Congratulations to Profs @climent.bsky.social and @judegreen.bsky.social for being elected Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences.

Our research with @derciodeassis.bsky.social, @arpitaghosh.bsky.social and Sonia Oreffice on non-fatal strangulation laws and IPH is cited as core evidence in a Members' Business Motion that will be debated before the @parliament.scot this Thursday, 8 Jan 2026: www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-...

Encouraging to see our research on non-fatal strangulation laws cited in the @parliament.scot #VAWG debate, noting US legislation has made strangulation a serious stand-alone criminal offence, which has been linked to reduced intimate partner homicide rates. www.parliament.scot/api/sitecore...

Bridging Research and Policy for Gender Equality: From Insight to Impact - Global Development Research

Economists, social scientists, and policy thinkers met at the Gender Issues Development Workshop to discuss challenges affecting women and possible soultions

Revised WP: -Non-fatal strangulation laws ⬇️ both female- & male-victim IP homicides (IPH). -US states that adopt NFS laws: ⬇️ IPH rates (14–27%), ⬆️ IPV assaults classified as aggravated, ⬆️ arrests. -Clearer legal framework stops escalation & save lives. 🔗 exetereconomics.github.io/RePEc/dpaper...

Thrilled to recommend Ye Yuan @ye-yuan.bsky.social, an outstanding economist whose research is sharp, creative, & methodologically rigorous. He is a generous colleague and an excellent teacher. Anyone hiring in #AppliedMicro should take a close look at his work: sites.google.com/view/ye-yuan/

A real pleasure to give a keynote at the 3rd Workshop on #Gender Issues & #Development at the Uni of Reading & to learn about impactful #research. I spoke on "Disrupting Violence, Protecting Lives: Strangulation Laws & Intimate Partner Homicides": shorturl.at/QCaA0 Many thanks to the organisers!

1./ At last! 🎉 After years in the making, my paper with Manuel Fernandez & @marcogn.bsky.social is out as an IZA Discussion Paper. We ask: Can better streets boost property tax compliance? 🚧💰 If so, why? We answer this with an RCT in Mexico + a model of tax compliance. docs.iza.org/dp18082.pdf

1/ New article with Alejandro Robinson-Cortes and @ye-yuan.bsky.social @uofebusiness.bsky.social: "A Quantitative Review of Matching Papers in Economics: Evolution, Diversity, and Gender" Forthcoming in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Economics and Finance. 🧵

🚨 New paper with Dércio de Assis, Arpita Ghosh & Sonia Oreffice: “Strangulation Laws Save Lives.” We build a unique dataset on US state laws criminalizing non-fatal strangulation (NFS) and estimate their effect on intimate partner homicide (IPH). NFS laws reduce IPH! drive.google.com/file/d/1Dcu3...

Those who used to follow me on Twitter know that I tediously made the distinction between a model and an estimation method. In one thread, I considered regressions in a treatment effect context: Y on 1, D, X Y on 1, D, X, D*(X - Xbar) It is common to refer to the first as "OLS."

Call for Papers! We are inviting submissions for the GDE conference. If your research is on developing countries, send us your papers. The GDE is international and anyone is welcome, it is simply called "German" development conference because it is organized by DEU, AUT, and SUI universities.
