Evan Mast

We are hosting a conference on housing economics at Notre Dame on March 18 and 19! Submit research papers to realestate@nd.edu by January 9.

Thank you for the shoutout from @tylercowen in today's @MargRev on my working paper on local population decline co-authored with @EvanMast2. Since Twitter now deprioritizes links, I'm going add some in the comments below to the working paper and our policy brief.

We are hosting a conference on housing research at Notre Dame this October! Ed Glaeser will be the keynote speaker. Submit papers by June 30 at this link: realestate.nd.edu/research/housi…

Table 1 in the link below has these figures for all the cities in the sample dropbox.com/s/24a9u2ixs6p6…

@salimfurth Yep, I see this misinterpretation all the time.

@RichSchragger @MaxHolleran The explosion of cool papers about hyperlocal demand may have obscured answers to bigger questions. This may be of interest to @EvanMast2 @basquith827 @amensee @katempenn @mc_lens @MichaelManvill6 @ShaneDPhillips @ProfSchleich @albouy @mnolangray and hardly anybody else.

NEW POST (#wonkish): When @RichSchragger's article and @MaxHolleran's book misinterpret the same estimate from Xiaodi Li's paper, it's time for a corrective. marketurbanism.com/2023/03/02/xia…

🧵 I am @nd_econ 's placement director this year. So let me tell you about our amazing job market candidates' (in alphabetical order) job market papers. You can find them all here: economics.nd.edu/graduate-progr…

Our working paper is here: research.upjohn.org/cgi/viewconten…

Fascinating article on Black suburbanization and Black population decline in central cities by @JerusalemDemsas. Includes some discussion of my recent work with @AlexBartik theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

🚨a quick thread about a long-running project now released as @nberpubs WP This paper is joint w/ @john_eric , @WinnieVanDijk , Danny Tannenbaum, Davin Reed & Nick Mader. It replaces 2 separate studies of eviction in Chicago (Humphries et al) and NYC (Collinson & Reed) 1/N

Towns build less housing after switching from at-large to ward voting. Just Accepted new paper, "Warding Off Development: Local Control, Housing Supply, and NIMBYs" by Evan Mast (@EvanMast2). zcu.io/dpWO

All of these deaths must be blamed on the Mayor and the city representative for the neighborhood where the killing took place. They have the power and the funds to build safe streets, they know it, but they’re more afraid of angry drivers than dead children.

🚨🚨New ⁦⁦@DenselySpeaking⁩: we chat with @EvanMast2 (Notre Dame econ⁩) about his paper on local effects of building new apts in low-income areas. Guest co-host: Kate Pennington (⁦@katempenn⁩, US Census); hosted by ⁦@jeffrlin⁩ & me. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/den…

Does anyone have a cleaned version of the GSS with metro or state level aggregates of key questions going back to 1970? (my previous data begging on twitter has been so successful I figured I'd try again)

Does electing a city council by districts, instead of citywide, make it harder to build housing? This study says yes: research.upjohn.org/cgi/viewconten…

Finally, while city decline has gotten more attention lately, our paper is focused on the related trend of rapid Black suburbanization. To see how large this movement has been, compare the distributions of Black population in LA census tracts in 1970 and 2018. 7/9

Black population decline in large cities has gotten a lot of press in the past few weeks. For example, see this excellent article in Politico: politico.com/newsletters/th…. @evan_mast2 and I have a recent paper that examines this decline and related patterns. 1/9

We have a terrific trio of job market candidates @nd_econ this year! First up, many thanks to @jenniferdoleac for highlighting Isabel Gödl-Hanisch's job market paper on bank concentration and implications for monetary policy transmission. 1/3

We are hiring research faculty! The job is to work with orgs fighting poverty in the US to run research projects that both contribute to general academic knowledge and directly inform the partner's work. Glad to answer questions. apply.interfolio.com/93541
