요약This dissertation examines how representational and regulatory shocks reshape economic and social outcomes. Each essay leverages a quasi-experimental design and newly assembled data to identify causal effects.The first chapter studies the 1933 redesign of London's Tube map as a city-wide information shock to perceived distance. Using a continuous-dose difference-in-differences design-with dose defined by the station-specific change in apparent proximity on the 1933 diagram relative to the 1932 map-and station, neighborhood, and listing-level data from 1927-1939, the chapter shows that areas visually pulled closer to central London experienced sizable real responses. Still-undeveloped catchments built substantially more housing, advertised house prices rose, and transport-related newspaper mentions increased.The second chapter analyzes the effect of Sunday blue-law repeals on religious participation and economic connectedness. Exploiting matched county pairs straddling state borders and the staggered timing of repeals, the chapter documents that ending Sunday closing laws reduces formal religious participation and lowers cross-class economic connectedness, with the largest effects in places with high baseline adherence. Event-study and spatially robust inference support identifying assumptions.The third chapter asks whether alarmist media coverage of a cultural shock can move short-run electoral outcomes. Using county-level newspaper coverage of the Beatles in 1963-1964 to measure local exposure to moral-panic framing, a first-difference design relates early alarmist coverage to subsequent changes in Democratic vote share. Counties with higher alarmist exposure saw lower Democratic performance in 1964, with patterns consistent with a transient backlash concentrated in the US South.Taken together, the essays show that maps, laws, and media can reallocate construction and prices, rewire social ties, and shift votes. By linking information design and institutional timing to spatial, social, and political equilibria, the dissertation highlights policy-relevant levers that operate through behavior and perception rather than physical infrastructure.
