SUMMARY:"Prevalences\, Penalties\, and the Small Impact of Single Motherhood on America's High Child Poverty\," David Brady\, UC Riverside
DESCRIPTION:David Brady\, UC Riverside\nAbstract: Many claim high U.S. child poverty results from a high prevalence of single motherhood\, and reducing single motherhood would substantially reduce child poverty. To scrutinize these arguments\, we apply the “prevalences and penalties” framework to Luxembourg Income Study data across 30 rich democracies and over time within the U.S. 1979–2016. The descriptive patterns fail to support these claims. Although the U.S. has a moderately high prevalence of single motherhood\, a fairly high prevalence is typical cross-nationally and in recent U.S. history. Single motherhood is the most common risk of the four major risks in the U.S.\, but this is because low education\, young headship\, and unemployment have declined. The U.S. has the highest penalty for single motherhood\, however single motherhood has the smallest penalty of the four major risks in the U.S. and cross-nationally. A wide variety of counterfactual simulations demonstrate that reducing single motherhood would not substantially reduce child poverty. Even with zero single motherhood\, U.S. child poverty would only move from the third to fourth highest among 30 rich democracies (from 21.3% to 18.8%). Ultimately\, we demonstrate that the U.S. has systemically high child poverty for all family structures\, and extremely high child poverty for racial/ethnic minorities regardless of single motherhood. Reducing the penalty attached to single motherhood and reducing America’s systemically high child poverty across all families would be far more effective than reducing the prevalence of single motherhood. \nBiography: David Brady is a Professor in the School of Public Policy\, and Director of the Blum Initiative on Global and Regional Poverty at the University of California\, Riverside. At UCR\, he teaches classes on poverty\, public policy analysis\, and statistics. \nMore on Prof. Brady \nYou can find a recording of Dr. Brady’s presentation here.

SUMMARY:"A Signal to End Child Marriage: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh\," Erica Field\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Erica Field\, Duke University\nSeminar Co-Sponsor: Luskin Public Policy \nAbstract: Child marriage remains common in many settings even where schooling and\nlabor market opportunities have grown considerably. To explain this phenomenon\,\nwe introduce a marriage market signaling model in which bride type is not per-\nfectly observed but preferred brides have lower benefits of delaying marriage.\nThis gives preferred brides an incentive to reveal their type by marrying young\,\nshifting the market towards early marriage even when everyone benefits from\ndelay. In this setting\, a small incentive that shifts preferred brides towards later\nmarriage can delay marriage of all types through spillovers. We test this predic-\ntion by evaluating the impact of a financial incentive to delay marriage among\n15\,576 adolescent girls in Bangladesh. Consistent with the theory\, girls eligible\nfor the incentive for two years were 21% less likely to marry before 18\, and\ngirls who were ineligible for the incentive but lived near treatment communities\nalso delayed marriage. \nA recording of Dr. Field’s presentation may be accessed here. \n

