Chukwuma Nwoye from Clemson University finds that Medicaid expansion reduces monthly job turnover by 0.5 percentage points, driven by men, more educated, White, and those nearing retirement.

Dr. Keith Teltser from @gsueconomics.bsky.social shows that post-direct acting antiviral (DAA) transplantation rate increased and wait times reduced for White patients with negative hepatitis C diagnosis.

My co-author @jafaro0.bsky.social and I show that the opium cultivation ban in Afghanistan led to an immediate and large increase in food insecurity, which gradually faded away as the affected population resorted to arguably costly coping strategies only if they had the ability to do so.

Dr. Angela Cools shows that churchgoing the Sunday before the election reduces county-level Republican share by 0.6 percentage points, driven by White Evangelical churchgoers.

Dr. Tommy Leung studied self-preferencing on Netflix, finding that Netflix's self-preferencing increases TV shows' view counts in the subsequent week.

Janghyeok An leverages multiple work hours legislations in South Korea to show that standard work hours change reduces standard hours worked and increases overtime hours worked for female workers. This reform also increased the likelihood of the firm providing job training.

Dr. Jonathan Leganza uses an age eligibility threshold for qualified charitable donations (QCDs) to show that in the post-TCJA period, there is a 59% increase in charitable donations after aging into QCDs eligibility, driven by the increased likelihood of making big donations.

Dr. Dillan Bono-Lunn presents work suggesting that it is unlikely that union growth is restricted to only certain industries. State-level policies, like RTW laws, drive both the level of union elections and wins.

First up, we have Dr. Lisa Schulkind, who shares her work on intergenerational wealth mobility estimates from the United States. They find that wealth persistence has been remarkably stable, primarily driven by White households. The Black-White wealth gap is converging over the sample period.

Tej Singh showed that proximity to a primary health center in Nigeria leads to ⬆️ use of facility-based care, but no shift in overall care utilization
