标题： Place-Based Policies for Neighborhood Improvement: Evidence from Promise Zones

摘要： 尽管有越来越多的证据表明，邻里环境在塑造经济流动性和福祉方面起着关键作用，但有效的政策来应对邻里劣势仍然难以找到。 这项研究评估了“希望区”计划的影响，该计划旨在通过简化联邦支持和奖金激励来振兴劣势邻里。 我使用了一个事件研究框架，并利用新获得的失败最终申请者位置数据作为对照组，以估计该计划的效果。 结果表明，“希望区”邻里的贫困状况、家庭收入和就业情况有显著改善，尤其是在后期指定的区域和最初地位较低的社区中。 我还发现，这些影响部分是由居住结构的变化驱动的，并且“希望区”似乎在相邻地区产生了积极的溢出效应。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Despite growing evidence that neighborhoods play a critical role in shaping economic mobility and well-being, effective policies to address neighborhood disadvantage remain elusive. This study evaluates the impact of the Promise Zone program, which aims to revitalize disadvantaged neighborhoods through streamlined federal support and grant incentives. I use an event study framework with newly obtained data on the location of failed finalist applications as a comparison group to estimate the effects of the program. The results reveal significant improvements in poverty, household incomes, and employment in Promise Zone neighborhoods, particularly in later-designated zones and initially low-status neighborhoods. I also find that effects are driven partly by changes in residential composition, and that Promise Zones appear to induce positive spillovers in adjacent areas.
