We leverage the timing of the #MeToo movement in China combined with a big data collection exercise to examine how this movement impacted judge's decisions. The paper does a lot of work to carefully estimate effects, but the conditional raw means really tell the story. [3/5]

Too often, victims of GBV are failed by criminal justice systems. Restraining orders are denied, divorces are prevented, and the list goes on. This inaction can lead to lives lost. In this paper we try to understand how and whether attitudes of judges can change. [2/5]

Breaking my social media hiatus to share some new work. Please see my fabulous co-author @shuaichenecon.bsky.social 's full thread below, but a few of my thoughts. First, I've spent lots of time focused on costs of gender-based violence. I'm now keen to think of how to help survivors. [1/5]
