🚨Thrilled to share our new paper "Causal Claims in Economics"! 🚨

UNC Public Policy's @SteveHemelt and Ph.D. Alum @JohnConz were featured in WSJ Article. The article discussed students' recent shift to attending southern universities and used the two’s work to discuss the potential economic impact this shift could have. https://t.co/z8d4UhXl4p
Very nice article in Washington Monthly about the return on investment to regional universities that draws on my research with @kevin_stange, @SteveHemelt, @andrewrsimon, and @JohnConz. https://t.co/AQvym1wbj0 1/5
