New working paper on the emerging use of AI among online survey participants:
Focusing on open-ended Qs, we study how often and why survey-takers use AI. We also compare human vs LLM written answers to sensitive questions.

10 years after Ferguson, @mfriedrichnyc links history and our current political moment to police culture and its preoccupation with violence. A tremendously generous and incisive review for @thenation.
The Danger Imperative, a book by sociologist Michael Sierra-Arévalo, studies several police departments around the country to catalog the often hidden mechanisms that animate police violence. A review by @mfriedrichnyc. bit.ly/3YDRBaA

I still remember the first time I heard Chana present on this project (almost a decade ago!) - one of the most interesting talks I’ve ever been to. Can’t wait to read the book!
So exciting to see my book, DISTANCING THE PAST, out in the world at the @ColumbiaUP booth at #ASA2024 🥳
Really excited to see my book in the wild at the @PrincetonUPress booth at @ASAnews! It’s out (for real, for real) in two short days. #ASA2024

Regulators who are not worried about PE because they think they are much less levered than banks should read this. Not much “equity” in the business model these days ig.ft.com/private-equity via @ft

As people list Biden’s accomplishments, the HISTORIC and HUGE decline in child poverty in 2021 due to his expanded CTC needs to be highlighted.
And, I’d point out Harris proposed something very close to this policy when she ran for president in 2016.

If you love me but don’t care about this book, please buy it anyway because I spent *12* years of my life on this project. If this book were a child, it would have just graduated from 6th grade. Deserves a celebration!
And look at this awesome art on the spine. Think about how great this book would look on your bookshelf!
To explain regulatory variation across countries, its not enough to look at the economic circumstances regulators face or the relative power of the financial industry. Regulators and their worldviews take center stage. Holds implications for how we should design better policy.
If you couldn’t care less about finance, you’ll like my bigger argument about where better/worse regulation comes from. Key point: regulatory differences emerge from divergent beliefs about economic order and prosperity. Beliefs really matter for the choices regulators make
If you care about financial regulation, you’ll like my comparative and historical approach. Comparison across countries and over time revealed new trends that challenge traditional stories about how financial regulation has evolved—especially in the US.
