This dissertation comprises two pivotal chapters investigating distinct urban and regional dynamics. The first chapter probes the nexus between gentrification and criminal conduct in urban neighborhoods. A groundbreaking approach melds geo-referenced crime records and Census data to pinpoint gentrified locales during the 2010s. Employing advanced event study models, the research scrutinizes the influence of gentrification on crime rates, accounting for temporal variations across cities and neighborhoods. Findings divulge a statistically significant surge in crimes, particularly property offenses, implying a potential criminalizing impact of gentrification. This accentuates the urgency for heightened policy deliberations among urban planners and scholars. The second chapter delves into post-disaster aftermath, particularly the ramifications of natural catastrophes, on local employment and employee preferences. Rigorous analysis of commuting patterns post-tornado occurrences (2002-2019) employs the LODES dataset. Results illuminate a discernible upswing in commuter ratios within tornado-affected areas, largely driven by young, high-earning service sector workers. Furthermore, considering the political alignment of governors and presidents uncovers the role of politics in post-disaster dynamics. States with congruent leadership witness distinctive shifts in commuting proportions, underscoring the influence of political forces on post-disaster policies and relief strategies. This underscores the significance of efficacious post-disaster approaches and aid in mitigating natural catastrophe-induced adversities on the local labor landscape.
Questa tesi comprende due capitoli che indagano distinte dinamiche urbane. Il primo capitolo esamina il nesso tra gentrificazione e comportamento criminale in quartieri urbani. Un approccio innovativo fonde dati di reati georeferenziati con dati censuari per individuare le località gentrificate negli anni 2010. Utilizzando modelli avanzati di event study, la ricerca analizza l'influenza della gentrificazione sui tassi di criminalità, considerando le variazioni temporali tra città e quartieri. I risultati rivelano un aumento statisticamente significativo dei reati, in particolare dei reati contro la proprietà, implicando un possibile impatto criminalizzante della gentrificazione. Ciò sottolinea l'urgenza di un maggiore dibattito politico tra urbanisti e studiosi. Il secondo capitolo si addentra nelle conseguenze post-disastro, in particolare sugli effetti delle catastrofi naturali sull'occupazione locale e sulle preferenze dei dipendenti. Un'analisi rigorosa dei modelli di pendolarismo dopo le occorrenze di tornado (2002-2019) utilizza il dataset LODES. I risultati evidenziano un chiaro aumento delle proporzioni di pendolari nelle aree colpite dai tornado, guidato in gran parte da giovani lavoratori del settore dei servizi con alti guadagni. Inoltre, considerando l'allineamento politico dei governatori e dei presidenti, emerge il ruolo della politica nelle dinamiche post-disastro. Gli Stati con leadership congruente osservano spostamenti distinti nelle proporzioni di pendolari, sottolineando l'influenza delle forze politiche sulle politiche post-disastro e sulle strategie di soccorso. Questo sottolinea l'importanza di approcci post-disastro efficaci e di aiuti nel mitigare le avversità causate dalle catastrofi naturali sul panorama lavorativo locale.

Abstract
This dissertation comprises two pivotal chapters investigating distinct urban and regional dynamics. The first chapter probes the nexus between gentrification and criminal conduct in urban neighborhoods. A groundbreaking approach melds geo-referenced crime records and Census data to pinpoint gentrified locales during the 2010s. Employing advanced event study models, the research scrutinizes the influence of gentrification on crime rates, accounting for temporal variations across cities and neighborhoods. Findings divulge a statistically significant surge in crimes, particularly property offenses, implying a potential criminalizing impact of gentrification.
