Awesome paper by some of my favorite people in the biz. This is a very careful and evenhanded analysis of the effects of combat deployments.

[Kyle Greenberg @greenberg_k]

Now in @JPolEcon. Combat deployments increase injuries and combat deaths, but have little effect on suicide, credit, incarceration, or education. Deployments do not explain recent surges in veterans’ noncombat deaths or disability compensation: https://t.co/CVDY7Ypsap

@MegMorleyWalter I’m so sorry! We are in your parents’ congregation and both your mom and dad are such wonderful people. When your dad spoke up in our meetings, I could feel his kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassion. Such a good man.

🚨New working paper!🚨with states cutting higher-education budgets, students frequently don’t get into the courses they want. We find that shutouts have large long-run negative effects, particularly for female students.

Such a good group of people in a pretty incredible place! Anyone who fits the bill should seriously consider this job.

We are super off-cycle (due to unexpected departures), but we have two TT lines that just got approved/posted! Each position requires a research focus related to agriculture/natural resources. Hit me up if you have questions! We're planning to move fast.
