Will the Opportunity Zone program, America's largest new place-based policy in decades, generate neighborhood change? We compare single-family housing price growth in Opportunity Zones with price growth in areas that were eligible but not included in the program. We also compare Opportunity...

We augment the usual regression discontinuity design model by considering an endogenously chosen cutoff, perhaps chosen to maximize certain criterion that the treatment provider has. This regime faces the challenge that, conditional on realization of the cutoff, observations are no longer...

We formalize an econometric model for two-sided matching mechanisms in a school choice context, where identification exploits similarity between students who just qualify for a school and those who just fail to qualify for a school. We discuss estimation and inference of the locally linear...