SUMMARY:"Migration and the Labor Market Impact of COVID-19\," Mushfiq Mobarak\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:“Migration and the Labor Market Impact of COVID-19” \nMushfiq Mobarak\, Yale University \nIn this talk\, Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak will present the findings from a series of recent studies related to the consequences of COVID-19. The studies analyze the impact of the pandemic on outcomes such as employment\, income\, food security\, including on vulnerable groups such as refugees and migration-dependent households. They also assess attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and interventions to promote mask use. The findings have important policy implications on providing emergency support while reforming social protection programs and creating income-generating opportunities to build the resilience of poor households. They will also inform the global effort to promote preventive health behavior and vaccine uptake. \nPaper 1: “Falling living standards during the COVID-19 crisis: Quantitative evidence from nine developing countries” \nAbstract \nDespite numerous journalistic accounts\, systematic quantitative evidence on economic conditions during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains scarce for most low- and middle-income countries\, partly due to limitations of official economic statistics in environments with large informal sectors and subsistence agriculture. We assemble evidence from over 30\,000 respondents in 16 original household surveys from nine countries in Africa (Burkina Faso\, Ghana\, Kenya\, Rwanda\, Sierra Leone)\, Asia (Bangladesh\, Nepal\, Philippines)\, and Latin America (Colombia). We document declines in employment and income in all settings beginning March 2020. The share of households experiencing an income drop ranges from 8 to 87% (median\, 68%). Household coping strategies and government assistance were insufficient to sustain precrisis living standards\, resulting in widespread food insecurity and dire economic conditions even 3 months into the crisis. We discuss promising policy responses and speculate about the risk of persistent adverse effects\, especially among children and other vulnerable groups. This paper may be accessed here. \nPaper 2: “Migration and the Labor Market Impacts of COVID-19”  \nAbstract \nWe report the excess economic vulnerabilities of migration-dependent households during the COVID-19 pandemic using detailed microdata from Bangladesh and Nepal. Leveraging experimental and observa tional variation in prior migration status\, we observe 25% greater declines in earnings and fourfold greater prevalence of food insecurity among migrant households since April 2020. Causes evident in the data include lower mobility\, less remittance income\, and greater health risk and stigma regarding migrants car rying COVID. We document the global scope of this problem by compiling a large set of secondary data to show that labor migration is extremely prevalent in less developed countries\, and that the causal economic return to such migration is large. We conclude with suggestions for policy to alleviate the challenges faced by migrants during the pandemic. New mobility restrictions imposed to limit contagion may lead the vulnerabilities to persist for a prolonged period\, and this population requires special policy attention.  \nPaper 3: “Community-Wide Mask Promotion: A Cluster-Randomized Trial in Rural Bangladesh” \nAbstract \nBackground: A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that face masks can slow the\nspread of COVID-19 and save lives. \nMethods: We conducted a cluster-randomized trial of community-level mask promotion in\nrural Bangladesh involving 341\,830 adults in 600 villages. Villages were paired and one in\neach pair was randomly assigned to intervention or control. In intervention villages\, with the\nactive support of local leaders\, we distributed masks (surgical or cloth) to every household and\nemployed various interventions to promote mask use at mosques\, markets\, and other public\nplaces multiple times per week. There were no intervention activities in the control villages.\nThe objective was to assess the degree to which the intervention and cross-randomizations\ncould increase proper (covering nose and mouth) wearing of face masks. This analysis is part\nof larger study evaluating the effect of mask-wearing on transmission of SARS-CoV-2. In this\npaper the primary outcome was the prevalence of proper mask-wearing. It was not possible to\nblind participants or surveillance staff to the intervention. \nResults: There were 64\,937 households in the intervention group and 64\,183 households in\nthe control group; study recruitment has ended. In the control group\, proper mask-wearing\nis practiced by 13% of those observed. Our intervention increased proper mask-wearing by\n28.6 percentage points (95% CI: 26.1%-31.1%) over the 2-10 week length of the intervention.\nPhysical distancing\, measured as the fraction of individuals at least one arm’s length apart\,\nalso increased by 6 percentage points (95% CI: 4.9%-7.6%). Mask type (surgical or cloth)\,\ntext reminders\, public signage commitments\, monetary or non-monetary incentives\, altruistic\nmessaging or verbal commitments had no additional effect on people’s propensity to wear\nmasks. Blue surgical masks were more likely to be worn than green\, and purple cloth masks\nwere more likely to be worn than red. We observe larger increases in mask-wearing among\nmen and in villages where mask-wearing was initially low. No adverse events were reported\nduring the study period. \nConclusions: Our intervention demonstrates a scalable and cost-effective method to promote\nmask adoption and save lives. Our cross-randomizations suggest this increase can be achieved\nwithout incentives that require costly monitoring\, that aesthetic design choices and colors can\ninfluence mask-wearing\, and that surgical masks with greater filtration efficiency can be a\ncost-effective alternative to cloth masks (1/3 the cost) and equally likely to be worn. Implementing\nthese interventions – including distribution of free masks\, information campaign\, reminders\,\nencouragement – costs $2.30-$3.75 per villager\, or between $8 and $13 per person adopting\na mask. Combined with existing estimates of the efficacy of masks in preventing COVID-19\ndeaths\, this implies that the intervention cost $28\,000-$66\,000 per life saved. Beyond reducing\nthe transmission of COVID-19\, mask distribution is likely to be a cost-effective strategy to\nprevent future respiratory disease outbreaks. \nBiography: Ahmed Mushfiq Mobarak is a Professor of Economics at Yale University with concurrent appointments in the School of Management and in the Department of Economics. Mobarak is the founder and faculty director of the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale (Y-RISE).

