Prisons are overcrowded in Scotland, rUK and across much of the world. Our new research shows that supervising offenders in the community DOES help them stop reoffending. Thread on our findings below👇

[Markus Gehrsitz @MGehrsitz]

🚨New Paper: 🚨Reoffending rates are sky-high across the developed world. Many interventions fail.
But our new research suggests one policy does work: supervising ex-prisoners after release cuts reoffending substantially — and the benefits outweigh the costs by at least 2:1!

I'm teaching a "data science for economists" course this semester.

If you're interested in learning more about #rstats, Git(Hub), programming, databases, cloud computation, ML, etc., I'll be making all of my course material publicly available here: https://t.co/ApJo7Nuo7d

🦶🦶🚨New DiD Paper🚨🦶🦶

What if treatment is continuous not binary? What parameters can you estimate under what assumptions? What about two-way fixed effects regressions? What about staggered timing?

Brant Callaway, @agoodmanbacon and I dive in here:

[Nick HK @nickchk]

It's fully-featured and ready to go! The did Stata package allows Stata access to the Callaway and @pedrohcgs R package "did" for estimating difference-in-differences with staggered treatment and covariates. Check it out, and installation instructions, at https://t.co/Syr9Frx9OM

@RealBobManning He was so fun to watch, but you always feared what was going to come out of his mouth post game.

[Sam Grant @sam_grant08]

@RealBobManning With all this player turnover in the league, things can get better just as fast as they went south. You never know which unhappy superstar is around the corner for the Cs to grab.

@RealBobManning He knocks something up every game but seems to shake them off, thankfully

[Sam Grant @sam_grant08]

Couldn't agree more.

[Sam Grant @sam_grant08]

@RealBobManning That shot has been there everytime! I don't think he has the stamina to carry them offensively and do anything else but stay in the paint on the other end.
