    Being called liberally biased for critiquing research claiming no racial bias in police violence. 2 yrs ago I was accused of conservative bias for critiquing a Voter ID study. Both studies made indisputable errors on matters of great policy importance. I call balls and strikes.

    New in the Journal of Political Economy: More day care for kids 0-2 in advantaged families takes away from 1-to-1 parent time and reduces IQ by 0.05sd at ages 8-14. Apparently not a great substitute for mom & dad.

    Yet one more article, this one in the new Review of Economic Studies by Marco Tabellini, carefully documents how *immigrants help* rather than hurt local economies. When is this fact going to finally filter down to voters and up to political leaders?

    When I first saw this article as a working paper, I wondered why pooling the microfinance RCT data wasn't done before--same indiv studies that indicated no effects now collectivity show *very large* effect. No wonder people get frustrated with economists!

    There’s likely a fairly simple explanation here—> people generally don’t use electricity *at home* to generate income. We use lights, TV, and refrigerators at home to make our lives better. We use power *at work* (or data centers, towers, factories, farms, etc) for income.

    New NBER working paper by Lee, , and Wolfram studies randomly connecting households to power grid in rural Kenya. Find electrification alone displayed no significant impacts on economic development--need complementary inputs?
