SUMMARY:Daniel Waldinger (NYU)  - "Targeting In-Kind Transfers Through Market Design: A Revealed Preference Analysis of Public Housing Allocation"
DESCRIPTION:Microeconomics Seminar : \nTime: 4:00pm – 5:15pm\nDate:  16th June 2021\nRoom: VISIO \nDaniel Waldinger (NYU)  – “Targeting In-Kind Transfers Through Market Design: A Revealed Preference Analysis of Public Housing Allocation” \n\nAbstract: Public housing benefits are rationed through waitlists. Theoretical work on public housing allocation has debated how much choice applicants should have over units\, identifying a possible trade-off between efficiency and redistribution. This paper empirically establishes the existence and economic importance of this trade-off using waitlist data from Cambridge\, MA. I estimate a model of public housing preferences in a setting where heterogeneous apartments are rationed through waiting time. Eliminating choice would improve targeting but reduce tenant welfare by more than 30 percent. Such a change is only justified on targeting grounds by a strong social preference for redistribution. \n  \n  \n\nOrganizers:\nRoxana Fernandez Machado (CREST)\, Julien Combe (CREST)\, and Matias Nunez (CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST\n  \n
