In our new paper with @fpgrafherzog, we look into that. A 🧵 (1/7)

Andrea La Nauze, Liam Falconer and I study @ThePurpleAir network in new research. Wildfire pollution increases air monitoring especially in wealthy areas. This suggests a role for public policy to improve monitoring in areas with strong environmental justice concerns.

Human death increased by >4% in vulture-suitable districts after vultures nearly went extinct. Research suggests affected regions also experienced an increase in feral dog populations & rabies, & diminished water quality.

Reminder: Using log(x+1) or arcsinh(x) is never coherent, and you probably want Poisson regression instead

This paper changed what I do and teach, and it's the rare econometrics paper that's actually clear and accessible. All applied social science researchers should read it!

We introduce generative regulatory measurement: a new method to use LLMs to parse the underlying meaning of regulatory texts

We use AI to figure out what zoning and housing regulations are, and connect them to outcomes
