Workers in large cities can use their experience to secure successively better jobs. Yet wages of minority workers increased only 25–50% as much as the wages of White workers for each additional year of work experience in large urban areas. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My new research in @pnas.org The substantial economic mobility that big cities are thought to offer is very uneven across race/ethnicity. Thanks @rodriguez-pose.bsky.social!

🚨 I have a new paper in @pnas.org! Big cities provide huge opportunities for workers to climb up the income ladder through their large number and diversity of jobs. Big cities also have higher racial wage inequality, which is getting worse over time. #geosky #econsky www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 1/

New paper! We show that since the 1990s many small US cities have become increasingly "disconnected" from major US cities (as measured by inter-firm ties). This occurred despite an overall dramatic rise in connectivity between cities. Disconnected cities are further disadvantaged in many other ways.

Very excited to have this out! I show that rising density within urban areas is strongly positively related to increases in racial and gender wage inequality, even after controlling for a bunch of stuff at the individual and city levels. #geosky #urbanism #EconSky www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This was inspiring to read on todays Nobel winner but also a bit of an indictment of the research funding/academic hiring system here in the U.S. We miss out on a lot of brilliant people and their ideas because of how hard it is to get a permanent position. www.nytimes.com/2021/04/08/h...
