Nice to see our article on transit infrastructure and value capture with @arpitrage @UrbanIntelLab come out in JUE. Timely too. Govt. announced expansion of the Q train at a cost of $6 billion. Our research says: finance at least some of it with targeted property taxes.
Our recent paper looks at investment returns to building energy retrofits. Attractive returns (~20% IRR) and reasonable energy savings (~5%-10%/year) are not sufficient to motivate many building owners to invest. doi.org/10.1016/j.apen… @NYUMarron @NYU_CUSP @BerkeleyLab

In New York, neighborhood changes in exposure density—a measure of activity associated with increased risk of exposure to infected individuals—in response to a stay-at-home order were linked with #COVID19 case, fatality, and test positivity rates. In PNAS: ow.ly/wrb250E0zyI

Director of Civic Analytics, Constantine Kontokosta, is quoted: “The computing challenges are solvable,” he notes. “(T)he real uncertainty lies with how to integrate data-driven processes into public sector management.” @UrbanIntelLab
Planning, data and technology coming together with uncertain results is a new old story. A deep dive by @JohnLorinc: thestar.com/news/atkinsons…

🚨New working paper!🚨 Joint work with @SVNieuwerburgh and @UrbanIntelLab: we find 1) Second Ave Subway expansion led to large commuting gains, 2) These were priced in real estate markets which went up, and 3) Gov property taxes recoup a fraction of this value increase thread/
NYC subway expansion created $7 billion in real estate value and shortened subway commutes significantly. While private gains exceeded the cost, the government's share of the gains did not, from @arpitrage, @SVNieuwerburgh, and Constantine Kontokosta nber.org/papers/w26789
