Just a few economists hanging out at the game.

Free research idea: Measure the impacts of RCV where it has been implemented, on the tone of the campaign, who runs, who wins, and (eventually) policy outcomes.

Grateful for the chance to present my research at #WEAI yesterday. Huge thanks to @KSchnepel for organizing so many great sessions, and to everyone who attended and shared valuable feedback!

I’m excited to share my research at #ASHEcon2024

"Since 1994, Congress has appropriated more than $20 billion for the Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] grant program.... Has this program made communities safer?" Why, yes it has! There's strong research showing this! Oddly, that's not what this op-ed says. 🙃 washingtoninformer.com/cop-p…

A quick life update: Today, I accepted an offer to work as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Missouri! I will work for @mikepesko researching tobacco policy and other health topics. I am incredibly blessed and thankful for this opportunity!

New research from @jonathan_tebes and Jeffrey Fagan makes the most compelling and stark case to date that "Stop and Frisk" was a disasterous policy without merit. Whether you previously "knew" that or not, it's still time to update your beliefs. economistwritingeveryday.com…

The next ViCE seminar is this Thursday, October 19, at 1pm ET. @KSchnepel will present: "Better Stealing than Dealing? The Effects of Changing Felony Theft Thresholds on Property Crime, Illicit Drug Distribution, and Opioid Use" More info: jenniferdoleac.com/vice-semi…

"Sinning in the Rain: Weather Shocks, Church Attendance and Crime." In the January 2023 issue, by Jonathan Morena-Medina. zurl.co/z9lQ

That’s a wrap! Enjoyed all the Econ of Ed sessions at #ASSA2023. Also, great to catch up with my pal @DavisEcon and spend the weekend sharing Ed and Crime ideas. Off to LA!
