I loved presenting today at Universidad EAFIT. This coauthored paper (with Joana Monteiro and André Mancha) studies the creation of a new police unit in Brazil. Thanks to @santiagotobon.bsky.social and colleagues for the warm welcome. (Photo credit: the excellent Pablo Sanabria.)

We have been conducting this research for three years in collaboration with @chrisblattman.bsky.social, @maranzazuru.bsky.social, and our teams from Universidad EAFIT, UChicago Harris School, and Innovations for Poverty Action, with support from donors such as Templeton, NSF, and many others

what i missed most when i left econtwitter was a way to crowdsource...

I'm looking for a compelling multi-arm RCT where it was not obvious which treatment would work better or the answer is ex post surprising. goal is to show non-researchers that their priors can be wrong, using an A/B example. 📈📉
