Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.

From Better Neighborhoods to Better Futures: Tax Credits and Intergenerational Opportunity 1: rutgers university, United States of America; 2: US Census Bureau Abundant research shows that higher family income improves children’s short- and long-run outcomes, but evidence from some transfer-based income experiments raises questions about whether these gains arise from earnings or transfer income. This paper revisits that question using the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)—a large transfer that raises after-tax income for millions of low-income families—and more than 30 years of linked administrative data covering over 15 million individuals. Higher childhood EITC exposure improves adult outcomes: exposed children have higher earnings and employment, lower poverty, better neighborhood quality, and reduced mortality. Decomposing these long-run effects shows an important pathway operates through improved neighborhood quality, as the EITC increases moves to higher-opportunity Census tracts. Effects are largest for children of unmarried and younger parents but remain substantial for children of always-married parents, demonstrating that transfer income itself—beyond parental employment—plays a powerful causal role in shaping long-run well-being.
