Over the last few weeks, I have released two high quality co-authored NBER papers with both related to urban economics issues. Joe Tracy and I released our paper titled "Monopsony in Spatial Equilibrium".
This paper has received wide popular media coverage.
At Johns Hopkins, my center is hard at work on new Baltimore relevant research projects and we are holding several excellent upcoming events.
I am meeting more city, state and Federal officials and talking to them about the urban economic growth and urban quality of life challenges they face. My 21CC center has the capacity (and the incentives) to figure out new answers to these key questions.
