  • Bolstering Community Ties and Its Effect on Crime
    Bolstering community ties and its effect on crime: Evidence from a quasi-random experiment Magdalena Dom´ınguez and Daniel Montolio∗ Work in progress - Do not cite without permission This version: February 2019 Abstract In this paper we study the effect of bolstering community ties on local crime rates. To do so, we take advantage of the quasi-random nature of the implementation of a community health policy in the city of Barcelona. Salut als Barris (BSaB) is a policy that through community-based initiatives and empowerment of citizenship aims at improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Based on economic and sociological literature it is also arguable that it may affect other relevant variables for overall welfare, such as crime rates. In order to test such a hypothesis, we use monthly data at the neighborhood level and a staggered Differences-in-Differences approach. Overall we find that BSaB highly reduces crimes related to non-cognitive features as well as those where there is a very close personal link (labeled as home crimes), with responses ranging from 9% to 18%. Additionally, female victimization rates drop for all age groups as well as the offense rates of younger cohorts. We argue that such outcomes are due to stronger community ties. Such results provide evidence in favor of non-traditional crime preventing policies. Keywords: crime; community action; differences-in-differences. JEL codes: C23, I18, I28, J18. ∗Dept. of Economics, University of Barcelona and IEB: [email protected] ; [email protected] We are grateful to Elia Diez and Maribel Pasarin at the Barcelona Public Health Agency (ASPB) and IGOP researchers Raquel Gallego and Ernesto Morales at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for their insightful comments on the program.

Curso: 2017-2018 Barrios del extrarradio en transformación. Ciclo de vida y renovación sociodemográfica: el caso de Montbau en Barcelona RESUMEN El siguiente trabajo analiza la dinámica sociodemográfica de la población del barrio de Montbau en la ciudad de Barcelona con el objetivo de estudiar las dinámicas residenciales que están comportando un rejuvenecimiento de la población en un área altamente envejecida. Se realiza un análisis metodológico mixto (cualitativo y cuantitativo), que contempla la evolución reciente de diversas variables sociodemográficas, así como los testimonios de residentes en el barrio. Ambas perspectivas pretenden aportar una visión de conjunto de los cambios observados y una aproximación futura de la evolución demográfica y urbana de Montbau. El análisis contempla la utilización de diferentes fuentes estadísticas y estudia la evolución de la población y los efectos que tienen sobre la misma los flujos residenciales y migratorios. Las entrevistas a los vecinos permiten conocer especialmente las dinámicas de transmisión intergeneracional de la vivienda. El contexto actual del mercado inmobiliario barcelonés, cada vez más selectivo y excluyente, podría estar potenciando la transformación del perfil sociodemográfico del barrio: aumenta el atractivo para la clase media y disminuye el peso (la presencia) de la clase trabajadora.

Impulsat pel Districte d’Horta-Guinardó i Barcelona Activa, el pla compta amb la implicació, participació i aportació de les diferents àrees de l’Ajuntament dedicades a la promoció socioeconòmica així com de les entitats i serveis del territori vinculades. Al llarg d’aquests anys, volem estar al costat de les persones del Districte que busquen feina o pateixen situacions de vulnerabilitat de drets laborals. Per això, aproparem al territori els serveis d’ocupació, oferint-los a Ca n’Andalet i al Mas Guinardó. Estem treballant, també, en nous protocols que ens permetin connectar ofertes amb demandes de contractació de persones dins el mateix territori. En relació amb la creació d’activitat econòmica, un dels principals projectes serà el nou espai de cotreball amb retorn social al barri de la Clota. D’igual manera, impulsarem estudis de viabilitat econòmica de models de negoci i continuarem amb les convocatòries de subvencions a l’activitat socioeconòmica amb impacte territorial i les d’Economia Social i Solidària, recentment engegades i que han suposat més de 130.000€ per a projectes d’aquestes característiques a Horta-Guinardó el 2017.

  • Neighborhoods, Perceived Inequality, and Preferences for Redistribution: Evidence from Barcelona∗
    Neighborhoods, Perceived Inequality, and Preferences for Redistribution: Evidence from Barcelona∗ JOB MARKET PAPER Gerard Domènech-Arumí† First Version: October 2020 This Version: April 2, 2021 Click here for the most recent version Abstract I study the effects of neighborhoods on perceived inequality and preferences for redistri- bution. Using administrative data on the universe of dwellings and real estate transactions in Barcelona (Spain), I first construct a novel measure of local inequality — the Local Neigh- borhood Gini (LNG). The LNG is based on the spatial distribution of housing within a city, independent of administrative boundaries, and building-specific. I then elicit inequality per- ceptions and preferences for redistribution from an original large-scale survey conducted in Barcelona. I link those to respondents’ specific LNG and local environments using exact ad- dresses, observed in the survey. Finally, I identify the causal effects of neighborhoods using two different approaches. The first is an outside-the-survey quasi-experiment that exploits within-neighborhood variation in respondents’ recent exposure to new apartment buildings. The second is a within-survey experiment that induces variation in respondents’ information set about inequality across neighborhoods. I find that local environments significantly influence inequality perceptions but only mildly affect demand for redistribution. Keywords: Inequality, Gini, Redistribution, Housing JEL Codes: D31, D63, O18 ∗I want to especially thank my main PhD advisor, Daniele Paserman,

    BUILDING INCLUSIVE CITIES: AGENDA FOR BARCELONA AND CHICAGO TERRITORIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC STRUCTURES IN BARCELONA Cristina López Villanueva Departament de Sociologia Facultat Economia i Empresa Universitat de Barcelona Introduction and aims Introduction • The unequal territorial distribution of income in large cities has been measured extensively. • Beyond this strictly economic dimension, inequality can be measured in terms of labour, educational and residential environments. • However the unequal territorial distribution of demographic structures and its impact has been under-researched. Age, gender and national origin are three major axes of social inequality. Structure • The first part offers a view of the residential specialization in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region, distinguishes between urban centers and residential suburbs. • The second part shows the differences by age, origin and household structures between Barcelona neighborhoods and within them. Aim To contribute to the debate on implications of spatial differentiated demographic structures in large cities, especially in Barcelona neighborhoods, and on the implications of the differences between them.