SUMMARY:"Randomized Regulation: The Impact of Minimum Quality Standards on Health Markets\," Jishnu Das\, Georgetown University
DESCRIPTION:“Randomized Regulation: The Impact of Minimum Quality Standards on Health Markets” \nJishnu Das\, Georgetown University \nAbstract: Working with the Kenyan Cabinet and Ministry of Health\, we experimentally evaluated the market-level impacts of healthcare regulation in settings with public and private providers. We randomly allocated 273 markets with 1258 facilities to treatment and control arms and in treatment arms\, facilities were inspected to assess compliance with minimum patient safety standards with the potential for closure. To accurately capture how regulation functions in low-capacity environments\, inspections and facility closures were carried out by the government using their own staff. \nThe intervention (a) increased compliance with the patient safety checklist in both public and private clinics (more so in the latter); (b) increased closures of clinics without licenses and (c) reallocated patients from private to public clinics\, primarily in markets with a facility closure. A decomposition approach shows that 93% of the increase in compliance with patient safety measures was due to improvements within facilities\, rather than exits or changes in market shares. The intervention had no impact on patients’ out-of-pocket payments\, and we find no evidence of declines in facility use\, either in the aggregate or for poorer patients. \nWe then examine three classes of mechanisms: An information channel\, a compliance channel and a vertical differentiation channel due to Ronen (1991). We do not find evidence for the information channel and weak evidence for the compliance channel. Quantile treatment effects suggest that\, consistent with Ronen (1991)\, there were quality improvements across the quality spectrum. \nOur study thus brings the regulatory function of the state under the ambit of experimental methods and shows that even in low-capacity settings\, regulations and inspections can improve the quality of care\, as measured by compliance with patient safety measures. \nBiography: Jishnu Das is a professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy and the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Jishnu’s work focuses on health and education in low and middle-income countries\, with an emphasis on social markets\, or common\, but complex\, conflagrations of public and private education and health providers operating in a small geographical space. \nA recording of the seminar can be accessed here.  \nMore on Prof. Das

SUMMARY:"Banks\, alternative institutions\, and the spatial-temporal ecology of racial inequality\," Mario Luis Small\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Mario Luis Small\, Harvard University\nResearch has made clear that racial inequality is affected by neighborhood conditions.  One important condition is the accessibility of financial establishments. We examine how living in minority neighborhoods affects ease of access to conventional banks vs. to alternative financial institutions (AFIs) such as check cashers and payday lenders\, which are often more expensive and have at times been called predatory. Based on more than 6 million queries\, we compute the difference in the time required to walk\, drive\, or take public transit to the nearest bank vs. the nearest AFI from the middle of every block in each of 19 of the nation’s largest cities.  Results suggest that race is strikingly more important than class: even after numerous economic\, demographic\, and structural conditions are accounted for\, the AFI is more often closer than the bank in well-off minority neighborhoods than in poo rwhite ones.  Results are driven by not the absence of banks but the prevalence of AFIs in minority areas.  Documented differences are so large that accounting for them on the basis of preferences—of differences in demand for AFIs by race—would be inconsistent with available evidence and highly unlikely.  Additional survey data on preferences is consistent with these findings. \nBiography: Pro. Small is the author of award-winning books and articles on networks\, poverty\, organizations\, culture\, methods\, neighborhoods\, institutions\, and other topics. He is currently using large-scale administrative data to understand isolation in cities\, studying how people use their networks to meet their needs\, and exploring the epistemological foundations of qualitative research. His latest book is Someone To Talk To (Oxford). A study of how people decide whom to approach when seeking support\, the book is an inquiry into human nature\, a critique of network analysis\, and a discourse on the role of qualitative research in the big-data era. \nMore on Prof. Small  \n  \nThe seminar recording may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:"Interviewing Immigrants in Different Contexts\," Cecilia Menjívar\, UC Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“Interviewing Immigrants in Different Contexts”\n\nCecilia Menjívar\, UCLA \nIn-depth\, qualitative interviews often generate understandings of study participants’ lives that permit building explanations and expanding theorizing. Though the number of study participants included in studies that use this approach tend to be small and usually are selected non-randomly\, the depth and richness of the data are believed to compensate for the small number of participants and their non-representative nature. This workshop will discuss the use of in-depth interviews in the study of immigration and immigrant communities\, focusing on the variation of this method as it is used in different geographic and spatial settings and across broader political and structural contexts. It will rely on examples of studies in Central American immigrant communities in the United States. \nBio: Prof. Menjívar is a Professor and Dorothy L. Meier Social Equities Chair\, her research focuses on the structural roots of inequalities and on how individuals’ social locations shape their responses to such conditions. \nMore on Prof. Menjívar  \nA recording of the presentation can be found here.

