This $107,388 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of a granular spatial-equilibrium model to analyze the predictions of quantitative urban economy models. The project will assemble fine-grained data on plant/office openings, commuting, and land prices to empirically implement the model and evaluate the predictions of spatial economic models used for policy analysis. The award to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will fund research to provide new directions for improving urban economy models, which are critical tools for policymakers to forecast and evaluate the economic impacts of changes. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
