My paper with @TDeryugina @GarthHeutel @davidmolitor and Miller estimating the effect of daily air pollution on health is now forthcoming at AER. Here's a quick recap, including results of a new machine learning exercise with >40 billion observations.

🚨New Paper Alert🚨
Financial incentives are often used to promote healthy behavior, but do they create long-lasting habits? Can they for infrequent behaviors like screenings & vaccinations?
We conducted a series of randomized experiments among ~5000 employees to find out. 1/🧵

Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv. One of the most important CHILDREN’S hospitals not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe. Okhmatdyt has been saving and restoring the health of thousands of children.
Now that the hospital has been damaged by a Russian strike, there are people under the rubble, and the exact number of casualties is still unknown. Right now, everyone is helping to clear the rubble – doctors and ordinary people.
Russia cannot claim ignorance of where its missiles are flying and must be held fully accountable for all its crimes. Against people, against children, against humanity in general. It is very important that the world does not remain silent about this now, and that everyone sees what Russia is and what it is doing.
My econ posts are also all on the other place. I may occasionally do announcements here but that's all.

Make everything replicable from the start. Lets you catch errors sooner, producing a more error-free analysis, and also will make the AEA replication process smooth

A new method proposes to assess the long-term mortality impacts of air pollution by using short-run quasi-experimental estimates to calibrate a dynamic model of health, from @TDeryugina and @JulianReif nber.org/papers/w31858
New working paper: @TDeryugina and I estimate that a permanent, 10% reduction in air pollution exposure would raise life expectancy by about 1.2 years.

@IllinoisIGPA recently published a policy spotlight on a study by @JulianReif and @SihoPark1 detailing the uneven patterns of excess deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic in regional and political demographics across the US. Read more on their findings here: igpa.uillinois.edu/wp-conten…
ALT Featured Publication "During the first two and a half years of the pandemic, Illinois lost about 588 years of life per 10,000 people, situating it within the bottom third of states in terms of total loss of life." Illinois IGPA. Headshots of Julian Reif and Siho Park.

(Also, much respect to Holger Spamann for using Harvard tenure to write so many great replications/corrections. He's right that no one gives you credit for improving science -actually, the opposite! scholar.harvard.edu/hspamann…; hat tip to @stanveuger for pointing out this page)

"A commitment to empirical social science means that you must follow the truth wherever it leads. And if you are never surprised by the results of one of your own studies, you are either cooking the books or asking the wrong questions." -@ProfDavidDeming

I donated $1,000 to support @DataColada’s defense against Gino’s ridiculous lawsuit. Believers in open science must stand together.
Frankly, @HarvardHBS should step up and cover their costs. Leif, Joe, and Uri have done them an immeasurable service.
Be a part of the change you wish to see in the world:
Donate to help support the legal expenses of Data Colada.
They're being sued by Prof Gino after posting careful, meticulous blog posts raising concerns about data integrity in 4 papers.
