Briana Ballis and Andrew Johnston will lead an effort to better understand the impact of family structure and background on young people’s success in school and later in life. They will link data on student educational and employment outcomes with data from birth records, marriage and divorce records, residential histories, and criminal justice system records. Their merged data will make it possible to analyze the effects of family background on outcomes and to assess whether education-related interventions can mitigate challenging family circumstances. The project’s findings will appear in a series of papers.
Francesco Trebbi will direct the research program of a policy lab focused on measuring the costs of complying with regulations and assessing the extent to which those costs affect economic outcomes. He will link a variety of public- and private-sector databases to measure the cumulative costs of regulatory compliance on key economic outcomes. The policy lab’s findings will appear in a series of papers and its linked datasets will be made publicly available to the policy research community.
Emi Nakamura and Jón Steinsson will direct the research program of a policy lab exploring what kinds of macroeconomic policies can increase U.S. economic growth. They will create new datasets that can help economists answer macroeconomic questions concerning unemployment, inflation, and economic growth. The policy lab’s findings will be presented in a series of articles and shorter policy briefs.

David Card, Cecile Gaubert, Hilary Hoynes, Patrick Kline, Enrico Moretti, Jesse Rothstein, and Danny Yagan will direct the research program of a policy lab focused on exploring the effectiveness of policies designed to support local economies and promote economic opportunity for disadvantaged individuals living in distressed areas. They will analyze disparities in economic opportunity across geographic areas, examine factors that enable some places to prosper to a greater degree than others, and assess policy interventions designed to promote growth and opportunity in distressed areas. The policy lab’s output will appear in a series of papers, reports, and policy briefs.
