Hie current work centers on the role of housing and housing policy in exacerbating racial and socioeconomic inequalities, with three main areas of focus: 1) the causes and consequences of residential growth controls, 2) the unequal effects of the tax treatment of homeownership, and 3) the effect of rising house prices on wealth inequality. Methodologically, Joe uses statistical methods and simulations to analyze survey and administrative data. His has been published in leading sociology journals including the American Sociological Review, Social Forces, and Social Problems.
