Sara | Bronin | City and Regional Planning | A Historic Preservation Local Law Census: Where and Why | People interact with preservation law predominantly at the local level, through historic commissions that opine on proposed rehab projects. Yet there is neither a census of local governments that regulate historic places, nor any scholarship that ties adoption to demographic characteristics, political inclinations, and state enabling authority features. My research will identify where historic districts have been adopted and explore how rates of adoption change from state to state depending on various independent variables. |

Wesley | Sine | Johnson Graduate School of Management | Effect of neighborhood stigma on entrepreneurship | Stigma has been shown to have a large negative impact on firms. However, research has focused on stigma from individual, firm, or category-level characteristics. While stigma created by the geographic location of the firm has been largely ignored, even though this stigma is widespread. In this study, the authors attempt to demonstrate how the location of a firm, when stigmatized, can impact the firm's ability to acquire capital. |
