within boom states. We account for endogenous migration decisions by using a novel instrument for oil and gas production in workers' state of residence. We find statistically significant …
Do Foreigners Crowd Natives out of STEM Degrees and Occupations? Evidence from the US Immigration Act of 1990
This article examines effects of the US Immigration Act of 1990 on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education and labor market outcomes for native-born Americans. The Act increased the inflow and stock of foreign STEM workers in the United States, potentially altering the relative desirability of STEM fields for natives. The authors examine effects of the policy on STEM degree completion, STEM occupational choice, and empl…

Motherhood, migration, and self-employment of college graduates
Urbanisation, natural amenities and subjective well-being: Evidence from US counties
This paper examines the relationships between county-level urbanisation, natural amenities and subjective well-being (SWB) in the US. SWB is measured using individual-level data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) which asks respondents to rate their overall life satisfaction. Using individual-level SWB data allows us to control for several important individual characteristics. The results suggest that urbanisation lowers …
Do higher college graduation rates increase local education levels
College graduates are important for regional economies but also quite geographically mobile. This paper examines the relationship between college graduation rates among persons from a state (relative production) and the later share of college graduates for persons residing in the state (relative stock) using decennial census and American Community Survey microdata. The descriptive relationship has increased over time and is nearly proportional in…
Merit aid and post-college retention in the state
Differences in employment outcomes for college town stayers and leavers
New college graduates must choose whether to stay in the geographic area where they completed their degree or move to a new location to begin their careers. This paper classifies 41 U.S. metropolitan areas as “college towns” and investigates differences in employment outcomes between college graduates who stay in the college town where they obtained their degree and college graduates who leave after completing their degree. We find that college t…

Why Are Smart Cities Growing? Who Moves and Who Stays
This paper examines why smart cities are growing by investigating who moves to smart cities and who stays. Smart cities are often centers of higher education, so students moving to pursue higher education may play an important role. I find that the greater in-migration to smart cities is mostly due to persons enrolled in higher education. Smart cities are growing in part because in-migrants often stay in the city after completing their education.…
Teacher Salaries and Teacher Unions: A Spatial Econometric Approach
The author uses a spatial econometric framework to examine the determinants of teacher salaries in the United States, including union activity in the teachers' own and in neighboring districts, teacher salaries in nearby districts, and other school district characteristics such as size and student-teacher ratios. Using the 1999-2000 Schools and Staffing Survey as well as the School District Demographic System and Bureau of Labor Statistics data s…
