Study shows incarceration causes short-term earnings drops while in prison (13% in 5 years), but finds no long-term negative effects on employment or wages. Low earnings among formerly incarcerated likely stem from pre-existing factors, not incarceration. econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

Mortality risk is lower while incarcerated, primarily due to lower risk of overdose or murder. In the July issue, by Sam Norris (@sambnorris), Matt Pecenco (@mattpecenco) and Jeff Weaver (Jeff_Weaver_) zurl.co/RvdE
Officially out in @restatjournal today, we study the effect of incarceration on mortality. Mortality is lower in prison than out, driven by accidents/murders and (to a lesser degree) the poor health care that inmates face after release. My thread from when it was accepted👇

I get that replication is painful, but if you’ve written good code this should only take a day. And if you’ve written good code, then it’s less likely there’s a mistake in your paper.

@TheEconomist recently highlighted research suggesting health risks from first-cousin marriages are minimal, but my latest study, with @sam_hwang81 @DeaglanJakob, tells a different story. It is (surprise!) quite bad for the lifespan of offspring papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
