My job market paper proposes an approach to study spillover effects of local policies that propagate non-spatially through latent markets. While the approach is particularly relevant for place-based economic development, it can be adapted to other contexts. 

I exemplify the approach with a place-based policy and estimate spillover effects within latent housing markets. To characterize housing markets, I apply an approach in network theory to household moves. The empirical findings inform conclusions on overall effectiveness and redistribution that differ from analysis using only direct treatment effects.
