Evidence of Neighborhood Effects from Moving to Opportunity: LATEs of Neighborhood Quality
This paper finds evidence of positive neighborhood effects on adult labor market outcomes using the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) housing mobility experiment. Our results stand in such sharp contrast to the current literature because our analysis focuses on outcomes of the subpopulation induced by the program to move to a higher quality neighborhood, while previous analyses have focused on outcom...
متن کاملWhat Can We Learn about Neighborhood Effects from the Moving to Opportunity Experiment?
Experimental estimates from Moving to Opportunity (MTO) show no significant impacts of moves to lower-poverty neighborhoods on adult economic self-sufficiency four to seven years after random assignment.

An “experimental” group was offered vouchers valid only in a low-poverty neighborho...
