This $549,136 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research on the impact of unconditional cash transfers on labor market outcomes. The University of Chicago will investigate the medium- and long-term effects of cash assistance programs on factors such as time use, job searching, motivation, and worker bargaining power. The researchers will leverage an existing randomized controlled trial on cash transfers, collect additional high-frequency data, and conduct field experiments....
This $309,960 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a research project at the University of Chicago to improve the methodology for testing coefficients in linear regressions. The project will develop new test methods that are robust to assumptions about error term distributions and sample size, allowing for more precise coefficient estimates. This research aims to enhance...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $156,866 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program. The grant will fund research developing new statistical and econometric methods for analyzing social network data. Specifically, the project aims to build methodology for incorporating high-dimensional and incomplete network data into empirical models. Researchers will create a nonparametric regression framework for networks and investigate...
This five-year $243,609 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research at Princeton University to develop new econometric methods for studying heterogeneity in macroeconomics. The Principal Investigator will conduct four projects to 1) develop statistical procedures to visualize multi-dimensional cross-sectional heterogeneity across groups, 2) provide a causal reinterpretation of methods for estimating temporal...
The University of Chicago received a two-year, $212,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to understand the role of social networks in hiring for low-wage construction jobs. Through experimental methods conducted in partnership with construction worksites, the university will test how an individual's level of social connectedness affects their likelihood of securing employment. Researchers will measure worker productivity...
This $395,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a first-of-its-kind study on the role of workplaces in accelerating individual income inequality in the United States from 1996 to 2021. The research leverages confidential administrative data to analyze changes in employment, earnings, and fringe benefits that contributed to growing economic inequality over the last three decades. Key...
This $285,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical methods to guide economic and public policy decisions in rapidly changing environments. The research aims to build on recent advances in statistical decision theory, causal inference, and machine learning to create econometric models that can effectively inform evidence-based policymaking while...
