Substitution patterns arise in Canada despite its strict tobacco control environment, suggesting that patterns of substitution between e-cigarettes and cigarettes are generalizable across countries with different tobacco regulatory strengths. 2/2

🚨New Working Paper🚨 We find that provincial e-cigarette flavor restrictions in Canada nearly eliminated flavored vape sales, increased tobacco/unflavored vape sales by 123%, and increased cigarette sales by 9.6%. 1/2 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I'm hiring a research coordinator to provide a blend of administrative, research, and programmatic support for @NIH-funded research projects. Remote work available. Apply here: bit.ly/417zg5Z. #EpiTwitter #PublicHealth

@jenniferdoleac When does the book come out? Looking forward to reading it!

Got new headshots taken for the book, etc. If you’re in/near/looking for an excuse to visit Houston, I highly recommend Ling Wang Photography - Ling is amazing!

Just a few economists hanging out at the game.

Free research idea: Measure the impacts of RCV where it has been implemented, on the tone of the campaign, who runs, who wins, and (eventually) policy outcomes.

Grateful for the chance to present my research at #WEAI yesterday. Huge thanks to @KSchnepel for organizing so many great sessions, and to everyone who attended and shared valuable feedback!

I’m excited to share my research at #ASHEcon2024

"Since 1994, Congress has appropriated more than $20 billion for the Community Oriented Policing Services [COPS] grant program.... Has this program made communities safer?" Why, yes it has! There's strong research showing this! Oddly, that's not what this op-ed says. 🙃 washingtoninformer.com/cop-program-ov…

A quick life update: Today, I accepted an offer to work as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Missouri! I will work for @mikepesko researching tobacco policy and other health topics. I am incredibly blessed and thankful for this opportunity!

New research from @jonathan_tebes and Jeffrey Fagan makes the most compelling and stark case to date that "Stop and Frisk" was a disasterous policy without merit. Whether you previously "knew" that or not, it's still time to update your beliefs. economistwritingeveryday.com/2023/11/20/sto…

The next ViCE seminar is this Thursday, October 19, at 1pm ET. @KSchnepel will present: "Better Stealing than Dealing? The Effects of Changing Felony Theft Thresholds on Property Crime, Illicit Drug Distribution, and Opioid Use" More info: jenniferdoleac.com/vice-seminar/

@jmb112485 Accidental discharge?

I'm working with acoustically detected gunshot data from a major US city and learned a puzzling fact: ~40% of incidents involve only a single bullet being discharged. Assume no measurement error. What do you think is happening "on the ground" when someone fires exactly once?
