本文提供了关于搬出贫困社区对儿童长期结果影响的新证据。我研究了芝加哥的公共住房拆除情况，这迫使低收入家庭使用住房券搬迁到弱势群体。具体来说，我将流离失所儿童的成年结果与居住在附近未拆除的公共住房中的同龄人进行了比较。流离失所的儿童在成年后更有可能就业并赚取更多收入。我还发现流离失所的儿童因暴力犯罪被捕的情况较少。年幼时流离失所的儿童高中辍学率较低。
This paper provides new evidence on the effects of moving out of disadvantaged neighborhoods on the long-run outcomes of children. I study public housing demolitions in Chicago, which forced low-income households to relocate to less disadvantaged neighborhoods using housing vouchers. Specifically, I compare young adult outcomes of displaced children to their peers who lived in nearby public housing that was not demolished. Displaced children are more likely to be employed and earn more in young adulthood. I also find that displaced children have fewer violent crime arrests. Children displaced at young ages have lower high school dropout rates.
