Hector Blanco serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Rutgers University–New Brunswick and maintains a research affiliate position at NYU's Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy. He is scheduled for a visiting research appointment at CESifo (May 4–10, 2025) where he will collaborate with economist Luca Perdoni. His academic credentials include: PhD in Economics, MIT (2022) Master's in Economics, Barcelona School of Economics Dual Bachelor's degrees in Economics and Law, Universitat Pompeu Fabra Blanco's research program investigates how public housing policies reshape urban landscapes through rigorous causal analysis. His work demonstrates that mixed-income housing regenerations in London increased property values and neighborhood quality by diversifying resident income profiles while preserving public housing capacity. Current projects examine the enduring spatial impacts of America's racially segregated public housing initiatives, tracking segregation patterns across decades to quantify policy legacy effects on housing markets. Blanco's collaborative approach connects U.S. and European urban policy contexts through partnerships with institutions like CESifo and NYU's Furman Center. His methodological focus on isolating causal mechanisms in housing policy provides actionable insights for urban planners seeking equitable neighborhood development strategies that avoid displacement while improving community amenities.
