``Home production hours of spouses have become more complementary over time, accounting for a significant part of the decline in gender inequality in Germany, while technological change in the labor market has fuelled inequality.''

📢New paper on AI and Zoning with @AlexBartik and @DMilo75

We introduce generative regulatory measurement: a new method to use LLMs to parse the underlying meaning of regulatory texts

We use AI to figure out what zoning and housing regulations are, and connect them to outcomes

[Matt Delventhal @mattd_econ]

A couple of months ago got an e-mail from Michael Cembalest at JP Morgan with shrewd and subtle questions about our zoning research. I did my best to reply--and here's the outcome!

Look forward to continue exploring this issue with @eunjeeecon, @parkhomenko_a_v and @Jaeheeasy

Local governments govern U.S. suburbs. Each one could use *zoning powers* to block affordable homes for newcomers, if residents wanted.

But how much of zoning today is *exclusionary*? When would it have started? Why did it happen?

Jaehee Song uses observed discontinuity in lot sizes to estimate which communities have min lot area (MLA) restrictions for 7,000 neighborhoods. Finds whites willing to pay a lot to be in areas with MLA restrictions. Blacks not so much. @WiEMecon

[Anne Karing @AnneKaring]

A moment of reflection at @WiEMecon. Listening to @Jaeheeasy’s really great research on zoning regulations in the US, I realize how incredibly exhilarating it has been to listen to so many incredible female economists in the past 2 days! 💥 #WomeninEconomics @BeckerFriedman

[Jaehee Song @Jaeheeasy]

I am trying to develop the Real Estate Economics course for MBA/MS Real Estate students @leedsbiz! If you are willing to share any resources/materials I'd really appreciate it! My first time teaching at the master level, so any general teaching tips/advice would be helpful too :)

The draft of my JMP, an empirical investigation of the HOLC so-called “redlining” maps, is out (https://t.co/5zuQ8jEM8j). It is joint work with my late friend and classmate, Disa M. Hynsjö. We started this project more than two years ago by looking at this map of New Haven, CT.

.@pauliecalvo's JMP examines how legal gaps between marriage and non-marital cohabitation affect family formation and welfare. Subjecting married and cohabiting couples to the same child custody laws benefits low-educated women and their children. More at https://t.co/zHrwpWPoLT
