We are excited to announce that Opportunity Insights is hosting a conference to discuss early-stage research broadly related to economic opportunity. Professor Edward Glaeser will deliver the keynote address on the role of cities and neighborhoods in shaping economic opportunity. The determinants of economic opportunity and intergenerational mobility cut across many areas within economics and our goal is to bring together scholars with different perspectives on these issues.
