Working Paper
Regional resilience

In this paper, I study long-run population changes across U.S. metropolitan areas. First, I argue that changes over a long period of time in the geographic distribution of population can be informative about the so-called resilience" of regions.

In contrast, increasing returns to scale may be able to sustain multiple equilibria at below-average population densities.

To bear, or not to bear: is that an economics question?

Weighing the costs vs. the benefits of having children may seem like a cold-blooded exercise. Yet such an analysis can help us understand not only such private decisions but public policies, too.
