Smith co-presented a paper coauthored by Kwan Ok Lee (School of Design and Environment - National University of Singapore), and George Galster (Urban Planning - Wayne State University) at the London School of Economics, which hosted the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management International Conference on Inequalities. The paper, “Subsidized Housing and Residential Trajectories: An Application of Sequence Analysis,” demonstrated how low-income families in subsidized housing had similar neighborhood trajectories over a 20 year period as those who formed households in the private market after matching on household characteristics.
