Also you can BE the organizer at the conference! If nothing is happening then just shout “meet at the bar at 5pm” or wherever, send everyone an email. Everyone is always looking for places to go or to know what others are doing. If there are no plans YOU can make it happen!

Really appreciated this thoughtful and expansive review of Shadows of Doubt by @AmandaYAgan, much more than a review really, covers a lot of interesting ground
My review article "Racial Disparities in the Criminal Legal System: Shadows of Doubt and Beyond" is finally out in the JEL! This article was a real labor of love. A mixture of broad overview and review of the thought-provoking book by Brendan O'Flaherty & @rajivatbarnard
Link to the paper: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
And more information about the book Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes, Crime, and the Pursuit of Justice: hup.harvard.edu/books/978067…
I hope you find it useful (though it was completed a while ago, so apologies for recent relevant papers that are not included). Thanks @sndurlauf for the opportunity to write it!

HCEO member @AmandaYAgan and colleagues find consistent evidence that removing a criminal offense from records does not improve labor market outcomes. Gig work through online platforms is an exception.

This super thorough paper uses multiple natural experiments + incredible administrative data to measure how sealing criminal records affects employment (FCRA rules and Clean Slate policies). Punchline: if you care about this issue, it's probably time to look for other options.
Episode 105: @AmandaYAgan on how sealing criminal records affects employment.

Listen to this excellent @ProbCausation podcast episode with @AmandaYAgan and host @jenniferdoleac. Fascinating results! probablecausation.com/podcas…
Hope you enjoy this podcast covering our new NBER WP on criminal record remediation policies and employment: nber.org/papers/w32394
I am trying for the Probable Causation 5-timers club jacket, which @jenniferdoleac promises will be a thing!
Grateful to @philadao for their help with this project. The DATA Lab is a model for practitioner-researcher collaborations! Check them out!
Important new research on Clean Slate in Pennsylvania — and more — made possible by data sharing through the @philadao #DATALab led by former colleague Mike @hllndr supported by Betsey Carroll.
Updates to data.philadao.com/Research soon to include this new paper and more.
Kudos.

Congrats @UM_CJARS and @Econ_Mike. Cannot wait to dig in!
I am planning to host an event at SOLE for attendees who are interested in the economics of crime. If you will be at SOLE and this sounds like you and you haven’t heard from me already can you drop me a line?
Dredging up an old tweet (thanks @paulgp!) I had saved to ask: is there something like this for relatively recent economics "top" journal articles (top defined loosely)?
Trying to show grad students what applied methodologies are common.
