SUMMARY:Maya Rossin-Slater\, Stanford University\, "Birth Centers and Maternal and Infant Health"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Maya Rossin-Slater is an Associate Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic and Policy Research (SIEPR)\, a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). She received her Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University\, and her BA in Economics and Statistics from the University of California at Berkeley. Rossin-Slater’s research includes work in health\, public\, and labor economics. She focuses on issues in maternal\, child\, and family well-being\, health disparities\, and public policies and other factors affecting disadvantaged populations in the United States and other developed countries. She is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the American Economic Association’s Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession Elaine Bennett Research Prize (awarded to recognize outstanding research in any field of economics by a woman not more than ten years beyond her PhD). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBirth Centers and Maternal and Infant Health\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: The number of births at birth centers–freestanding medical facilities equipped to perform low-risk vaginal deliveries–has more than doubled over the past decade in the US. Interest in their usage increased during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and has continued to grow since. Moreover\, the large racial disparities in maternal health outcomes have prompted advocates to encourage Black women in particular to consider birth centers for their perinatal care. To date\, however\, there is limited evidence on the causal impacts of access to birth centers on maternal and infant health outcomes\, or disparities within them. We provide novel evidence on the impact of access to birth centers on maternal and infant health outcomes. We collect new data on birth centers from several industry organizations as well as the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services\, and use nearly two decades of restricted-use individual-level birth records data from the National Vital Statistics System to study these questions. We examine the impacts of county-level access to birth centers on pregnancy\, delivery\, and infant health outcomes\, as well as on differences in who uses them between mothers from different racial and educational groups.

SUMMARY:Dave Kirk\, University of Pennsylvania\, "The Rideshare Revolution and Racial Disparities in Police Stops"
DESCRIPTION:  \nBiography: Dave Kirk is Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Criminology and Research Associate of the Population Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago and previously served on the faculties at the University of Oxford\, the University of Texas at Austin\, and the University of Maryland. Kirk’s research agenda is primarily organized around three interrelated themes: the causes and consequences of cynicism and distrust of the police and the law\, solutions to criminal recidivism\, and the causes and consequences of gun violence. He is also interested in the implications of the rise of the sharing economy for crime and public safety. He currently serves as an Associate Editor of Criminology. \n  \n\n\n\nThe Rideshare Revolution and Racial Disparities in Police Stops\n\n\n\nAbstract: Racial disparities in police stops remain a central concern in social science research. While prior explanations emphasize differences by race in driving exposure\, behavior\, and vehicle characteristics as well as variation in the deployment of police and potential racial bias\, one overlooked factor is the rapid expansion of ridesharing. Because ridesharing substitutes for private vehicle trips\, its growth may alter the risk set of individuals exposed to discretionary traffic enforcement. This study combines administrative records of traffic stops by the Chicago Police Department\, use-of-force reports\, and comprehensive rideshare trip data from 2019–2024. I construct district–month panels of police stops and use of force incidents by race and estimate negative binomial models with district and month fixed effects to assess whether increases in rideshare activity are associated with differential changes in police contact across racial groups. Preliminary results suggest that increases in rideshare activity are associated with a narrowing of Black-White disparities in police stops. Use of force analyses show similar patterns. These findings suggest that rideshare expansion may narrow racial disparities in police contact and uses of force by altering the risk set of drivers exposed to traffic enforcement.

