Thanks @JohnHolbein1! If you get a chance, check out our new working paper asking whether increasing public school funding can be an effective crime-prevention strategy in the long run.

Can you guess what happens when you spend more $$$ on elementary schools?

...

Students are less likely to be arrested in adulthood as direct result.

Setting aside other benefits, society receives more than $1 in benefits for every $1 in government $$$.

This was a blast! If you are interested in the causal effects of foster care on adult crime, check out my conversation with @jenniferdoleac in this episode of @ProbCausation!

I really enjoyed this conversation w @JasonBaron4 about his fascinating and important work on the (beneficial!) effects of foster care placement on kids’ long-term outcomes. Super policy-relevant results.

Check out our working paper! Also, @Ezragression is on the market this year and he is an outstanding economist. Keep an eye out for him!
Excited to share a working paper with @JasonBaron4 and Joe Ryan. We conduct the first study of Blind Removals, a program designed to address the over-representation of Black children in foster care.
TLDR: Blind Removals are not well-suited to address this over-representation.
