Based on scientific evidence: Immigration does not increase crime rates.

1/ šŸ¤” Ever wondered if pairing socially isolated students with popular peers helps or hurts their outcomes? My job market paper explores this through a large-scale RCT across Indian schools. Thread below šŸ§µ #EconSky #EconJobMarket #JMP

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It's a topic that I think is really important and is my main research agenda. I even got to give a TEDx talk last week on it. Some key facts: ā¤µļø

I'm on the Econ Job Market this year šŸ¤“ I am an applied economic theorist, with a focus on political economy and information economics. My JMP, "Environmental Policymaking with Political Learning", is available here: doi.org/10.31235/osf... #econsky #polisky #econjmp

Re-post one of your best tweets. No screenshots. I'll go first. --- In the first part of this paper, I use a rigorous research design to estimate the causal effect of X on Y. I then turn to testing mechanisms by over-interpreting a bunch of correlations in the data.

Super interesting work! šŸ‘šŸ¼

šŸ“œ Just published in the Journal of Public Economics šŸ“œ "Specialised courts and the reporting of intimate partner violence: Evidence from Spain" I am lucky to have worked with @martammatute.bsky.social and @jorgeghombrados in this paper and thankful for all I learned from them. Thread below!

Tried to put together a list of pol econ people (both theory and empirics) on bsky: go.bsky.app/UhWxdmh Probably missing a lot of names: let me know who I should add!

Is there a Political Economy starter pack? #EconSky šŸ“ˆšŸ“‰

To all the new #EconSky people whi may be dealing with the Econ Job Market: *There is an #EconJMP feed *I have a PhD Job Market Starter Pack go.bsky.app/4icnwxi. If you are a candidate or an institution posting *many* openings, reach out and I will add you.

Folks, two things 1. Bluesky is taking off šŸš€ 2. I'm no marketing expert, but maybe aligning the social media platform you bought for $44bn with fascists and their far-right friends isn't the best strategy for retaining your users bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/b...

Here are UK & US BlueSky numbers separately, to show whatā€™s driving the trends: ā€¢ Aug 3rd: Musk says ā€˜civil war is inevitableā€™ in UK during far right riots ā€¢ Oct 17th: Musk changes the block function on X, prompting a massive exodus ā€¢ Nov 7th: thousands more migrate in aftermath of Trump victory

Weā€™re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democratsā€™ defeat. Some of those stories may even be true! But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world šŸ‘‡ ļæ¼

Reminder: Victory for Trump is likely to all but end global hopes of staying below 1.5C, our analysis found in March www.carbonbrief.org/...
