Why are blue-collar voters drifting from the Democratic Party? Is it due to shifts in voter preferences or shifts in party positions? What role do cultural versus economic policies play? My Job Market Paper presents an empirical model that unpacks these dynamics.

Does social media use impact mental health? A principled re-analysis of Rausch and Haidt’s re-analysis. Short answer: no evidence that reductions in social media time improve adolescent mental health.
My blog post critical of this re-analysis is up: matthewbjane.com/blog-posts/blo…
The re-analysis conducted by Rausch & Haidt does not follow a principled statistical approach. I re-do their re-analysis with appropriate statistical methods
