Consequences of childhood sexual abuse on immediate trauma are well understood & associations with worse mental health status persist in adulthood.
Yet, resources allotted to identifying and implementing best practices for prevention & support do not reflect its pervasiveness.

The "missing Americans": early death in the United States
In a new pre-print, we quantify the number of deaths that would have been averted each year, 1933-2021, if the U.S. had mortality rates equal to the average of 18 peer nations.

1/ Short thread on an update of this paper. We've updated the methodology to one we think is much better.
Before, we used the BlackRock-BGI acquisition (1 event). Now we use entries of labor market competitors into the S&P 500 (192 events).

Common ownership is particularly beneficial in land ownership given the prevalence of public goods and spatial spillovers internalized by the common owner.
One example here: more concentrated land ownership facilitates coordination for oil and gas drillers enabling investment.

@Timlongman Most of my classes now revolve around reading and discussing academic papers. I require everyone to prepare slides w their comments (as if they’re a conference discussant). I then use a random number generator to pick one person to present their slides. /2

You've just ordered Pizza Hut and a 2L Mountain Dew. You've loaded up R Studio on your PC. No school tomorrow. Your parents don't care if you stay up all night long. A perfect Summer night. You are 39 years old. The year is 2022. #rstats
