How many people go to church weekly?

Surveys say it's about 1 in 5 Americans.

Cell phone tracker data say it's actually closer to 1 in 20 Americans.

Fascinating new working paper!

Can you guess what happens when you give kids food stamps?

...

They...

⚫live longer,
⚫invest more in human capital,
⚫are more economically self-sufficient,
⚫live in better neighborhoods,
⚫are less likely to be incarcerated.

"Food Stamps’ transfer of resources to families is a highly cost-effective investment in young children."

What else happens when you give families access to food stamps?

Kids in those families are much less likely to commit a crime as a direct result.

"The...benefits from [food stamp's] later crime reduction exceed the costs of the program."

Running a study where you use names to signal race?

Be careful! Names signal more than just race alone.

But (!), fret not; we have pre-tested 600+ names for perceptions of race/class/citizenship.

My latest working paper with @hjghassell.

Punchline: we show that despite prior research claims to the contrary, mass shootings have little effect on electoral outcomes in the U.S.

A short thread 1/n

dropbox.com/s/kanzrjmdzf0y…
We have two goals in our new paper:

1.) explore the question of whether mass shootings affect election outcomes in the United States

2.) Provide an overview/application of recent advances in the diff-in-diffs space. 2/n

dropbox.com/s/kanzrjmdzf0y…
Recent work on the electoral effects of gun violence in the United States relying on the difference-in-differences design has produced starkly conflicting findings that range from null effects to substantively large effects. (see below) 3/n

Anyone else feel like social scientists actually know far less than we think we know?
I was thinking about this in the context of all of the failures to replicate many findings in social science fields in recent years.

And how before those replication failures occurred, we were so very certain that we knew something about the world.
This gap between what we think we know and what we actually know seems to be ever present.

There’s many findings that, even now, we think are robust, but, as we learn more and more, as we develop new methods, etc. they will turn out to not be robust.

This is your periodic reminder that the graduation regalia for PhDs in Finland is a top hat and a sword. ImageImage
"The Doctor's Sword is a symbol for the scientist's fight for what he or she, in rigorous research, has found to be good, right and true." Image
"The doctor's hat is a symbol of liberty. Furthermore, it is a symbol of scholarship and freedom of research. The hat is round, because its wearer is supposed to answer questions clearly and naturally and not to split hairs." Image
