SUMMARY:"The political context and infant health in the United States" Florencia Torche\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The political context and infant health in the United States”\nFlorencia Torche\, Stanford University \nAbstract: Political factors could have substantial consequences for the health and wellbeing of populations. In the United States\, an important political factor is the party of the president. The two main parties differ in their ideologies and policy agendas\, and these differences have sharpened since the 1960s. We examine the effect of prenatal exposure to the political party in office at the national level (president’s party) and the state level (governor’s party) on infant health between 1971 and 2018\, considering the heterogeneity and timing of these effects. Fixed effects models show a beneficial effect of a Democratic president but no effect of a Democratic governor on birth outcomes. The benefit of in-utero exposure to a Democratic president is much stronger for Black infants than White infants. The effect of the president’s party does not materialize immediately after the inauguration. Rather\, it takes approximately two years to fully emerge\, and it remains elevated until the end of the party’s tenure in office. The effect is robust across specifications and only partially mediated by a battery of measurable social policies. Our findings suggest that the party in power is an important determinant of infant health\, particularly among vulnerable populations. \nBio: Florencia Torche is a social scientist with substantive interests in social demography\, stratification\, and education. Professor Torche’s scholarship encompasses two related areas. A longer-term area of research studies inequality dynamics — the dynamics that result in persistence of inequality across generations — with a particular focus on educational attainment\, assortative mating (who marries who)\, and the intergenerational transmission of wealth. \nMore on Prof. Torche

SUMMARY:Book Talk: The Voucher Promise\, Eva Rosen
DESCRIPTION:The Voucher Promise examines the Housing Choice Voucher Program\, colloquially known as “Section 8\,” and how it shapes the lives of families living in a Baltimore neighborhood called Park Heights. Eva Rosen tells stories about the daily lives of homeowners\, voucher holders\, renters who receive no housing assistance\, and the landlords who provide housing. While vouchers are a powerful tool with great promise\, she demonstrates how the housing policy can replicate the very inequalities it has the power to solve. \nIn Los Angeles\, approximately 57\,000 households have Housing Choice Vouchers at a cost of $660 million in 2019. The last time the voucher waitlist was opened\, for a 10-day period in 2017\, the city received 188\,000 applications for only 20\,000 spots\, highlighting the great demand for housing assistance in LA. Vouchers are awarded by lottery to households on the waitlist. \nJoin the Lewis Center on Sept. 9 for a conversation with Rosen about her new book\, the successes and failures of the housing voucher program\, and the role vouchers and other forms of housing assistance are playing during the COVID-19 pandemic and looming eviction crisis. \nModerator: Michael Lens\nAssociate Faculty Director\, Lewis Center\nAssociate Professor\, Urban Planning and Public Policy \nEvent Info\nWednesday\, Sept. 9\nNoon – 1 p.m. PDT \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Silvia Helena Barcellos\, University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Is Education the Great Equalizer? \nAbstract: We investigate the role of education in equalizing differences in socio-economic status (SES) across groups determined by two at-birth “lotteries:” birthplace and genetics. Birthplace and genetics are strongly related to long-term SES and education is believed to be a way to overcome disadvantages on such initial endowments. We ask how the effects of a compulsory schooling law-induced increase in secondary education vary with the quality of an individual’s birth neighborhood and their polygenic score for educational attainment. We use a regression discontinuity framework and a large sample that allows for well-powered estimates of such interactions. While the law change reduced differences in educational attainment across birthplace and genetic groups\, it increased existing differences in middle age SES. In particular\, the extra education benefited those with high genetic scores the most\, doubling the gradient between the polygenic score and SES. Our findings suggest that compulsory schooling policies\, while equalizing educational attainment\, might have limited ability in reducing lifecycle SES inequalities by genetics and birthplace. \nFind out more about Prof. Barcellos \nZoom Recording Available Here \nLocation: Presented remotely via Zoom

SUMMARY:Amani Allen\, University of California Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Race\, Racism and (Un)healthy Aging: How socially-assigned race gets in to the body\nAbstract: This talk will explore the concept of race and interrogate how ontological conceptions of race impact the questions we ask\, the nature of our scientific investigations\, and the conclusions we draw from scientific evidence. Drawing on recent findings from the African American Women’s Heart & Health Study\, the talk will demonstrate the use of mixed methods research and intersectional framing to examine how racism gets into the body to impact racial health disparities\, resulting in premature biological aging; and conclude with a discussion of implications for how we approach population health.\n\n*Co-sponsored with the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health \nFind out more about Prof. Allen \nLocation: Presented remotely via Zoom \nZoom Recording Available Here

SUMMARY:Ellora Derenoncourt\, University of California Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“Can you move to opportunity? Evidence from the Great Migration” \nAbstract: This paper shows that racial composition shocks during the Great Migration (1940-1970) lowered black upward mobility in the northern United States. I identify northern black population increases using a shift-share instrument\, interacting pre-1940 black migrants’ location choices with predicted southern county out-migration. The Migration’s effects on children are driven by locational factors\, not negative selection of families. Using data I assembled on destinations from 1920- 2015\, I show the Migration led to persistent segregation and higher police spending\, crime\, and incarceration from the 1960s onwards. The changes induced by the Migration explain 27% of the region’s racial\nupward mobility gap today. \nCo-Sponsored with the Dept. of Economics \nFind out more about Prof. Derenoncourt

