Great to see ``Police Violence and Civic Responses” with @ProfDesmondAng in print! We find exposure to police violence causally increases registrations and votes. Effects are driven entirely by Black and Hispanic citizens and are largest for killings of unarmed people. A 🧵 1/:
A terrific and well-deserved MacArthur Fellowship to Jesse Shapiro for his innovative work on political economy and polarization, economics of media, and behavioral economics!
New class of 2021 MacArthur Fellows is incredible. Thrilled to see @BrownUniversity behavioral economist (and more) Jesse Shapiro honored— he is a rare combination of creative, methodical, and wide-ranging macfound.org/programs/fello…
HKS’s @MarcellaAlsan has won the @macfound Fellowship, recognizing her work on the legacies of discrimination in perpetuating racial disparities in health. She’s the first current and first female HKS professor to win the genius grant ken.sc/3CTDoZ0
Great article featuring my work w/ @PankaBencsik @jmb112485 @EDerenoncourt on how the murder of George Floyd affected civilian cooperation with law enforcement
After George Floyd’s death on May 25th the number of 911 calls for every gun death or injury fell by almost half econ.st/3EEUlbm
Father Coughlin had a devoted following of 30 million radio listeners who tuned in to hear his populist tirades in the 1930s. We spoke with @Tianyi91 on what his research reveals about Coughlin's influence and the persuasiveness of popular media figures. aeaweb.org/research/tiyan…

Savoring these kind words from THE Shamus Khan. Anyway, yes, I did drop a new—shorter! (Don’t look at the appendix though 😂)—version of my working paper on the backlash to the Great Migration. Lessons from the biggest natural experiment in MTO in American history.

@InkyuKang1 Thanks for sharing! Definitely related
Declines are prevalent across Black, Hispanic and white neighborhoods, despite the latter's relatively limited direct exposure to police violence. 2/5
@CharlesFLehman Great point. The data doesn't explicitly label officer-initiated calls. However, we can filter out calls related to traffic stops & patrols (i.e., incidents arising from proactive policing) and find a similar pattern, suggesting it's not due to changes in police intensity
Finally, we find no evidence that effects were reversed by Derek Chauvin's conviction. Our results suggest high-profile acts of police violence can inflict lasting damage to civilian trust, a key input into law enforcement's ability to solve crimes & maintain public safety. 4/5
@rory_kramer Great point re: ShotSpotter. We were also concerned about potential reliability issues so replicated our analysis benchmarking 911 calls to gun violence casualties from @GunDeaths. Here's what we find:
How does police violence affect public cooperation w/ law enforcement? In a new WP w/ @PankaBencsik @jmb112485 @EDerenoncourt, we find large declines in crime-reporting after the murder of George Floyd. Across 8 cities, 911 calls per gunshot drop by 50% & total calls by 25%. 1/5

How can we restore civil dialogue in the U.S.? Political scientist Jane Mansbridge may have a solution. hrvd.me/mansbridge6754t
@TrevonDLogan Certainly in econ, there's too little work examining Native Americans, despite huge and persistent racial disparities across nearly every outcome
