New WP: I link individuals' property records to many forms of political behavior, incl. speaking at city council meetings. I find individuals become more active in local politics after becoming homeowners and focus on different issues than non-homeowners.

.@refocuspartners’ Shalini Vajjhala writes that recent inaction on infrastructure projects stems from a funding system that incentivizes state and local governments to wait rather than to take the lead on projects. https://t.co/QN0mb2tgTs

That carbon taxes are progressive even when ignoring use of revenue is an important result that should be spread wide on the Twittersphere. It echoes findings in an earlier paper of mine but with newer data and better tax modeling.

New York State gerrymandered a map to qualify Hudson Yards for $1.6 billion in financing meant for low-income areas—by threading it to public housing in Harlem. (@CityLab obtained the map info through FOIA.) https://t.co/DD5CkFBcUi

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

Yes, this is a no brainer from @Austan_Goolsbee that was proposed by the @BarackObama admin early in the first term. In many countries tax return is done by text message. Why not here? Ask Congress. Don't let tax prep firms set policy.

Very excited to check out the recent features in the stars package. Great work @edzerpebesma and company!

Surprised and happy to discover it is UK Government policy to prefer open source software over alternatives. Guidance here is great: https://t.co/ZIsxmoQARR

EU's position on open source is also strong: https://t.co/8ajiw0dAAR

Makes sense to collaborate on this #Brexit or not.
