Evaluating Rent Control Intensity in California Cities, 2010–2019
Localities in the U.S. have adopted rent regulation ordinances of varying strengths. This raises the question: do relatively stronger city-level rent control policies correlate more strongly with tenant outcomes? We conduct a between-city comparison of city-level rent control policies in California between 2010 and 2019 and develop a novel, standardized index of ordinance intensity based on allowable annual rent increases. We find that cities wit…
Uplifting winds
A primary concern of stakeholders when considering a new wind project is the potential negative effects wind turbines may have on home values. Yet, what has been surprisingly overlooked in the literature and general discourse around wind energy is that the well-researched positive economic development and fiscal and amenity benefits of wind energy (e.g., increased tax base, tax revenue, better public services and employment gains) might positivel…
Tax salience and citizen evaluation of government
This paper examines how tax salience—or how aware individuals are of their property tax payments that finance local public services—correlates with citizens’ evaluation of their local government. Drawing on theories of expectation formation for public services and fiscal illusion, we hypothesize that reduced tax salience is associated with lower normative expectations, which will correlate with increased reported satisfaction with their local gov…
The Intergenerational Transmission of Policy Feedback in the United States
Do government actions, or inactions, committed decades (or centuries) ago toward a specific community influence how members of that community trust and perceive government today? Past government actions that extracted resources (a negative resource effect) and communicated an individual's place within American Society (a negative interpretative effect) may diminish trust. This paper explores this question by examining the relationship between the…
Institutional Factors as Antecedents of Energy Efficiency Policies at the Local Level
This article explores institutional factors as antecedents of energy efficiency policy adopted by the largest cities within the United States. Drawing on the theory of institutional isomorphism, we hypothesize that four forces—coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphism, along with nonprofit pressure—affect the energy efficiency policy of 41 of the largest cities within the United States from 2013 to 2019. We find some evidence for coercive and …
Assessment frequency and equity of the property tax
Philadelphia's Actual Valuation Initiative adopted in 2013 creates a unique opportunity for us to test whether improved reassessments at short intervals to true market value improve property tax equity. Based on a difference‐in‐differences framework using parcel‐level data matched with transactions in Philadelphia and 15 comparable cities, this study finds positive evidence on equity outcomes from more regular reassessments. The quality of proper…
How Did Colleges Disburse Emergency Aid During Covid-19? An Implementation Analysis of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund
To address the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress authorized the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF I) in March 2020 with over $6 billion allocated for emergency financial aid. In this paper, we utilize the administrative burden framework to analyze HEERF I implementation for a stratified random sample of colleges, focusing on the implications for equity. We find that disbursement policies varied along two dime…
Infrequent Identity Signals, Multiple Correspondence, and Detection Risks in Audit Correspondence Studies
Audit correspondence studies are field experiments that test for discriminatory behavior in active markets. Researchers measure discrimination by comparing how responsive individuals (“audited units”) are to correspondences from different types of people. This article elaborates on the tradeoffs researchers face between sending audited units only one correspondence and sending them multiple correspondences, especially when including less common i…

Do Foster Care Agencies Discriminate Against Gay Couples? Evidence from a Correspondence Study
There has been considerable recent debate regarding proposed policies that would allow foster care administrators to discriminate on the basis of the sexual orientation of the foster parent. To date, however, we know very little about the level of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the foster care system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical investigation to ask whether foster care agencies, the public, and …
Who Benefits from Accountability‐Driven School Closure? Evidence from New York City
We estimate the effects of accountability‐driven school closure in New York City on students who attended middle schools that were closed at the time of closure and students who would have likely attended a closed middle school had it remained open. We find that students who would have entered the closed school had it not closed attended schools that perform better on standardized exams and have higher value‐added measures than did the closed sch…
