🚀 I’m excited to share that I’m on the #EconSky job market this year! In my #EconJMP, I study how teachers in Finnish upper secondary schools impact students’ socio-emotional skills – and the labor market returns of these effects! (🧵, 1/N)

@prottoyakbar.bsky.social finds that the speed of public transit relative to driving time is linked to whether or not expanding access exacerbates urban segregation in US cities. Expansion of slow networks reduces income segregation across neighbourhoods. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Graph of the share of US commuters by household income whose primary means of commute is either road- or rail-based public transit. The higher the household income, the greater the share of rail commuters.

Low-income households in US cities tend to be segregated in low-opportunity neighbourhoods with worse access to good schools and desirable urban amenities. Public transportation is often expected to bridge inequalities, but sparsely distributed public transit networks may end up concentrating poverty further if high- and low-income households sort differently between driving-accessible and transit-accessible residential neighbourhoods. This column presents new insights on the relationship between transit expansions and income segregation within cities, and when segregation arises as an outcome of planners trying to maximise public transit ridership.