SUMMARY:Bussarawan “Puk” Teerawichitchainan\, National University of Singapore\, "Aging with Limited Kin in Family-Oriented Societies"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Southeast Asian Studies Center (CSEAS) has invited Bussarawan “Puk” Teerawichitchainan to give a talk at UCLA on Monday\, May 18. Puk is a demographer at the National University of Singapore (NUS) spending this academic year at the CASBS in Stanford: \n\n\nhttps://casbs.stanford.edu/people/bussarawan-teerawichitchainan \n\n\nHer talk will be about her project on aging in Singapore and Thailand. \n\n\nAcross the Asia Pacific\, rapid demographic transitions and changing family structures are producing a growing number of adults aging with limited close kin. Drawing on mixed-methods evidence from Thailand and Singapore\, this talk examines how childlessness and other forms of constrained kin availability shape later-life vulnerability\, adaptation\, and inequality in societies where aging systems continue to rely heavily on family support. Findings reveal heterogeneous pathways into kin limitation and the diverse ways older adults navigate—or struggle to adapt to—constrained kin configurations through their support networks\, care arrangements\, and planning strategies. These patterns are shaped by gendered life course trajectories\, socioeconomic circumstances\, and institutional contexts. The evidence also reveals persistent tensions between familistic norms and the lived realities of increasingly limited kin networks. The talk concludes by reflecting on what these shifts suggest about the future of aging in family-oriented contexts and the implications for promoting equitable aging as kin networks continue to shrink. \nBussarawan “Puk” Teerawichitchainan is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the National University of Singapore and served as Co-Director of the NUS Centre for Family and Population Research until December 2025. Her research examines aging\, family\, and the life course in Southeast Asia\, including recent projects on the long-term impacts of war trauma among older Vietnamese survivors and the dynamics of childless aging in Singapore and Thailand. She is currently a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. \nMore Information and RSVP Link Can Be Found Here. \n  \nCoffee Chat (1-2 pm\, CCPR Breakroom) RSVP Here.

SUMMARY:Michael Lens\, UCLA\, "Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Michael Lens is Professor of Urban Planning and Public Policy\, Chair of the Luskin Undergraduate Programs\, and Associate Faculty Director of the Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies. Professor Lens’ research and teaching explore the potential of public policy to address housing market inequities that lead to negative outcomes for low-income families and communities of color. This research involves zoning and land use\, segregation\, housing subsidies\, and eviction. Professor Lens regularly publishes this work in leading academic journals and his research has won awards from the Journal of the American Planning Association and Housing Policy Debate. His book Where the Hood At: Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods\, was published in November 2024 by the Russell Sage Foundation. (Amazon) (Russell Sage – use promo code Lens for 20% off). In ongoing research\, Professor Lens is using microdata to study housing mobility\, whether and how accessory dwelling units are affecting housing costs\, and how planning reforms in California are achieving fair housing outcomes. \n  \n\n\n\nWhere the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Substantial gaps exist between Black Americans and other racial and ethnic groups in the U.S.\, most glaringly Whites\, across virtually all quality-of-life indicators. Despite strong evidence that neighborhood residence affects life outcomes\, we lack a comprehensive picture of Black neighborhood conditions and how they have changed over time. In Where the Hood At? urban planning and public policy scholar Michael C. Lens examines the characteristics and trajectories of Black neighborhoods across the U.S. over the fifty years since the Fair Housing Act. Hip hop music was born out of Black neighborhoods in the 1970s and has evolved alongside them. In Where the Hood At? Lens uses rap’s growth and influence across the country to frame discussions about the development and conditions of Black neighborhoods. Lens finds that social and economic improvement in Black neighborhoods since the 1970s has been slow. However\, how well Black neighborhoods are doing varies substantially by region. Overall\, Black neighborhoods in the South are doing well and growing quickly. Black neighborhoods in the Midwest and the Rust Belt\, on the other hand\, are particularly disadvantaged. The welfare of Black neighborhoods is related not only to factors within neighborhoods\, such as the unemployment rate\, but also to characteristics of the larger metropolitan area\, such as overall income inequality. Lens finds that while gentrification is increasingly prevalent\, it is growing slowly\, and is not as pressing an issue as public discourse would make it seem. Instead\, concentrated disadvantage is by far the most common and pressing problem in Black neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Mare Student Lecture\, Taylor Mobley\, "Estimating long-term health effects of housing instability in the US using a lifecourse framework”
DESCRIPTION:  \nBiography: Taylor Mobley is a PhD candidate in the Department of Epidemiology at UCLA. His research interests lie at the intersection of housing and health\, social and lifecourse epidemiology\, longitudinal data analysis\, and the application of causal inference methods in social epidemiology. He is a recipient of the 2025-2026 UCLA Dissertation Year Award. Work he led comparing the prevalence of functional limitations among unhoused Los Angeles County adults to that of the general adult Los Angeles population\, supported by CCPR\, was awarded Best Poster at the 2025 Population Association of America Life Course Poster Session. In his dissertation\, Taylor examines how experiences of housing instability affect mortality and functional impairment across the lifecourse. Beginning in Summer 2026\, Taylor will begin a postdoctoral fellowship in the Johns Hopkins Health and Housing Collaborative. \n  \nEstimating long-term health effects of housing instability in the US using a lifecourse framework\nAbstract: The United States is confronting a housing affordability crisis\, leading to pervasive housing instability\, including frequent or involuntary moves and homelessness. A large body of work documents associations between housing instability and adverse physical and mental health outcomes in specific lifecourse periods. Limited work has examined its long-term health effects\, including whether housing instability influences changes in later-life health and how repeated experiences of housing instability may affect health over time. My dissertation addresses these gaps in the literature by extending evidence of adverse health effects across lifecourse periods\, from childhood to mid- and late-life. Across all three aims\, I leverage national longitudinal cohort data and employ causal inference methods to estimate time-varying effects of involuntary residential moves on functional impairment in mid- and late-life and on mortality across the lifecourse. In this work\, I find evidence of small\, long-term effects of housing instability on functional impairment and mortality in mid-life\, with some suggestion of diminishing effects in late-life. Although the effect estimates were modest\, given the severity of the outcomes assessed\, these findings underscore the importance of housing stability policies and programs in early and mid-life for long-term health and well-being.

