Econ friends: Did you know that @nberpubs has refused to make its current crime working group into a full program? I assure you there’s lots of great econ of crime research you never see bc the working group can’t admit scholars to NBER. This might be a good time to change that.
The crime working group is also one of the more diverse groups at NBER, so this decision has a disparate impact on underrepresented groups.
The constraint is apparently funding (& some internal politics). 🤷🏼‍♀️ If anyone out there wants to support top-notch scholarship on how to improve CJ policy, sponsoring a full NBER econ of crime program would be a great investment.

Check out the fascinating work that this group does. There's lots more where this came from! Wouldn't you love to see it in your NBER email each Monday?

As a researcher, I now take as given that unnecessary escalation of incidents (e.g. to arrests/violence), as well as racial bias, are both (related) problems in policing. The question is how to *solve* these problems. 1/n
I have ideas. You have ideas. We all have ideas. 2/n
But we need to recognize that even our best ideas about how to solve the problems in policing are untested hypotheses. We need to start testing! (And we need to be ready to be proven wrong. Really good ideas often don’t work in practice.) 3/n

Some thoughts on the ‘whisper network’ in economics, and how it has recently failed one corner of our discipline:
There is a senior male researcher in my field who ‘everyone knows’ not to work with. He has a reputation for being a compulsive liar and making up data. There are also allegations of sexual harassment.
These stories aren’t secrets, but they’re not exactly public either. We’d counted on a classic ‘whisper network’ among both women and men in the field to protect each other.
