Housing

Fall 2018 - Spring 2019. We are a group of academic researchers working on market design problems in affordable housing policy (e.g. affordable housing allocation, fair housing) using techniques from computer science, operations research, and economics.

Latin America and Caribbean

Concluded Spring 2022. Major themes include: migration (especially the Venezuelan diaspora), crime (with a focus on youth crime), and education (integrating/engaging at risk youth in educational systems).

Online Labor Markets

Fall 2018 - Spring 2020. We are a group of academic researchers seeking to apply techniques from mechanism design to problems found in online labor markets, including those related to matching mechanisms, inequality and information asymmetry, and hiring algorithms.

Equity and Justice for Indigenous Communities in the Americas

We bring together researchers, members of indigenous communities, activists, and community leaders to formulate policies, strategies, and programs that promote fairness, access to resources, and the protection of rights for Indigenous communities amongst other topics.
