In 2011, 21% of workers were low paid – defined as hourly pay below two-thirds of the overall median. By April 2024 3.4% of employees were low paid on this measure.

Very pleased that our local projections dif-in-dif paper is now out in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. Joint with @dgirardi.bsky.social, Jorda, and Taylor.
It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have).

🚨PSA: Do NOT use SciDB — a database of 92M+ research papers freely available (including those published after 2021 when Sci-Hub stopped).
SciDB makes latest research freely accessible and keeps billion-dollar publishers from profiting off of academics' work. It's truly insane.

What is a systemtic review and how to get started on one:
Before we get started on a systematic review, we need to understand a couple of points, the first one being the difference between primary research and secondary research.

What happens to women when they are denied an abortion?
Short run: their risk of death rises.
A full 15 years later, they experience:
more health issues,
lower attainment,
reduced labor-force participation,
higher single motherhood,
higher poverty, +
greater government assistance

Ok folks, we know work requirements reduce benefits without increasing work (cc: @chloeneast.bsky.social)
But who loses benefits and what happens if work requirements are reversed?
New evidence from linked SNAP-Medicaid data and a natural experiment in CT tell a concerning story...

SNAP work requirements have biggest effect on those least able to work
Most people pushed out of SNAP in Connecticut didn’t find their way back in, even when work requirements were later reversed.
