Glad to see our paper with @tomer_stern,
"Women's Participation in the Arab Spring Protests and the Prevalence of Domestic Violence: Evidence From Egypt,"
came out in a special issue on VAW, Conflicts, and Disasters @FeministEcon:

shouting out https://t.co/LrYa0W2sJD, a service that is *very good* at getting data from table images, PDF screenshots etc.. Have tried many services like this (incl GPT) and they've all been more error-prone. Also very cheap (2 free a day, or like $2 for 50 tables, no sub fee)
Excited to learn that my and @EconHsu's paper on unemployment insurance generosity and intimate partner violence was just conditionally accepted at the Review of Economics of the Household #REHO. Below is a short thread describing the results. 1/6
Rebecca Hsu (@EconHsu) will use eviction filing data from @LSCtweets to estimate the impact of implementing state-level eviction moratoria on eviction filings for renters of different races.

Announcement and invitation! A new project that aims to improve the quality of research in applied microeconomics by examining researcher choices. I am hoping to recruit up to *200 researchers* of all kinds (with pay) and hope you will join me! (Thread) https://t.co/XAOflRxoBf
We also find a substantial decrease in homicides. Even though we can (at best) estimate only very short run effects with this method, we still find that these effects pay for a substantial portion of increased UI payments. 5/5
We estimate that overall violent and property crime dropped roughly 20% due to FPUC's implementation, and this may be a lower bound estimate due to issues of anticipation. (Yes, we avoid TWFE and use a modern estimator, specifically BJS 2021.) 4/5
States took different amounts of time to implement this policy, which allows us to use a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) design to see how it affected reports of crime in major cities with open police data. 3/5
The CARES Act was signed into law in late March of 2020, and part of that was the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program that added $600/week in UI compensation. 2/5
I'm happy to announce a recent publication with @EconHsu accepted earlier this summer in the Journal of Economic Studies entitled "CARES and Crime" https://t.co/XuNxz0X1tS 1/5
The researchers used mobile device tracking data to verify that people were at home all day. Dr. Alex Henke - @Henkenomics then crossed that information with local police reports of domestic violence

I have a new paper out in the Journal of Econometric Methods: Linear Rescaling to Accurately Interpret Logarithms
Do you use logarithms in statistical analysis? And interpret them as proportional increases?
Are they *natural* logarithms? If so... why?

📢📢 Still a few more hours to finish your applications! 📢📢
Looking forward to a great cohort of American Economic Association Summer Training Program Scholars 🤗 Summer 2022 https://t.co/zUFRdHIuoN
