Designing public transport networks involves tradeoffs between extensive geographic coverage, frequent service on each route, and relying on interconnections as opposed to direct service. These choices, in turn, depend on individual preferences for waiting times, travel times, and transfers. We...

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 …

Recent years have seen an unprecedented growth and geographic dispersion in international student mobility. In this … mobility - the human capital model and the migration model - across traditional and emerging destinations. Our findings suggest …

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 …

This short note constructs Mobility Zones to facilitate the discussion on the geographic extent of individual mobility … restrictions to control the spread of Covid-19. 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 …

New York City's multipronged subway system was a major disseminator - if not the principal transmission vehicle - of coronavirus infection during the initial takeoff of the massive epidemic that became evident throughout the city during March 2020. The near shutoff of subway ridership in...
