| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
As an extension of the study on the impact of housing policies on racial disparities, PI has started looking at impacts of other policies on racial disparities as well. This includes the impact of criminal justice policies on racial disparities. PI and collaborators have conducted analysis on the racial disparities in grand juries' decisions. PI presented the results at Hitotsubashi Summer Institute and the AASLE conference in 2023. PI also attended the NBER summer institute in July 2023 where the paper was presented by PI's collaborator. The project on the impact of media consolidation needs revisions to account for new findings on stacked difference-in-differences method. The project on Louisiana's ITEP is discontinued as the information gathered does not support further analysis.
