Best of #econtwitter - JMPs 2022 special edition, part seven
If your thread (or your student’s, or your colleague’s) is missing below, submissions are as always extremely welcome.
Previously: 2022 JMPs part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six. Editions from prior years are here.
As written last year: Plausibly these JMP editions have the highest densities of good content of all the newsletters. These are presented in even less of a sense of any order than usual.

JMP thread time!
Air pollution is bad for health, even at low levels.
➡️How do pollution's effects on workers translate into costs for firms?
My job market paper is the first to provide country-level evidence on this question in a setting with moderate pollution. A🧵(1/11)

I construct a new dataset with administrative prison data combined with unique CBT participation data to identify the causal effects of CBT on recidivism
I find strong reductions in recidivism, especially with first-time offenders, who experience effects for up to three years.

When you heard that Hurricane Ian flooded a lot of houses that were built in the last 40 years, did you wonder if those houses should have been built in the first place?
Or did you guess that if so many people moved to Florida, the sunshine must be worth the flood risk?

How do we get new environmentally-friendly technologies into the hands of people?
One hypothesis is that social interactions with peers are essential: I provide causal estimates of peer effects on adopting electric vehicles (EV).

The pandemic accelerated a shift towards direct giving on P2P platforms. I use a large, admin bank txn dataset of low-income workers to estimate that mean monthly P2P inflows increased $30 a month after job loss before returning to baseline over 10 months.
