Have you picked up your copy of Inherited Inequality yet? You should! Congratulations to @christinajcross on this data-driven, accessible, and profoundly important account of why family structure does not explain the relative disadvantages of Black youth.

Today is a good day to remember that housing policy is also anti-poverty policy. ICYMI⤵️
Zach Parolin@ZParolin
In my new report for @NiskanenCenter, I argue that housing policy should be as central to anti-poverty strategies as direct cash redistribution. Focusing on California, I highlight a few key findings to support this general argument. 🧵 niskanencenter.org/housing-policy…

I'm truly honored to receive the 2025 Kershaw Award. I entered the policy research world almost by accident after a failed run in the Australian Baseball League. Any recognition of my work is a testament to the wonderful mentors & colleagues I've learned from these past 10 years.

New WP: We study how minimum wage increases affect poverty and food hardship in the U.S from 1981-2019. Different from recent work, we study the Supplemental Poverty Measure + two measures of food hardship, factor in cost-of-living differences, and more. iza.org/publications/d…

My response with Raj to Heckman and Eshaghnia in the WSJ:

@swinshi This is all exaggerating my point. I believe in trade-offs and I'd be concerned if income support reaches a level where we truly are seeing distortive effects on other outcomes, labor market included. I still believe there is inherent value in lifting incomes of the poorest.
English
@ZParolin So if redistribution had no measurable effect on ANY outcome other than expenditure (including happiness, stress, self-worth, sense of justice, etc.) you’d still support it? Do you have an upper limit on how much redistribution you’d support then? Why not?

Today's @nytdavidbrooks reflection on the BFY cash transfer RCT makes a misleading claim in its opening sentence, but more generally speaks to a broader confusion in recent write-ups of what BFY can vs. cannot tell us about cash transfers & poverty. 🧵nytimes.com/2025/09/05/opi…
English
@swinshi Clearly that would affect my calculus! If by negative effects you mean that we can detect enough adverse effects to show that the money spent led to worse outcomes. But I don't think a read of BFY or quasi-exp work (ie 2021 CTC) supports that.
