New from Hainmueller and Laitin on the causal effects of becoming a citizen on wages. Short story: the observational ests overstate the premium relative to the experimental ests. Authors conclude "observational averages should not be used as causal forecasts for policy" doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Here is my first contribution to @goodauth.bsky.social, in which I explain how Mexico's cartels govern alongside the state, not in its absence. I focus on Michoacán and its broader implications for criminal groups' resilience and the limits of kingpin strategies. goodauthority.org/news/how-mex...

Research in Michoacán shows how criminal groups survive leadership turnovers, expand into new markets, and retain power.
