SUMMARY:Susan Cassels\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, "Patterns of Sexual Minority Men's Lifestyle and Healthcare Related Activity Spaces in Los Angeles"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Dr. Susan Cassels is a Professor in the Department of Geography at UCSB\, and the Director of the Broom Center for Demography. She studies and teaches topics related to health geography\, demography\, and infectious disease epidemiology. The central focus of her research is on geographic mobility\, sexual health\, and HIV prevention. Her current research is on geo-social determinants of HIV transmission dynamics – or in other words how and why certain people are more susceptible to HIV\, and how\, where\, and why HIV spreads to other people. With colleagues at UCLA\, she has implemented a survey on activity spaces of sexual minority men in LA to examine patterns of geo-spatial exposures\, and whether places of exposure differ by activity. Recently\, she has published a couple of qualitative papers as well. Current qualitative work is aimed to understand how social networks and geographic environments shape substance use behaviors. \nPatterns of Sexual Minority Men’s Lifestyle and Healthcare Related Activity Spaces in Los Angeles\nAbstract: For sexual minority men (SMM)\, geo-social exposures in residential and non-residential places are important to consider for health\, as home\, social\, sexual\, substance use\, and healthcare-related locations may be different. Using data from 219 Black and Hispanic SMM within Los Angeles County\, we identify\, describe\, and assess overlap of both lifestyle and healthcare-related activity space clusters\, or “hotspots.” Lifestyle activity space hotspots are spatially patterned by socio-demographic characteristics\, primarily along race and ethnic categories. Hispanic individuals’ lifestyle locations were less likely to be clustered\, while the opposite was true for Black individuals. Interestingly\, healthcare-related hotspots are not significantly associated with any socio-demographic features. Hotspot congruence was higher than we hypothesized\, as hotspots of residential locations contained the majority of sex hotspots and substance use hotspots. Our work demonstrates a valid method for reliably measuring behaviors of HIV\, sex\, and substance use and identifying spatial patterns in geographic space. \n  \nAn audio recording of Dr. Cassels’ presentation may be accessed here. \nThe slides of the presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Lisa Dettling\, Federal Reserve Board\, “Did the Modern Mortgage Set the Stage for the Baby Boom?”
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Lisa Dettling is a Principal Economist in the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board\, where she is part of the team that forecasts the economic effects of fiscal policy (taxes\, transfers\, and government spending). She is currently on leave from the Board and visiting CCPR this fall. Lisa’s academic research is in labor and public economics\, with a focus on domestic policy issues relating to families and household financial well-being. Her work has appeared in leading journals\, such as the American Economic Review and the Review of Economic Studies. Lisa obtained a PhD in Economics from the University of Maryland in 2013\, and B.S. in Mathematics and Economics from The Ohio State University in 2007. \n “Did the Modern Mortgage Set the Stage for the Baby Boom?”\nAbstract: This paper proposes that the adoption of the modern US mortgage (i.e.\, low down payment\, long-term\, and fixed-rate)–led by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veteran’s Administration (VA) loan insurance programs—set the stage for the mid-twentieth century US baby boom by dramatically raising rates of home ownership for young families. Using newly digitized data on FHA- and VA- backed loan issuance and births by state-year\, and a novel instrumental variables strategy that isolates supply-side variation in loan issuance\, we find that the FHA/VA mortgage insurance programs led to 3 million additional births from 1935-1957\, roughly 10 percent of the excess births in the baby boom. Aggregate effects mask differences by group — we find no effects of FHA/VA lending on births for Black women\, consistent with well-documented racial discrimination in these programs. Our results highlight the importance of housing affordability for fertility decisions.
