Cornell students - I'm hiring someone to help me archive and organize Federal data and to do some preliminary data exploration. This data will relate most to urban policy, household finance, and natural disasters. Check out my job posting on Workday: www.myworkday.com/cornell/d/in...

We are seeing some impact on reproducibility efforts with the transition to the new US administration. For now, I suggest that you make backups of any data that required you to actively interact with the Federal government, as there may be a delay in response times.... #openscience

Presenting my revised work on the effects of short-term housing regulation on housing affordability in the City of San Francisco — in the city of focus! #ASSA2025

Crack downs on short-term rents don't always succeed in their stated policy objectives, and the design of well intended regulation continues to be a challenge. The New York story looks no different. www.wsj.com/lifestyle/tr...

Day 2 visiting @newyorkfed.bsky.social! Working with @leeseltzer.bsky.social on a new project relating to evictions and foreclosure and looking forward to meeting with a talented group of RAs.

Buying a house was hard before the pandemic. Somehow, it keeps getting harder. Could the U.S.'s strange mortgage market be to blame? My story on how the dominance of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is creating a housing market of haves and have-nots: #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2023/11/19/b...

I think economists are moving here? Sadly it doesn't seem like my non-academic interests have migrated as well.