SUMMARY:"Voting after Shelby: Did pre-clearance matter?" Ariel White\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:“Voting after Shelby: Did pre-clearance matter?”\nAriel White\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \n(co-authored with Mayya Komisarchik) \nAbstract: Nearly five decades after the passage of the Voting Rights Act\, the law was dramatically changed by the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder. The court effectively removed the “preclearance” process that had required places with a history of racial discrimination to get Justice Department approval before changing their voting procedures. Dissenting justices and voting-rights advocates feared that this decision could lead to massive changes to election administration and ultimately to lower rates of voter participation in minority communities. In this paper\, we evaluate the impact of this decision on election practices and on Black and Hispanic voter registration and turnout. We use a combination of administrative data on registration and voting\, survey data on mobilization and local election administration\, and state legislative records to examine different facets of the voting rights landscape after the Court’s decision. \nBio: Prof. White research focuses on voting and voting rights\, race\, the criminal justice system\, and bureaucratic behavior. Prof. White’s work uses large datasets to measure individual-level experiences\, and to shed light on people’s everyday interactions with government. \nMore on Prof. White

SUMMARY:"Integrating Refugees: The Role of Language Training and Work Incentives\," Giovanni Peri\, UC Davis
DESCRIPTION:“Integrating Refugees: The Role of Language Training and Work Incentives”\nGiovanni Peri\, UC Davis\nAbstract: Social and economic integration of refugees are key to their personal success and to producing positive effects in the host country. We evaluate the effects of a reform that substantially expanded language training for immigrants who obtained refugee status in Denmark on or after January 1\, 1999. The same reform also temporarily decreased welfare benefits for a subgroup of them. Using a regression discontinuity design around the cutoff date we find positive and significant employment and earnings effects on the treated group\, relative to the untreated group. Employment increased by 23 percent (4 percentage points) and yearly earnings increased by 34 percent (USD 2\,500) when measured eighteen years after the start of the language program. We do not find any labor market effect of the reduction of welfare benefits. We find\, however\, evidence of temporarily higher property crimes for the group subject to lower benefits. The labor market effects are much stronger for individuals with Arabic/Dari mother language\, consistently with a more crucial role of language training for speakers of languages that are very different from Danish. Finally\, male children of treated refugees were more likely to complete lower secondary school and less likely to commit crime. \nBio: Giovanni Peri has expertise in labor economics\, urban economics and the economics of international migrations. In addition to his appointment in the Department of Economics\, he is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, and the founding director of the UC Davis Migration Research Cluster. \nMore on Prof. Peri  \n

SUMMARY:"How Deep is the COVID-19 Recession? Evidence from Kenya and Beyond" Edward Miguel\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“How Deep is the COVID-19 Recession? Evidence from Kenya and Beyond”\nEdward Miguel\, UC Berkeley\nAbstract: Despite numerous journalistic accounts\, systematic quantitative evidence on the evolution of economic conditions during the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic remains scarce for most low and middle income countries\, in part due to the limitations of official economic statistics in environments with large informal sectors and subsistence agriculture. I will focus on novel evidence from a detailed and large-scale panel data collection effort in rural Kenya\, documenting the evolution of living standards over time as well as the effects of an earlier cash transfer program. I also discuss results from over 30\,000 respondents in an ensemble of 16 original household survey samples collected in nine countries in Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America. The data documents declines in employment and income across socioeconomic strata beginning in March 2020\, resulting in widespread food insecurity and the risk of persistent adverse effects\, especially among children and other vulnerable groups. \nBio: Prof. Miguel’s research focus is African economic development\, including work on the economic causes and consequences of violence; the impact of ethnic divisions on local collective action; interactions between health\, education\, environment\, and productivity for the poor; and methods for transparent social science research. \nMore on Prof. Miguel

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: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: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

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
