Our paper on clusters of schools across the UK is out.
We find five clusters: multi-racial & super-diverse middle & working-class schools of towns & cities, suburban white middle class schools, established elite schools & (post-)industrial white working class schools.

New study on elite tax migration. Using IRS data, we show that while tax rates matter, embeddedness matters more. Millionaires don’t flee high-tax states unless their networks are disrupted. Embeddedness > incentives. States can still tax the rich. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
