Sharing my new working paper on age and suicide impulsivity: Understanding age-specific suicide patterns can help tailor effective mental health interventions, and I'm proud this work can shed some light on this important issue.
Purchase-delay laws reduce firearm suicide for the overall adult population, but the effect is largely driven by a 6.1 percent reduction for young adults ages 21–34, from John J. Donohue, Samuel V. Cai, and Arjun Ravi nber.org/papers/w31917
Excited to share my article for @ThePublicSquare on the hidden dangers of right-to-carry concealed firearm laws! A short, nontechnical summary of my research at Stanford with @JohnDonohueSLS and @mattbondy007. Read the article here: zocalopublicsquare.org/2023/…
In 1979, most U.S. states prohibited the concealed carry of firearms. By 2000, over half of the states had laws that mandated issuing concealed-carry permits. @SamuelCai writes about new research on the hidden dangers of right-to-carry: bit.ly/47eLuKP

The number of real estate agents shot up 7% over the last year. As housing inventory crashes, there are now more real estate agents than actual houses for sale in the US. Economist @sgil1122 says this could be a problem. npr.org/2021/04/21/989588150…
I got a NPR byline :)
With $300 extra a week of unemployment benefits coming in, how will employment levels be affected? (Hint: maybe not by much)
