The Center for Innovation in Urban Public Policies, CITIES, is concerned with the spatial distribution of income where the most vulnerable populations live on the outskirts of cities far from jobs, studies and a series of complementary activities that influence their formation. This distribution of space ends up greatly reducing opportunities for the poorest populations. CITIES intends to…
This project seeks to develop estimation and inference of quantile regression with measurement error models. We shall propose a semiparametric easy to implement two-step estimator under the assumption of repeated measures. The asymptotic properties of the estimator will be derived, namely, consistency and weak convergence. We shall also develop practical statistical inference procedures. …
The objective of this project is to construct a consistent estimator that addresses the problem of sample selection in unconditional quantile models. The proposed approach is based on three steps: (i) estimation of a control function using a logistic distribution regression; (ii) construction of a counterfactual distribution of the latent dependent variable using the previously estimated …
The theme of electoral competition and its implications for the formulation of public policies is widely debated in the literature of Political Economy. In particular, the Brazilian municipal electoral competition becomes relevant, because the 1988 Constitution establishes that Brazilian municipalities have the autonomy to decide which public policies to implement and are responsible for …
Fast urban growth in emerging countries calls for deeper understanding about increasing interaction between formal and informal housing and allocation of space to each of them. As cities expand towards its fringes and get denser at these areas, the frontiers between these two markets get closer and closer, resulting in greater dispute for the remaining land plots and increasing real estat…

This project is concerned with the relationship between wages and cities. A recent literature has documented the existence of a dynamic component in the urban wage premium, i.e., workers in big cities experience faster wage growth. However, we do not understand exactly how this process operates within a city. Workers may benefit more than others over time by being employed in a neighborho…
Our research focuses on the relationship between real estate markets and evictions of informal settlements in cities. We investigate how poor enforcement of land property rights combined to rising real estate value can contribute to the use of alternative violent solutions, such as fires, in land property rights disputes. Based on the literature on evictions and on anecdotal evidence on t…
This project proposes a new methodology for both testing for imbalances and estimating the average treatment e¤ect parameter (ATE) controlling for the bias that might arise if within strata randomization was not properly performed. In that sense, our results are expected to facilitate the task of applied researchers that have become more involved with research designs. Finally, a great ad…