SUMMARY:Natalia Serna\, Stanford University\, "Segmentation in Pharmaceutical Markets: Evidence from Contraceptives"
DESCRIPTION:Natalia Serna (Stanford University)\nBiography: Natalia Serna\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University. Her research studies how insurer and provider competition shapes health plan design and patient health outcomes\, using tools from industrial organization and causal inference. One strand of her work examines provider network design\, insurer-provider contracting\, and the government regulation of insurers; a second explores how competition affects patient outcomes like mortality\, fertility\, and breast cancer screening. \nSegmentation in Pharmaceutical Markets: Evidence from Contraceptives\nAbstract: Pharmaceutical markets are often divided between over-the-counter (OTC) and health insurance segments. This paper shows that segmentation of this kind dampens pharmaceutical demand by softening product competition and raising prices relative to a pooled market\, an effect amplified by information frictions about drug quality. Our setting is the hormonal contraceptive market in Colombia\, where a price ceiling policy generates variation that allows us to separately identify price sensitivity\, preferences for quality\, and information frictions. Using a structural model\, we find that when product variety is held fixed\, moving to an OTC-only market would raise contraceptive demand by 8% and reduce fertility by 0.7 births per woman. However\, when manufacturers eliminate redundant products\, moving to an OTC-only market would reduce demand by 2% and raise fertility by 0.2 births per woman.  Effects are qualitatively similar when moving to an insurance-only market.

SUMMARY:Emily Smith-Greenaway\, USC\, "Despair of deaths? Exploring the childhood cost of early adult mortality"
DESCRIPTION:Emily Smith-Greenaway (USC)\n\n\n\nEmily Smith-Greenaway is Dean’s Professor of Sociology and Professor of Spatial Sciences at the University of Southern California. Her research seeks to infuse social-psychological perspectives into demography to advance how we quantify and theorize key population processes and how we study them in cause and consequence. Much of her work focuses on studying the levels\, patterning\, and consequences of bereavement. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and has appeared in demography\, sociology\, and general science journals including Annual Review of Sociology\, Demography\, Population and Development Review\, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, and Social Forces.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Despair of deaths? Exploring the childhood cost of early adult mortality\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe United States has experienced worsening mortality trends in recent years\, principally due to the rise in midlife mortality. Middle-aged adults are often the parents of dependent-aged children\, raising questions about the consequences that these early adulthood deaths portend for the next generation. In this talk\, I present findings from a series of papers studying the levels and consequences of parental death using Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study data—a study featuring an urban sample of racial and ethnic minorities disproportionately born to unmarried parents. By exploring the linkages between parental death and outcomes across various life domains\, the results offer a comprehensive assessment of the potential for parental death to be a cause\, not only a consequence\, of despair.
