Fascinating talk on criminals’ responses to incentives by Aoki and Kourtmeridis. The paper explores the effect of unexpected property damage on burglary! Happening now at the Econ of crime conference organised by @CEP_LSE and @UofGlasgow

@gmhales Back then I ran some regs, showing a +ve correlation bw exclusions and knife crime. I recall this coeff became 0 once we controlled for unemploymt, ethnicity, & other socioecon vars. Ultimatly deprivation concentrates spatially. Knife crime (and exlusions) are outcomes of poverty

At last but most of all, I would like to thank @EdoardoTolva , who gave me the confidence to apply, and who provided feedback relentlessly while I prepared my application and I trained for my interview. He believed I could be a Fulbrighter much earlier than I did. Thank you.

Making a mistake with the code and getting a weird graph on Stata is fun. Getting it wrong with MATLAB though...That’s another level!! 🥳

@pwlbukowski tells us about rent sharing (bw firms and workers), and how it has declined since the 1980s in the UK and other countries. The mechanism: market power. Part of the @CEP_LSE annual meeting, and very interesting work!

Above all, I want to thank @KirchmaierTom for believing in me, and giving me pretty crazy opportunities for development (BBC, RES...). I hope I won't disappoint in this next stage in the -somewhat crazy- desire to pursue an academic career. Thank you.

@RiaIvandic has just presented her ongoing research on football and intimate partner violence. Statistically more violence (male on female) after a game. The mechanism: probably alcohol. @CEP_LSE meeting day 2

(In Spanish) @FiscaliaCol look at atypical sales in gas stations in 🇨🇴. The analysis highlights which sales are more likely to be devoted to the production of cocaine powder (in which gasoline a raw material). Very interesting, and great example of proactive data use in policing.

La gasolina es un precursor importante en la producción de cocaína. Se utiliza en la transformación inicial de la hoja de coca en pasta y base de cocaína. En la @FiscaliaCol analizamos patrones atípicos de ventas de combustible posiblemente asociados a la producción de cocaína...

Crime people on #EconTwitter ... There is no Wikipedia page for "economics of crime"... Should we pool effort and create it? Or even better: if someone is teaching this... why not make it an assignment? 🤠

This visualization of voting behaviour in Spain (by @kikollan ) is extremely interesting.
