EGAPers gather in person this month to discuss #crime & #inequality. On that theme, we are spotlighting members working on crime reduction & police accountability. First up, @santiagotobon.bsky.social discusses “place-based” interventions to reduce crime: buff.ly/rOc0b5Z

I loved presenting today at Universidad EAFIT. This coauthored paper (with Joana Monteiro and André Mancha) studies the creation of a new police unit in Brazil. Thanks to @santiagotobon.bsky.social and colleagues for the warm welcome. (Photo credit: the excellent Pablo Sanabria.)

Asking for advise

what i missed most when i left econtwitter was a way to crowdsource...

I'm looking for a compelling multi-arm RCT where it was not obvious which treatment would work better or the answer is ex post surprising. goal is to show non-researchers that their priors can be wrong, using an A/B example. 📈📉
