Join O-Lab and the Urban Institute as we explore the impacts of providing cash assistance to low-income families with children and discuss how policymakers and researchers can leverage these insights to improve the well-being of some of our nation’s most vulnerable children.

On May 9th, O-Lab invites students and faculty on campus to attend our inaugural Applied Microeconomics Conference on Economic Opportunity. This all-day event will feature research presentations from faculty and lightning talks from graduate students exploring dimensions of poverty, inequality, and opportunity in the United States.

With research presentations from Ellora Derenoncourt, Claire Montialoux, and Hadi Elzayn, plus a moderated conversation between Danny Yagan & Damon Jones, this webinar will review new evidence on racial inequities in unemployment insurance and tax auditing, plus insights into the research to policy pipeline.

With support from the Berkeley Food Institute and the Goldman School of Public Policy, this event will review evidence around nutrition and economic support and feature remarks and moderated conversation between O-Lab Faculty Director Hilary Hoynes and Faculty Affiliate Adam Leive.

Join O-Lab and the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research for the 2023 Convening on Regional Inequality and Place-Based Policy! As supported by a growing body of evidence examining how economic inequality has shifted the geography of jobs and opportunity, this event will explore the how the research and policy landscape has shifted toward supporting economic development in low-income regions.
