Having grown up “del otro lado de la calzada”… I find this paper particularly fascinating! Check out Billy’s work! He’s on the econ job market!
I had a great time (and a very special birthday! 🎂) at @NEUDC_2026
So great to see so many amazing JMPs and so much exciting work in development economics 🙌🏾
For a summary of my JMP, see the thread below 👇🏾
In the last part of the #Behavioural morning session at #NEUDC2026, Cornell University, @billywoom is presenting his research on “On the Other Side of the Creek: Historical exclusion, localized social capital, and human capital” with @mennaanayel as discussant.

Excluded groups and neighborhoods get less schooling for generations. Can human capital gaps outlive resource equalization? If so, why?
My JMP looks for answers on the two sides of a line drawn in 1542, with historical censuses, a survey & experiment, and a framework 🧵
#JOBMARKET (24/26)
Meet @billywoom, an EJME and JOE Network candidate presented by the Paris School of Economics on the international Job Market.

Historical exclusion may persist through the ties that helped excluded households cope, not only through the resources it denied them.

I use a framework where schooling limits the ability to reciprocate with neighbors, delays earnings, and raises the chance of moving away.
Under its assumptions, the survey and experiment imply a cost of ~2/5 of the perceived return, enough to generate the attendance gap.
Historical exclusion may persist through the ties that helped excluded households cope, not only through the resources it denied them.
