Best of #econtwitter - JMPs 2022 special edition, part four

Nov 17, 2022

If your thread (or your student’s, or your colleague’s) is missing below, submissions are as always extremely welcome.

Previously: 2022 JMPs part one, part two, part three. Editions from prior years are here.

As written last year: Plausibly these JMP editions have the highest densities of good content of all the newsletters. These are presented in even less of a sense of any order than usual.

@berkeleyecon @uvyriy To study this question, Vita compiles and georeferences the list of blacklisting *villages* (!) and links them to present-day locations. Blacklisting restricted trade and other economic activity, punishing rural communities for failure to meet agricultural output targets.

Here is my JMP: tom-cui.com/2022/09/30/lot… Here are my findings: - Exclusionary zoning practices went in hand with postwar subrbanization, 1945-70 - Suburbs practiced *racial exclusionary zoning* affecting ≥ 600K built units The next 7 tweets explain why they should make sense
