So I crossed the border from Germany to France today and the journey took around 30 minutes longer than I was used to cause we had to go through border checks. This is now a daily routine for commuters living in the German border regions.

An unpopular view: new diff-in-diff methods have been a setback for empirical work. I see an increased flow of papers that do 5 variants of them plus extensive torturing of parallel trends robustness to "prove" that a weak research design is solid. That effort could've been spent more productively

We were lucky enough to have our YouGov/The Economist poll in field when the US bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. You can see the partisan realignment in real time

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over ÂŁ8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

🚨New paper on a neglected topic: women in jail. In most countries, women are held in female sections of male prisons or in women-only prisons. Using data from Italy and quasi-random assignment, we find women-only prisons cut recidivism by up to 16pp.

grossly incompetent to voters -- who would then have less reason to desert it. As is usually the case, stronger constraint *reduce* the cost of voting for "bad" politicians. There is, in fact, another twist to this argument. Citizens may well have incentives

coverage of our paper on the selection and consequences of criminal politicians in Brazil: - criminally charged individuals are 2x more likely to enter politics: - negative effects on patronage and in turn, local public health

Criminal charges and political selection: Evidence on electoral outcomes and policy failures from Brazil
The quality of political leadership is a central determinant of state capacity. This column studies the prevalence and impact of candidates with criminal backgrounds holding public office in Brazil. Individuals who have been charged with a crime are twice as likely to run for office and to be elected, a pattern that persists across political parties and levels of government. Electing mayors with criminal behaviour in their past increases the incidence of political patronage and worsens public health outcomes such as underweight births and infant mortality.

We wrote a piece for Le Monde (with Olivie Marie and Paolo Pinotti) on the (lack of) link between crime and migration. « Il n’y a pas de lien de cause à effet entre l’immigration et la hausse de la criminalité » Here the link (in 🇫🇷):

I just can't get it out of my head why this isn't a much bigger story. I guess it's because people are generally so totally cynical about US politics already.

Study finds elected Italian female mayors are 3x more likely to experience a violent attack than their male equivalents. Attacks on women in politics are designed as a signal to all women to stay out of politics and public life.

Why are female politicians more often targeted with violence? New findings confirm depressing suspicions
A study of Italian mayors made it possible to compare the experiences of politicians with identical characteristics other than their gender.

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.
