discovery is the path impact is the goal our projects interactive research brief sticky wage norms and the real wage cost of unexpected inflation interactive research brief the impact of pay period reporting on improper redeterminations for medicaid problems and implications for implementation interactive tool nursing homes predictably unpredictable inspections interactive research brief carbon prices forest conservation and reforestation in the brazilian amazon a spatial and dynamic model of how externally set carbon prices could shift brazil s optimal balance between cattle ranching and amazon forest preservation across 1 043 sites interactive research brief unlocking the power of markets as a new tool for regulating pollution how the world s first particulate pollution market in india reduced pollution and increased industry profits interactive tool explore historical manufacturing data in this project uchicago and nyu economists richard hornbeck anders humlum and martin rotemberg have led efforts to digitize the surviving historical records on american manufacturing establishments during the second industrial revolution making it easily accessible to researchers and the general public interactive research brief the hidden volatility of american workers paychecks most us workers experience substantial month to month fluctuations in pay even within ongoing employment relationships leading to fluctuating household consumption and an increased propensity to quit interactive research brief why has regional income convergence in the u s declined is it worth living in a major labor market where wages are higher but so is rent for much of the 20th century the answer was yes higher wages generally offset the higher cost of living today however it depends interactive research brief building costs and house prices new research challenges the common belief that construction costs drive housing prices showing their impact has been modest and declining for decades interactive tool local gdp estimates around the world this project features an interactive map displaying annual gdp estimates for hyperlocal grid cells worldwide calculated using remote sensing data the estimates can be used to analyze economic shocks local policies and regional disparities explore how the biggest business tax cut in us history impacted investment wages output and tax revenue the 2017 tax cut and jobs act tcja reduced corporate tax revenue by 40 firms experiencing larger tax rate cuts invested more raising total investment by 11 the tcja raised gdp by less than 1 what went wrong with federal student loans the increase in aggregate student debt and the struggles of today s borrowers can be traced to changes in federal policies intended to broaden access to educational opportunities which increased enrollment and borrowing in higher risk circumstances return to office and the tenure distribution return to office rto mandates drive employees away from firms with senior employees leaving at the highest rates likely leading to significant human capital costs in terms of output productivity innovation and competitiveness for the companies implementing strict rto policies the adoption of chatgpt half of workers have used chatgpt with younger less experienced higher achieving and especially male workers leading the curve workers see substantial productivity potential in using chatgpt and informing workers about expert assessments of chatgpt shifts their beliefs but has limited impacts on their adoption of chatgpt exploring discrimination report cards for firms and industries a new statistical methodology grades the race and gender callback gaps of large us employers different transportation policies lead to large societal welfare gains at a cost to travelers in chicago welfare would be increased by charging almost nothing for public transit increasing the frequency of trains and lowering the frequency of buses road pricing reduces environmental externalities but only benefits travelers if the revenues are used for transit subsidies and rebates how are algorithms so beneficial for policy policies that implement the use of algorithms for making pretrial release decisions referring medical patients for testing and guiding workplace safety inspections would provide large benefits and pay for themselves in the long run are courts on the wrong side of the laffer curve for a small subset of criminal defendants often those who are poor black and charged with felonies court fines are set so high that reducing them could increase revenue decreasing court fines for the average defendant however would come at substantial cost to governments 7 charts exploring the evolution of platform gig work research illustrates the demographic composition earnings amounts and tax filing behavior of new platform gig workers over time these are the potential outcomes of injured workers with and without reskilling through higher education injured workers who reskill through bachelor s programs earn 25 more than before their injuries and avoid being prescribed antidepressants or receiving disability insurance can a defendent s face determine incarceration by applying machine learning algorithms to human behavior data this paper offers a novel approach to hypothesis generation for scientific research the authors apply this framework to reveal that judges rely on facial characteristics of defendants when making incarceration decisions here s how much time countries save on daily commutes when working from home work from home saved about two hours per week per worker in 2021 and 2022 and will likely save about one hour per week per worker after the pandemic ends workers allocate 40 percent of time savings to work and about 11 percent to caregiving activities a look at the disaggregated circular flow of money in denmark this novel research improves upon current aggregate economic tracking measures to include disaggregated economic accounts that enrich our understanding of economic shocks and their effects here s what happens when a city in california takes up automated enforcement of water conservation rules view the impact of automating enforcement on the average household s water use and water savings and probability of calling customer service about the bfi data studio is an initiative of the
