2023 WINNER
We are delighted to announce that the 2023 Paper of the Year was awarded to Craig Evan Pollack, Debra G. Bozzi, Amanda L. Blackford, Stefanie DeLuca, Rachel L. J. Thornton, and Bradley Herring for their paper entitled:
"Using the Moving to Opportunity Experiment to Investigate the Long-Term Impact of Neighborhoods on Healthcare Use by Specific Clinical Conditions and Type of Service".
This paper was published in 2023, Volume 33, Issue 1, and was an outstanding contribution to the Journal. The Moving to Opportunity experiment was an expensive undertaking meant to guide policy on rental assistance delivery. The results of the experiment have been debated over the years and continue to have relevance. This paper joins the Moving to Opportunity experimental results with the debate over healthcare use, another issue driving much of the debate on how to design the social safety net. The authors addressed a cutting-edge topic, employed careful methods, and provided clear and powerful implications for housing policy.
