A fantastic paper by my amazing friend Jorge 👇

[Jorge Garcia Hombrados @jorgeghombrados]

This paper has been in my head for years. From my time at 3ie and JPAL, wondering why the evidence we produce as researchers so often fails to translate into policy, and what role ideology plays. Very happy to see it now published in the @AEAjournals. Let me tell you the story 🧵

“Right-to-Buy” gave tenants of council houses the chance to own their home. The policy has been criticised for increasing inequality in the housing market, but did it help to reduce educational inequalities? - @RichardDisney and @McmSandi

Why on earth should the European union be willing to accept, as it seems ready to do, the 15% tariff? Are we really so weak that this is the best we can hope for?

🚨New paper on a neglected topic: women in jail.
In most countries, women are held in female sections of male prisons or in women-only prisons.
Using data from Italy and quasi-random assignment, we find women-only prisons cut recidivism by up to 16pp.
