Gregor Schubert joined the UCLA Anderson School of Management faculty in 2021. He researches housing finance, urban economics, real estate, labor economics, and corporate finance, focusing on how urban migration networks affect housing markets. Schubert’s latest research considers the variation in house price growth during national boom and bust cycles, arguing that systematic differences in the degree to which geographic housing markets are affected by common economic shocks can explain the patterns of migration in U.S. metropolitan areas. His analysis and quantification of data reveal the cross-sectional variation in house price growth in U.S. metros that puzzled researchers in recent boom and bust cycles. His research co-authored presents a novel way to think about how workers’ labor markets estimate the causal effect of employer concentration on wages, suggesting that while employers can be concentrated in small areas, the ability of workers to move occupations is crucial for predicting wage changes.
