@MPTeodoro Yeah but the only difference I'm the one sitting upfront instead of pulling ��

🚨Job market paper thread! 🚨

Using an RD design and admin TX data, I estimate the effects of college transfers. I find negative earnings returns for marginal students who transfer from 2-yr to 4-yr colleges or 4-yr nonflagship to flagship college.

Excited to present my poster on the impact of municipal underbounding on water access in Texas ETJs at #ACSP2023 tonight at 7pm in the Empire Ballroom at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago! Learn how race, ethnicity, and municipal health influence access to water in these areas.

Science and evidence alone do not drive policymaking. That's why we have to pair science with a deep understanding of policy and politics. This new book offers easy-to-understand guidance to make a positive impact on health outcomes and health equity through policy.

[Water Finance Assistance @h2oFinance]

Small & disadvantaged communities prefer grants for
#water #infrastructure projects, but that isn't always possible, and revolving loans stretch dollars much further to meet our country's needs. @USDA's new One Percent Loan program recognizes that dynamic

Another reminder that policy is all about implementation!

🚨🚨🚨New @AWRAHQ journal study led by Ariana Hernandez (@ahern98) & me:

Where we had the crazy idea that updating a post-1990 understanding of who & where in the U.S. relies on (off regulated grid) private wells and septics might prove valuable.

Is there something better we could do than SNAP to address water affordability issues? @IRP_UW

[Manny Teodoro @MPTeodoro]

A simple change to the Farm Bill could make water utilities eligible for payment through SNAP.

SNAP already pays for billions in bottled water; my @newsweek OpEd argues for using that efficient, wide-reaching federal program to pay for tap water, too.

[Manny Teodoro @MPTeodoro]

First, do no harm

Utility assistance programs must be efficient to be equitable. Each dollar spent on administration means higher bills for low-income customers who don’t participate, without any corresponding benefit.
