12 Facts about Temporary Urbanists
Whitaker, Stephan (2019-05)
Urban areas seem to be enjoying a renaissance of sorts due in part to the many young professionals who have moved into central neighborhoods since the 2000s. Many of these young professionals are thought to move back out after they have started families, but the details of these migration patterns are not well-known. I analyze data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel to answer 12 questions about these temporary urbanists?those who choose to move into an urban neighborhood and spend part of their early adulthood there.

The Souk al-Manakh Crash
Craig, Ben R. (2019-11)
From 1978 to 1981, Kuwait?s two stock markets, one the conservatively regulated ?official? market and the other the unregulated Souk al-Manakh, exploded in size, growing to the point where the amount of capital actively traded exceeded that of every other country in the world except the United States and Japan.

Parental Proximity and the Earnings Consequences of Job Loss
Krolikowski, Pawel; Coate, Patrick; Zabek, Mike (2017-02)

This positive effect diminishes gradually as the distance to one?s parents increases. Most of the effect is driven by higher wages after job displacement, not by differences in the number of hours worked. The effect is not present for older workers, who may be caring for elderly parents.
