Deadline: Call for Papers: 2023 Conference on Economic Mobility

Tuesday, August 01, 2023

Category: Other Events

Opportunity Insights is hosting its second annual conference to discuss research broadly related to economic opportunity. The determinants of economic opportunity and intergenerational mobility cut across many areas within economics and our goal is to bring together scholars with different perspectives on these issues. The program for last year’s conference can be found here.

To be considered, please submit a paper or extended abstract here by August 1st. We welcome any submissions related to economic opportunity, with a particular interest in papers related to education, housing, or labor markets. The conference will be held at our offices in Cambridge, MA on November 30th and December 1st. The audience will include faculty affiliates and research associates of Opportunity Insights as well as other members of the Harvard social science community. We will be able to cover travel and accommodation for the presenters of accepted papers. Jamie Fogel, Matthew Staiger, Michael Stepner, and Winnie van Dijk are organizing the conference.

Members in the News

John Graham and Kerry Krutilla recently co-authored a book published by Cambridge Press in their core elements series in public economics: “Benefit-Cost Analysis of Air Pollution, Energy, and Climate Regulations. The book is open access. The book compares and contrasts Regulatory Impact Assessment in the U.S. and Europe, and addresses five methodology issues: the estimation of costs, including engineering, partial equilibrium, and general equilibrium approaches; the estimation of benefits, with sections on the value of mortality risk reductions and pricing carbon emissions; discounting methods, and their relationship to carbon pricing; distributional analysis, including impacts on workers, producers, consumers, and beneficiaries; and the evaluation of less and more fundamental uncertainty. A perspective on the relevance and limitations of current research is also offered.
