I’ve been awarded a small Lightspeed Grant to replicate empirical social science research. What research should I look at?
I’m a PhD economist with an interest in reanalyzing published research using different methods or data (eg. checking whether the results are robust to different regression models, rather than rerunning a lab experiment). I’ve looked at whether mayors in China are promoted based on GDP growth, the effect of racial violence on patenting, and the effect of medical marijuana legalization on crime. I’ve also done work on air pollution and mortality, the long-run impacts of the measles vaccine, and how tech clusters drive innovation.
