Abstract PI Last Name: DiamondTitle: CAREER: Empirical Studies of Cities' and Neighborhoods' Influence on Income and Consumption InequalityProposal ID: 848036 The geographic location of one's place of residence and place of work plays a strong role in economic well-being and inequality. While households are free to migrate away from declining areas, towards prospering ones, many reasons mitigate mobility, leaving residents exposed to local economic conditions. This CAREER agenda proposes a line of projects to examine the causes and consequences of limited mobility, how it varies across the income levels, and ultimately contributes to well-being or inequality. The first line of research will focus on the consumption patterns across US cities and income levels. The second line will investigate the benefits of living nearby one's family members. The third line of work will look at the consequences of financial instability and housing foreclosure on homeowners, renters, and landlords.To investigate the geography of consumption inequality, the investigator will use a new dataset of linked bank account and credit card micro data covering 5 percent of the US. This analysis will shed light on whether consumption bundles vary mostly based on one's income or whether one's place of residence influences one's consumption bundle. The second line of work will shed light on why low skill workers appear less willing to migrate between cities. A likely mechanism contributing to limited migration is low skill workers' desire to live near their families. While geographic proximity to one's family may be beneficial in many ways, the research will investigate its labor market value using administrative data. The third line of work will analyze the costs and consequences of losing access to one's home and neighborhood through foreclosure. The project will separately study impacts on homeowner occupants, renters, and landlords to decompose the financial versus eviction effects of foreclosure. Heterogeneity in the impacts of foreclosure across high and low-income neighborhoods will provide additional evidence on whether foreclosure is a regressive or progressive policy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

摘要PI姓氏：Diamondtitle：职业：城市和社区对收入和消费不平等的影响ID的影响：848036一个人的居住地和工作地点的地理位置在经济福祉和不平等中起着重要作用。虽然家庭可以自由迁移到下降的地区，向繁荣的地区迁移，但许多原因原因减轻流动性，使居民面临当地经济状况。这项职业议程提出了一系列项目，以研究有限的出行的原因和后果，其在收入水平上的变化以及最终导致幸福感或不平等的贡献。第一道研究将重点关注美国城市和收入水平的消费模式。第二线将调查附近家庭成员的好处。第三次工作将探讨财务不稳定和住房止赎对房主，租房者和房东的后果。为了调查消费不平等的地理位置，研究人员将使用链接的银行帐户和信用卡账户的新数据集，并覆盖美国5％的美国。该分析将阐明消费捆绑是否主要根据人的收入而变化，或者一个人的居住地是否会影响消费捆绑包。第二道工作将阐明为什么低技能工人似乎不太愿意在城市之间迁移。促成有限移民的可能机制是低技能工人渴望住在家人附近的愿望。尽管与家庭的地理距离在许多方面可能是有益的，但该研究将使用行政数据调查其劳动力市场价值。第三次工作将分析失去通过止赎对自己的家庭和社区访问的成本和后果。该项目将分别研究对房主，房客和房东分解止赎效应的影响。在高收入社区和低收入社区丧失抵押品赎回权的影响的异质性将提供更多证据，证明止赎是一种回归或进步的政策。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
