Awesome paper by some of my favorite people in the biz. This is a very careful and evenhanded analysis of the effects of combat deployments.

Now in @JPolEcon. Combat deployments increase injuries and combat deaths, but have little effect on suicide, credit, incarceration, or education. Deployments do not explain recent surges in veterans’ noncombat deaths or disability compensation: doi.org/10.1086/729450

We are super off-cycle (due to unexpected departures), but we have two TT lines that just got approved/posted! Each position requires a research focus related to agriculture/natural resources. Hit me up if you have questions! We're planning to move fast.
