Check out our recently accepted paper on attribution bias in college major choice! (with @k_haggag @nolangpope and Aaron Feudo)
Journal of Public Economics@JPubEcon

College students assigned to a 7:30am intro course are 10% less likely to major in that subject. A similar effect is found for fatigue-inducing back-to-back courses. Why? Attribution bias. Students appear to misattribute their bad experience to the subject rather than fatigue

The @UpshotNYT just released a new analysis of racial disparities in voter wait times in the 2020 election using cell phone data. They find nearly identical results to those that we found in 2016 (compare graphs below). Replication: great! Continued racial disparities: not great

After many years of effort it's awesome to see this come to life. I'm optimistic that together we'll be able to transform research and policymaking around poverty in the Middle East & North Africa. So many people and organizations to thank for their support...

The average wait time for voters in black neighborhoods is 29% longer than the wait time in white neighborhoods, according to a UCLA study. Even in the same county, voters in a hypothetical all-black precinct would wait 15% longer than voters in an all-white precinct

We link children who were displaced by public housing demolitions to their adult voting records (~two decades later). Moving children into higher income neighborhoods via housing vouchers increased the overall likelihood they vote by 12% (3.3 percentage points). [2/2]
