Angrist. Joshua; Gray-Lobe, Guthrie; Idoux, Clemence M.; Pathak, Parag A. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2022
School assignment in Boston and New York City came to national attention in the 1970s as courts across the country tried to integrate schools. Today, district-wide choice allows Boston and New York students to enroll far from home, perhaps enhancing integration. Urban school transportation is increasingly costly, however, and has unclear…

Joshua Angrist; Guthrie Gray-Lobe; Clémence Idoux; Parag A. Pathak – Blueprint Labs, 2024
School assignment in Boston and New York City came to national attention in the 1970s as courts across the country tried to integrate schools. Today, district-wide choice allows Boston and New York students to enroll far from home. Although 1970s desegregation efforts likely benefited minority students, urban school transportation is increasingly…

Anthony; Moore, Zack; Polage, Christopher R.; Puglin, Jamie; Spotts, P. Hunter; Vaughn, John A.; Wolfe, Cameron R. – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020
In fall 2020, Duke University's COVID-19 prevention strategy included risk reduction behaviors, frequent testing using pooled SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction testing, and contact tracing. Among 10,265 students who received testing 68,913 times, 84 had positive results. One half of infections were asymptomatic, and some had high viral loads.…

This is the policy brief for the discussion paper, "Still Worth the Trip? School Busing Effects in Boston and New York." While choice systems offer students in segregated neighborhoods access to schools that may be more integrated and of higher quality, does busing lead to improved academic performance as measured by higher test scores…

Summer S. Braun; Yvonne H. M. van den Berg; Antonius H. N. Cillessen – Grantee Submission, 2020
Teachers' efforts to manage classroom social dynamics can have positive effects on students' social relationships. One way that teachers may seek to manage these relationships is through seating arrangements. In a randomized control trial, van den Berg, Segers, and Cillessen (2012) found that closer proximity in the classroom can reduce disliking…
