Moved to Opportunity: The Long-Run Effects of Public Housing Demolition on Children
研究芝加哥公共住房拆除迫使低收入家庭迁往较不贫困社区后，发现被迁移儿童成年后就业率和收入更高，暴力犯罪逮捕更少，早期迁移者高中辍学率更低。
This paper provides new evidence on the effects of moving out of disadvantaged neighborhoods on the long-run outcomes of children. I study public housing demolitions in Chicago, which forced low-income households to relocate to less disadvantaged neighborhoods using housing vouchers. Specifically, I compare young adult outcomes of displaced children to their peers who lived in nearby public housing that was not demolished. Displaced children are more likely to be employed and earn more in young adulthood. I also find that displaced children have fewer violent crime arrests. Children displaced at young ages have lower high school dropout rates.
