- 2006 [Brown University]: Poverty in America finds that a rising tide does not raise all ships. Although real GDP continues to rise, the US poverty rate has remained relatively constant, signaling a growing discord between poverty and the macro-economy. In spite of this drift, data from CPS (Current Population Survey) indicates that changes in labor market opportunities and family structure effectively forecasts changes in the poverty rate but that immigration and anti-poverty government programs (both previously reasoned to be integral factories) seem to have little effect in the rate.
- Poverty and Inequality in the United States: What's Been Happening? March 25, 2009
- 2008 [Ideas in Development]: Don't get your hopes up - this is not the definitive article. It's actually a series of book reviews that have been cobbled together. In sifting through these works, I have been selective, if not arbitrary in what I will discuss. And I must warn you that not all these works are hot-off-the-press. They were lying around and I just got a hankering to read them in whole or part during the past month.

- Assessing the New Federalism: National Survey of America's Families: Findings Available March 24, 2009
