Hard to express the rage I feel when I open my undergraduate lecture slides and see this every time in @Adobe

I wrote a book!
Weak State, Strong Community is out soon with @CUP_PoliSci.
It's about lynching in Latin America, but really it's about a bigger question: how do states and communities limit or enable violence?

Happy about retweets!
This is a long show, but I've never really seen a discussion and conclusion as one section in an econ paper. Does anyone have examples of papers that have done a good job with it? #econtwitter
Photos from last night's short hike at Sabino Canyon. The monsoons have brought a lot of rain, so there's been an abundance of cute frogs to check out!

India has a quite low female labor force participation rate. One plausible explanation is spousal jealousy — husbands really don’t like their wives working with a male. Women are 31% more likely to work a job when the workplace only had women! 1/

Fun to see one of the books I copyedited for @mitpress getting some attention! Morbid: Debunking Modern Longevity Science by Saul Justin Newman
Though Morbid takes a mostly lighthearted approach to its takedown of longevity science, scientist and self-described “cheeky scamp” Saul Justin Newman makes clear that there is certainly something sinister afoot.

Excelllent paper by @benconomics and colleagues that helps reconcile/make sense of previous papers with conflicting results.
Yet another paper finds that decriminalizing drug possession in Washington and Oregon caused an increase in overdose deaths.
"Synthetic-control estimates show that both decriminalization regimes sharply reduced drug arrests and were followed by sustained increases in overdose mortality relative to matched counterfactuals. The estimates imply approximately 1,186 excess deaths in Oregon and 1,895 in Washington from 2021 through 2023. We also revisit the role of fentanyl supply shocks. A fentanyl-share control may partly capture enforcement-driven declines in non-fentanyl NFLIS reports, while alternative fentanyl measures leave positive overdose effects."
