Thrilled our paper is out now in AJS. Parents & scholars have long known the linked fate of schools & neighborhoods, but how does change in one domain relate to the other? We (@ebruch.bsky.social) propose a theory of coupled tipping & find support for our model in data over 20 yrs & 3,000 schools.

Can artists change neighborhoods? 🎨🏘 Presented joint work with @ninaglaeser.bsky.social at #INAS2026! Using German administrative data and an IV approach, we show that artists don't gentrify neighborhoods themselves but they attract early high-status in-movers. Stay tuned for the preprint! :)
