We examine portage sites in the U.S. South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, including those on the fall line, a geomorphologic feature in the southeastern U.S. marking the final rapids on rivers before the ocean. Historically, waterborne transport of goods required portage around the falls at these...

This paper presents a multi-district model that can be calibrated to data reflecting housing market conditions, public school finance mechanisms and private school markets. Simulations are undertaken to investigate the impact of private school vouchers. Households that differ in both their...

Finally, we find correlational evidence that neighborhoods with more geographic mobility today also had more intergenerational … income mobility in the past. We hope future work will more rigorously test the hypothesis that different geographic mobility …

This study quantifies the effect of state reopening policies on daily mobility, travel, and mixing behavior during the … different states. We quantify the increase in mobility patterns during the reopening phase by a broad range of cell …-device-based metrics. Soon (four days) after reopening, we observe a 6% to 8% mobility increase. In addition, we find that temperature and …

Mobility Zones are disjoint sets of counties where a given level of individual … mobility directly or indirectly connects all counties within each set. I compute Mobility Zones for the United States and each …
