Lots of talk on X today about rethinking the results produced by close elections RDDs.
So, I thought I'd drop a few recent articles about issues that arise in this space so that folks can have them all in one place. 1/N

This is a remarkable paper. Substantively, it convincingly argues that what looks like weak state capacity is often *captured* capacity. Methodologically, it’s a triumph of mixed qualitative and quantitative approaches. pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...

Hello #EconSky!
📢Excited to share my #JMP 📢
It provides a missing piece to understand how people react to income taxation.
Tldr: By changing tax pre-payments governments can - with almost no costs - increase perceived work incentives of secondary earners and reduce the gender gap.