SUMMARY:Jonathan Skinner\, Dartmouth University
DESCRIPTION:Hospital Productivity and the Misallocation of Healthcare Inputs \nAbstract: There is growing evidence for wide variation in total factor productivity across hospitals\, with large differences in risk-adjusted health outcomes as well as expenditures. In this paper\, we consider the additional contribution of misallocation in input choices – the underuse of effective inputs and overuse of ineffective ones — to explain why some hospitals get better outcomes at lower cost. The sample is of 1.7 million patients in the Medicare fee-for-service population with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)\, or heart attacks\, during 2007-17.  The problem of confounding health factors is addressed in several ways\, including the use of tourists\, whose assignment to hospitals resembles random assignment (Doyle\, 2011)\, and ZIP-code fixed effects.  Briefly\, we find strong evidence for input misallocation across hospitals; greater use of highly effective inputs\, such as beta blocker\, statin\, and ACE/ARB drug treatments\, primary care support\, and stenting are predictive of highly-productive hospitals\, while an excess of multiple physicians\, scans\, and potentially fraudulent excess home health care billings are predictive of low-productivity hospitals. \nCo-Sponsored with the Dept. of Economics \nView Presentation \nFind out more about Prof. Skinner

SUMMARY:Darrick Hamilton\, Ohio State University
DESCRIPTION:  \nRace\, Millennials and Wealth in the Aftermath of the Great Recession \nAbstract: As America becomes more plural\, it is critical to view race as a pillar and not just an issue in our economy. Despite the narrative that with hard work\, resilience\, grit\, and personal responsibility – people can pull themselves up\, and achieve economic success; high achieving black Americans\, as measured by education\, still exhibit large economic and health disparities relative to their white peers\, especially in the domain of wealth. This may be worsening\, in the aftermath of the great recession\, the homeownership gap for young adult black Millennials is larger than any other generation in over 100 years.  This talk will examine these issues\, and present a political economy and policy apparatus that can bring about a racially and economically inclusive America. \n*Co-sponsored with the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health \nFind out more about Prof. Hamilton

SUMMARY:Alyson van Raalte\, Max Planck Institute
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Life Expectancy—The Case for Monitoring Lifespan Variation \nAbstract: Human population health is generally monitored by average mortality levels\, typically in terms of life expediencies or age-standardized death rates\, which belie substantial variation in length of life. Variation in ages at death\, captured by a metric of lifespan variation\, should be used to supplement measures of average longevity when comparing or monitoring societies and population subgroups. Although lifespan variation has historically been strongly inversely correlated with life expectancy\, we are beginning to see this relationship reversed\, resulting in positive correlation in some countries or sub-national populations. Often these changes reflect midlife mortality crises with roots in stratified education and wealth. In this talk I will present empirical examples from around the developed world\, pressing the case to monitor lifespan variation. \nView Presentation \nFind out more about Prof. Van Raalte

SUMMARY:Nancy Krieger\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:“Structural Racism and the People’s Health: History and Context Matters” \nAbstract: In this presentation on “Structural racism & the people’s health: history & context matters\,” I commence with a brief reminder as to our current societal and ecological context\, after which I introduce the ecosocial theory of disease distribution\, which guides my work\, including conceptualization and measurement of structural injustice. I then offer empirical examples of my research on structural racism and health inequities\, in relation to Jim Crow and both past and present residential segregation\, as measured using the Index of Concentration at the Extremes for racialized economic segregation and also historical redlining (as delineated by the 1930s federally-sponsored maps produced by the Home Owners Loan Corporation (HOLC)). Health outcomes addressed include: preterm birth; infant mortality; child mortality; cancer incidence\, stage at diagnosis\, and mortality; and breast cancer estrogen receptor status. The presentation concludes with reflections on embodied histories\, health inequities\, and the people’s health. \n*Co-sponsored with the Center for the Study of Racism\, Social Justice & Health \nFind out more about Prof. Krieger

SUMMARY:Christian Dippel\, University of California\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“The Effect of Land Allotment on Native American Households During the Assimilation Era” \nAbstract: In the early twentieth century\, the U.S. government broke up millions of acres of communally owned reservation lands and allotted them to individual Native American households. Households initially received land allotments with limited property rights (‘in trust’)\, and were incentivized to prove themselves “competent” in order to obtain full legal title (‘fee simple’) after a set period. Indian allotment thus had elements of a conditional transfer program aimed at assimilation. The policy was ended suddenly in 1934\, locking in-trust land into its status in perpetuity. We link land allotment information to the universe of Native American households in the 1940 U.S. Census. We exploit quasi-random variation in being allotted as well as in securing the allotment in fee simple. Obtaining an allotment significantly increased the likelihood of living on a farm but not of working as a farmer\, indicating that allottees leased out their land. Allotments also impacted wages and occupational rank. Surprisingly\, allotment most significantly impacted educational attainment. We interpret education as a way of signalling “competency” to government agents. Obtaining the land in fee simple was associated with decreased likelihood of living on a farm and owning one’s home\, evidence that many allottees sold their land once they were deemed competent and obtained title. The fee-simple effects were more pronounced within tribes whose ancestral tribal norms emphasized private over communal property\, indicating a cultural determinant in how the wealth transfer was utilized. Consistent with this\, households in tribes with traditions of private property also engaged in more signalling of their assimilation. \nMore on Prof. Dippel
