SUMMARY:The Importance of Home Equity in Wealth Building
DESCRIPTION:Owning a home is an important wealth-building tool. When a home’s value appreciates\, the equity that accrues can serve as a valuable resource for emergency expenses\, essential home repairs\, or income-enhancing investments like education or training. \n\n\n\nFor many Americans\, their home is their largest asset. Roughly 65 percent of households in the United States own their homes\, and housing continues to represent the largest share of household wealth. Yet research shows there are significant differences in how homeowners leverage their home equity. A Philadelphia Fed study revealed that wealth-building pathways through homeownership vary significantly by household and neighborhood. A key finding was that residents’ experiences with refinancing mortgages and debt varied widely. \n\n\n\nIn support of the Philadelphia Fed’s goal of promoting a sound financial system and a strong\, healthy economy\, this event aims to examine wealth building in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities through the lens of home equity.  \n\n\n\nWhy Attend?\n\n\n\nJoin speakers\, panelists\, and your peers to examine the importance of home equity in wealth building\, explore a data-driven approach to identifying households vulnerable to the loss of home equity\, and advance solutions that preserve and protect home equity in LMI communities. \n\n\n\nPresentations will include “The Role of Home Equity in Wealth Building” and “Using Data to Prevent the Loss of Home Equity in New York City.” Panelists will also explore the importance of financial products and services that allow LMI homeowners to safely access home equity\, specifically in times of financial vulnerability. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will include: \n\n\n\n\n\nKen Benton\, Principal Consumer Regulations Specialist\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia;\n\n\n\nChristopher Cummins\, Staff Attorney\, Homeownership Rights\, SeniorLAW Center;\n\n\n\nMatthew Murphy\, Executive Director\, NYU Furman Center; \n\n\n\nSamantha Porter\, Senior Advisor\, Community Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia;\n\n\n\nMaureen Yap\, Vice President of Public Policy and Senior Counsel for Fair Lending\, National Fair Housing Alliance; and\n\n\n\nSisi Zhang\, Community Development Economic Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. \n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\n\n\n\nProfessionals working in the housing and financial services sectors\, funders and nonprofits serving LMI communities\, and policymakers in the Third District are encouraged to attend.  \n\n\n\nThis event is complimentary\, but registration is required. Space is limited\, so reserve your spot now. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:2025 Institute Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute’s annual research conference showcases the range of frontier-style research that the Institute engages with and supports. Presenters\, discussants\, and attendees will engage in a broad scholarly exchange of ideas around presented papers. \n\n\n\nThe keynote speaker will be David Card\, the Class of 1950 Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and the 2021 winner of the Nobel prize in economics. Card pioneered the use of natural experiments to identify and measure causal effects. Much of his research has focused on the labor market effects of education\, immigration\, and minimum wages. Card has described his research as seeking to “understand why some people succeed and others fail\, and how their success or failure is related to the environment\, institutions and the people themselves.” Card was also the 1995 recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal\, the top honor for economists under 40. He served as president of the American Economic Association in 2021. \n\n\n\nAn Early Career Researchers’ Workshop will follow on November 14. That event\, which is by invitation\, focuses on developing research of scholars who have completed their Ph.D. in the last eight years (from 2017 to 2024). \n\n\n\nThe conference organizer is Amanda Michaud\, and this year’s program committee members are Taha Choukhmane\, Stephie Fried\, Daniel Hartley\, Amanda Michaud\, Serdar Ozkan\, Kosali Simon\, and Abigail Wozniak. \n\n\n\nThe program and photos from last year’s conference can be found here. \n\n\n\nThis registration is for the livestream only. For inquiries about in-person registration\, please email MplsInstitute@mpls.frb.org. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event.
