Exclusive Interview with Raj Chetty
At Robin Hood’s No City Limits: Reimagining the Poverty Fight 2019 conference in Manhattan, we spoke with Raj Chetty, professor of economics at Harvard University and director of Opportunity Insights, a research group that uses big data to understand economic mobility in the United States. Chetty spoke about the importance of place-based investments to address the fading American Dream and the sharp differences in children’s ability to climb the income ladder depending on where they grow up.
