🙌 🙌 So happy to see this project come to fruition and this paper officially forthcoming at AEJ: Policy -- in part because I care so much about the question and am proud of how we answered it, and in part because I got to work with superstar coauthors Jocelyn Wikle and Riley Wilson, who are the best.
