(RUES) Regional and Urban Economics Seminar

The Regional and Urban Economics Seminar (RUES) of the Paris School of Economics is co-organized by Laurent Gobillon and Miren Lafourcade (Université Paris-Saclay and PSE).

It is a quarterly workshop allowing regional and urban economists from different backgrounds and countries to interact and exchange ideas in Paris.
The RUES consists of an optional coffee break followed by two keynote lectures and a junior presentation, all three with discussions, and a social dinner (for presenters, discussants and organizers only).

It has an international coverage as at least one of the keynotes comes from a non-French university.

Contact: No Rakotovao (no.rakotovao at psemail.eu)

This seminar is supported by a French government grant managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) under the Investissement d’avenir program, reference ANR-17-EURE-0001.

  • Monday 16 May 2022 17:00-19:00
    Special online RUES session: “Neighborhoods and intergenerational social mobility"
    Abstract
    16th May 2022, 17:00-19:00 (Paris-time)
    17:00 – 17:05 Welcome Address: Miren Lafourcade (University Paris-Saclay, CEPREMAP and PSE)
    17:05 – 17:30 Lecture 1: Leah Platt Boustan (Princeton University)
    Title: “Streets of gold: The role of geography in immigrant assimilation in the US”
    Abstract: The United States has absorbed two major waves of immigration: one in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and one today. I will present new data documenting a common pattern of immigrant assimilation in both periods, whereby the children of immigrants completely converge with and even surpass the earnings of the children of the US-born. Location choice plays an important role: immigrants move to urban areas that offer opportunities for advancement for themselves and their children. Settling in an immigrant enclave can delay assimilation, but this effect is overwhelmed by the strong tendency of immigrants to move to highly mobile locations.
    17:30 – 17:40 Interdisciplinary dialogue with the audience
    Discussant/Panelist: Florian Mayneris (Université du Québec à Montréal)
    17:40 – 18:05 Lecture 2: Patrick Sharkey (Princeton University School of Public and International Affairs)
    Title: “The Growing Link Between Space and Inequality in the US”
    Abstract: I argue that space is becoming an increasingly important dimension of inequality in the US. I will describe several trends and findings that have exacerbated spatial inequality, and present new evidence showing how the division of urban space affects the economic outcomes of children. The talk concludes with three approaches to addressing spatial inequality.
    18:05 – 18:15 Interdisciplinary dialogue with the audience
    Discussant/Panelist: Haley McAvay (University of York)
    18:15– 18:40 Michael Storper (London School of Economics, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs)
    Title: “Deep roots and changing fortunes: the changing geography of intergenerational social mobility in the United States over the twentieth century”
    Abstract: Intergenerational social mobility (ISM) – the rate at which children born into poverty climb the income ladder – varies considerably across neighborhoods and cities in the United States. Some formerly high opportunity regions are no longer so, while other regions display consistently low levels of opportunity across the century. The changing geography of employment restructures the landscape of social mobility, but factors associated with intraregional inequality and “deep roots” generate persistence. These two forces are most sharply evident in the sharp decline in ISM for persons who grew up in the Midwest in the late twentieth century, as high-income economic activity has shifted away from it, and the persistence of the South as a low-opportunity region even as new economic activity shifted toward it.
    18:40 – 18:50 Interdisciplinary dialogue with the audience
    Discussant/Panelist: Clara Martínez-Toledano (Imperial College Business School)
    18:50 – 18:55 Concluding Address: Laurent Gobillon (Paris School of Economics)
    This RUES session has been organized with the CEPREMAP and the “Urban Economics, History and Society” OSE collaborative project.
