摘要：Using a differences-in-differences strategy, we estimate the local economic effects of U.S. commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs). Our control group consists of locations where plant construction was planned but ultimately canceled. We find that NPP construction significantly increases local employment and wages, with effects concentrated in the construction and public utilities sectors. However, these gains dissipate once construction concludes and the plant becomes operational, as operation...

摘要：Schools are increasingly adopting four-day school weeks to address financial, attendance, and teacher retention issues, a trend that the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified. However, little is known about the nonacademic behavioral responses of juveniles to such transitions. We examine the impacts of adopting a four-day school week on juvenile crime, focusing particularly on disparities across rurality and locale size, using a difference-in-differences estimation approach. We find significant upti...

摘要：Can reducing administrative burdens increase the take-up of social benefits? This meta-analysis reviews 51 field experimental studies reporting 187 treatment effect sizes. Using the administrative burden framework to compare interventions, I reclassify each intervention by the stage it measures on (application vs. final receipt) and whether it reduces the learning demands by providing information or the compliance demands by providing assistance. The results indicate that it is significantly e...

摘要：This study examines the impact of residential water-efficiency standards on household water consumption, utilizing billing data from California. I examine both the short- and long-term impacts of the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), comparing homes constructed just before and after its implementation in 2010. The findings show that, on average, CALGreen homes use 11.7% less water than comparable pre-code homes, with savings persisting over time at approximately 10.9%. Notab...

摘要：Improving education and labor market outcomes for low-income students is critical for advancing socioeconomic mobility in the United States. We use longitudinal data on five cohorts of ninth-grade students to explore how Massachusetts public high schools affect the longer term outcomes of students, with a special focus on students from low-income families. Using detailed administrative and student survey data, we estimate school value-added impacts on college outcomes and earnings. Observation...

摘要：As recreational marijuana laws (RML) expanded marijuana access over the last decade, very little is known about the impact of RML on two costly social behaviors that may arise as a consequence of marijuana consumption: unhealthy eating (i.e., munchies) and sedentary lifestyle (i.e., couch-lock). Using NielsenIQ Consumer Panel data, we find that the passage of RML led to an increase in the number of grocery store trips that involved junk food, as well as the amount of spending. This effect is p...
