Diplomas to Doorsteps: Education, Student Debt, and Homeownership
Chakrabarti, Rajashri; Gorton, Nicole; Van der Klaauw, Wilbert (2017-04-03)
Evidence overwhelmingly shows that the average earnings premium to having a college education is high and has risen over the past several decades, in part because of a decline in real average earnings for those without a college degree. In addition to high private returns, there are substantial social returns to having a well-educated citizenry and workforce. A new development that may have important longer-term implications for education investment and for the broader economy is a significant change in the financing of higher education.

The Great Migration and Educational Opportunity
Baran, Cavit; Chyn, Eric; Stuart, Bryan (2022-02-08)
This paper studies the impact of the First Great Migration on children.

Briefing
A More Comprehensive Measure of the Black-White Wealth Gap
Jones, John Bailey; Neelakantan, Urvi (2022-05)
In this article, we apply a simple graphical device — the plot of the relative rank distribution — to summarize the Black-White wealth gap. We also introduce the relative rank Gini coefficient — an analog to the standard Gini coefficient — as a summary measure of rank inequality. We find that the rank wealth gap is widest in the middle of the wealth distribution. Black-White rank wealth gaps are higher among college graduates than among other education groups. Households with young or retired heads have higher rank gaps than middle-aged households. We caution that rank gaps are not ...

Mapping Outcomes Across Rural and Urban Communities
Haltom, Nicholas (2022-08-19)
How different are economic outcomes across rural and urban communities? What factors are at the heart of these differences?

This Regional Matters post presents several of the rural-urban comparison maps we've created, along with complementary data visualizations. We focus specifically on rural-urban differences in employment and educational attainment to highlight how these visualizations can be used.
