Child care deserts are often framed as areas where there isn’t enough child care.

But are they actually the places where it is hardest to find child care?

I investigate in a new paper!

Thankful to the Trinity University Economics Department for hosting me this past week (and honored to have been the first external speaker of their brown bag series! 😊). I had a great time presenting my paper on accents penalty and chatting with the faculty and students.

Had a couple of nice days at the Chicago, attending the MEA/SOLE sessions.

Sad I had to cancel my museum visits/exploration due to my sprained ankle.

@MGF91 Not Europe specifically, but outside the US is down too (key caveat: of those posted at JOE)
