A short(ish) thread 🧵

Incarceration causes dips in economic activity, but limited long-run impacts. Why? Most defendants’ challenges begin before they enter prison.

From @evankrose (@uchi_economics), @andy_garin, @dkoust, @sambnorris, @Jeff_Weaver_, Carl McPherson, Matthew Pecenco, & Yotam Shem-Tov.

My awesome student @kyung_clara’s paper is a fascinating look at the benefits and (somewhat unanticipated) costs of accountability systems targeting students’ long-run outcomes. Check it out!

[UChicago Economics @UChi_Economics]

@kyung_clara works in labor and education. In her JMP, she studies the impacts of a reform that introduced financial bonuses for school districts based on graduates' outcomes. Learn more at https://t.co/h3m41zjP1K.

Check out my all-star student Haruka's excellent work on the effects of blind review! @haruka__uchida

[UChicago Economics @UChi_Economics]

@haruka__uchida studies labor & education. Her JMP runs 2 field experiments to measure & disentangle forms of discrimination. She finds that hiding applicant names changes representation without reducing quality.

Great talking about an important topic on a podcast I've long enjoyed and learned a lot from! Thanks to Jen for hosting me.

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

You guys! Our hiatus is over! I'm excited to bring you this interview w @evankrose, about the costs & benefits of using incarceration as a consequence for breaking probation rules. He measures the effect of a NC reform that ended such revocations. Important policy implications!

[Evan Rose @evankrose]

Stepping back, because most defendants are so disadvantaged, you can think of LFOs as a very regressive transfer to the average taxpayer.

We view their extensive use as yet more evidence of the low welfare weights society places on people who interact with the justice system.

[Evan Rose @evankrose]

A conviction typically comes with hundreds of dollars in fines and fees. A lot of recent work (e.g. https://t.co/otXZagIFOv) has questioned what this practice achieves.

New paper with @sambnorris looks at when lowering fees would be unambiguously better for everyone.

🧵

[NBER @nberpubs]

Decreasing criminal justice fees and fines benefits both the most disadvantaged defendants and local governments, from @sambnorris and @evankrose https://t.co/aJKlHcm1IJ

[Evan Rose @evankrose]

Our takeaway: LFOs are high mostly because they raise more revenue that way.

Reducing them would have fiscal costs, although more careful personalization could both increase revenue and decrease the burden on defendants.
