🚨Job market paper thread! 🚨 Using an RD design and admin TX data, I estimate the effects of college transfers. I find negative earnings returns for marginal students who transfer from 2-yr to 4-yr colleges or 4-yr nonflagship to flagship college. users.ssc.wisc.edu/~lmmiller22/Mi…

Small & disadvantaged communities prefer grants for #water #infrastructure projects, but that isn't always possible, and revolving loans stretch dollars much further to meet our country's needs. @USDA's new One Percent Loan program recognizes that dynamic content.nrwa.org/home/news/1554…

🚨🚨🚨New @AWRAHQ journal study led by Ariana Hernandez (@ahern98) & me: Where we had the crazy idea that updating a post-1990 understanding of who & where in the U.S. relies on (off regulated grid) private wells and septics might prove valuable. 🧵⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…


Is there something better we could do than SNAP to address water affordability issues? @IRP_UW

A simple change to the Farm Bill could make water utilities eligible for payment through SNAP. SNAP already pays for billions in bottled water; my @newsweek OpEd argues for using that efficient, wide-reaching federal program to pay for tap water, too. newsweek.com/helping-people…

First, do no harm Utility assistance programs must be efficient to be equitable. Each dollar spent on administration means higher bills for low-income customers who don’t participate, without any corresponding benefit. mannyteodoro.com/?p=3348
