So happy to see in print!🧵Main q: how does adjusting the size of local gov't units affect service delivery? Ex-ante, not obvious! Smaller population=easier to cater to local prefs, monitor leaders, etc but may be more susceptible to elite capture, miss out on econ of scale, etc

I was curious about how “top 5” pubs are distributed across US econ depts so scraped some data for the last 10 years (but note data caveats below). Thought others might also be interested- some was expected, some surprises. Fuller data- docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Excited to see in print! Reposting our old explainer thread. Mortality for those involved in the criminal-justice system is much higher than for the general population. Is that because incarceration causes poor health, or because this population faces so much disadvantage?

Mortality risk is lower while incarcerated, primarily due to lower risk of overdose or murder. In the July issue, by Sam Norris (@sambnorris), Matt Pecenco (@mattpecenco) and Jeff Weaver (Jeff_Weaver_) zurl.co/RvdE

This is the key figure, plotting survival likelihood by year since sentencing across these groups. The incarcerated are *less* likely to die in the years after sentencing than the non-incarcerated, and the longer the sentence, the higher the likelihood of survival.

Thanks @jenniferdoleac for the chance to talk about some of the ongoing research on parental incarceration, including our paper (with @sambnorris & Matt Pecenco)... tbd whether I'll be able to listen to myself talk for an hour without wincing myself into oblivion.

To JMCs stressing about the lack of JOE postings, we only got hiring authorization in the last week, so other schools may similarly be late in posting ads 🤞. Good luck, and let me know if you have good candidates we should be looking at!
