Media coverage
Wall Street Journal — “As Black-Owned Banks Steadily Fade Away, Investors Step In to Form One.” Cites “Let Us Put Our Moneys Together:” Minority-Owned Banks and Resilience to Crises (working paper with Berger, Feldman, and Roman) on the role of minority depository institutions during the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19.
Blog: Southbound 35
Southbound 35. Public finance, economic development, and applied analysis on the Texas corridor. Every post fits one of four pillars: public finance, economic development, econometric and statistical analysis, or program evaluation. The blog serves three purposes: as an outlet for short analyses too limited in scope for a full academic paper, as a way for the author to learn about subjects he is curious about, and as a venue for research that may be useful to people who study Texas communities and the state and local officials who govern them.
