Evan Mast, Does Building New Apartments in Low-Income Areas Cause Displacement?

Evan Mast, Assistant Professor of Economics at Notre Dame, is our guest. The focus of the conversation is Evan's paper Local Effects of Large New Apartment Buildings in Low Income Areas (with Brian J. Asquith and Davin Reed).

Kate Pennington, Economist at the U.S. Census Bureau Center for Economic Studies, is our guest co-host. Check out Kate's working paper Does New Housing Cause Displacement?: The Supply and Demand Effects of Construction in San Francisco, which uses a different identfication strategy but reaches similar results.
