If I am required to pay undergrad RAs $15/ hour, I will definitely hire fewer of them. Silver lining: less paperwork for me.
Ok enough pot-stirring for now; I'm muting this conversation.

Expand the EITC, folks.
Ok one more thing: If you're worried about college students struggling to make ends meet, the solution is not for professors to become their benefactors. The solution is to raise taxes on those who can afford it (like me) & provide more/better financial aid.

Isn’t the CEA usually academics? I’m disappointed.
Rouse is a great pick, obviously. But presumably Biden could’ve had his pick of heavyweight economists from the academy to round out the group.
I should stop reading the news. Nothing good comes of it.

This paper is officially forthcoming at AEJ: Applied!

“The effects of DNA databases on the deterrence and detection of offenders,” joint work with @annesofieanker & @r_landersoe.

aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

Here is a thread describing what we do and what we find: Image
@annesofieanker @r_landersoe Offender DNA databases are used around the world to catalog DNA profiles of people who have been convicted or arrested for particular crimes. (The details of who is included depend on state or national law.)
The goal is to identify repeat offenders if they commit a new crime — the DNA profiles are compared w DNA profiles from crime scenes. Any matches are sent to local police. This helps identify suspects in cases where the perpetrator wasn’t already on law enforcement’s radar.

This study considers the effect of transferring authority to appoint, promote, and dismiss police officers from a politically-elected mayor to a semi-independent civil service commission. It finds benefits. Image
This study considers anti-profiling policies implemented in the wake of a racial profiling scandal in NJ. It finds mixed effects.

This study considers a rule change that made it more difficult for TX troopers to misreport drivers' race in traffic stops -- thus making it easier to identify biased cops. It found benefits.
