We still have a relatively poor understanding of the relationship between research and policy. Program evaluation in particular is often motivated by a desire to make policy better. But how effective is program evaluation itself? Michelle Rao's JMP tackles this question.

Great piece👇 is entitled, “Are the kids all right?” But a different question is whether older New Yorkers, aged 45-64 are all right? The % (and raw number) of major crime arrestees in NYC who qualify for AARP membership has risen.
New York City has read some heated headlines of late about rising youth crime, with problems typically attributed to Raise the Age. What's actually going on? In a new piece for Vital City @jjhall_77 explains. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/the-t…
There's a good reason the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell Theorem is taught in intro econometrics, at least at the graduate level. It's used to characterize omitted variable bias as well as the plim of OLS estimators under treatment heterogeneity and also diff-in-diffs. And more.
