Borsen (Denmark) featured Assistant Professor Elizabeth Currid and her research on artists' economic contribution to urban areas. In her book "The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art and Music Drive New York City," Currid warns that the rising cost of living in New York is driving out artists who are essential to the city. If new waves of young artists can't afford to move to the city, in a few decades it won't be the culturally interesting place it is now, Currid said. A second Borsen (Denmark) story also featured Currid's work.
