Devastating news at IZA yesterday. More than 25 years of hard work, earned reputation, and valuable institutional knowledge and public good provision wiped out with a single stroke. It’s hard to find the words.

With @jeromevalette.bsky.social & Simone Bertoli, we are thrilled to announce the Call for Papers for the

3rd edition of the Junior Workshop on the Economics of Migration

on 23-24 June 2025 @CERDI, Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Submit until 23 February 2025 on economig2025.sciencesconf.org

APSR will start inviting replications for a random subset of accepted papers. I really like this as well as the constructive tone around it 👏 (from the latest Notes from the Editors)

Preview of Accepted manuscript: "Application Barriers and the Socioeconomic GAP in Child Care Enrollment"

🚨Finally online: Our paper on barriers to child care enrollment is now available @jeeanews.bsky.social 🤩🤩🤩

I'm over the moon 😁 Thanks to the most amazing team, @lergetporer.bsky.social, @fpeter.bsky.social & @simonwiederhold.bsky.social – what a ride! 🫶

The effects of youth clubs on education and crime | Institute for Fiscal Studies Using quasi-experimental variation from austerity-related cuts, I provide the first causal estimates of youth clubs' effects on education and crime.

New research from the IFS showing the closure of youth centres during the 2010s was shortsighted. For every £1 saved, the costs to affected users, crime victims and public spending in the police and the criminal justice system amount to £2.85
