@_austrian @analisapackham Hi @_austrian Analisa was carrying very precious cargo. She packed her bags at night, pre-flight and it included important stuff that belongs to a VIP and rocket man is angry and might have to cancel his next gig. Please help.

Also you can BE the organizer at the conference! If nothing is happening then just shout “meet at the bar at 5pm” or wherever, send everyone an email. Everyone is always looking for places to go or to know what others are doing. If there are no plans YOU can make it happen!

Importantly, in these sessions people will often announce happy hours/dinners. GO TO THESE THINGS if you can. Find the group extrovert (there’s always one—if you’re ever in one of mine, find me). This person will introduce you to people/chat your ear off. /11

@jenniferdoleac True story 🤣🤣

[Amanda Agan @AmandaYAgan]

@pedrohcgs On the @ProbCausation website they break down episodes by estimation strategy (see under topics) might be a good start? (@jenniferdoleac)

@jondr44 @deaneckles @emilycleslie Ah whoops - didn’t realize! Guess you’re stuck with mine 🤣

Really appreciated this thoughtful and expansive review of Shadows of Doubt by @AmandaYAgan, much more than a review really, covers a lot of interesting ground

I hope you find it useful (though it was completed a while ago, so apologies for recent relevant papers that are not included). Thanks @sndurlauf for the opportunity to write it!

My review article "Racial Disparities in the Criminal Legal System: Shadows of Doubt and Beyond" is finally out in the JEL! This article was a real labor of love. A mixture of broad overview and review of the thought-provoking book by Brendan O'Flaherty & @rajivatbarnard

[HCEO @hceconomics]

HCEO member @AmandaYAgan and colleagues find consistent evidence that removing a criminal offense from records does not improve labor market outcomes. Gig work through online platforms is an exception.

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

This super thorough paper uses multiple natural experiments + incredible administrative data to measure how sealing criminal records affects employment (FCRA rules and Clean Slate policies). Punchline: if you care about this issue, it's probably time to look for other options.

[Matt Cravens @mattcravens]

Listen to this excellent @ProbCausation podcast episode with @AmandaYAgan and host @jenniferdoleac. Fascinating results! https://t.co/ixA7pEoJ5y
