Industrial Policy has been 'too hard' to study econometrically. This is bc of multiple equilibria -- we don't know if the world we observe *has to* be that way, or if its in one of several equilibria. Tishara Garg's phenomenal JMP solves this. It's revolutionary for IP research.

Another quietly subversive paper. Urbanists are often young and childless โ this is a unique demographic most interested in city centers
Even in Copenhagen, people move to the city when young, but move out to suburbs when they get married/have kids, and don't move back
