Are e-scooters making our city streets more dangerous? 🛴💥 Our latest research in the European Economic Review studies the impact of shared e-scooter services on urban traffic accidents and the critical role of public policy (joint with @cannoncloud.bsky.social and @hesss.org) #EScooters 👇👇

Combining city-level (staggered) rollout dates with data on police-reported accidents, we find that accidents involving personal injury increased by 8.2%. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
