"Tenant rights, eviction, and rent affordability" by @coulsoncommaed, Thao Le, Victor Ortego-Marti and Lily Shen
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Intriguing paper showing that tenant rights have been increasing--and tend to be highest in liberal states.
The consequence is lower evictions, but also much higher rents & homelessness.

Paul Krugman's new substack has surprisingly great music recommendations. Today he revealed his cousin played in the string section in Portishead's Live from the Roseland Ballroom album🤯

I have been reading JMPs all afternoon and the quality of the research is just astonishing.
Cheers to all the young econ, policy and social science researchers out there. Y'all are raising the bar.
