The upshot:Long-run benefits of Army service are $10k larger for Black enlistees than White enlistees.
Check out this excellent thread by @MatthewGudgeon!
New work analyzing the returns to Army service in the 90s and 00s and how they vary by race with @greenberg_k @AdamIsen1 @corbinlmiller @Richwpatt is just accepted at the QJE: xitter.cf/QJEHarvard/status/1542… 🧵👇1/9
Awesome paper by some of my favorite people in the biz. This is a very careful and evenhanded analysis of the effects of combat deployments.
Now in @JPolEcon. Combat deployments increase injuries and combat deaths, but have little effect on suicide, credit, incarceration, or education. Deployments do not explain recent surges in veterans’ noncombat deaths or disability compensation: doi.org/10.1086/729450

Such a good group of people in a pretty incredible place! Anyone who fits the bill should seriously consider this job.
We are super off-cycle (due to unexpected departures), but we have two TT lines that just got approved/posted! Each position requires a research focus related to agriculture/natural resources. Hit me up if you have questions! We're planning to move fast.
