This talk will present findings from two new papers that investigate the long-term effects of neighborhoods on children's earnings and other outcomes in adulthood using both quasi-experimental evidence and new evidence from the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) experiment.**(New!) May 2015:** The two papers presented in this seminar have now been released for distribution:

- [The Effects of Neighborhoods on Intergenerational Mobility: Childhood Exposure Effects and County Level Estimates](http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/images/nbhds_paper.pdf)   
    Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren

- [The Effects of Exposure to Better Neighborhoods on Children: New Evidence from the Moving to Opportunity Experiment](http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/images/mto_paper.pdf)  
    Raj Chetty, Nathaniel Hendren and Lawrence Katz

For an excellent discussion of this research, see "[Why the New Research on Mobility Matters](http://nyti.ms/1I7lFg0)," By Justin Wolfers (Ph.D. '01) in *The New York Times* (May 4, 2015).
