Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (a quiet week, as preparing for my Professorial lecture took up far too much of my attention):
- Wright and Nguyen (open access) have a Treasury Analytical Note on the effect of taxes and benefits on household incomes in New Zealand in 2018/19 which, among many other results, shows how much the benefit and transfer system reduces inequality
- Kirchmaier, Langella, and Manning (open access) find that crime tends to happen close to the offender’s residence because criminals face a high cost of commuting
- Granato et al. (open access) look at the impact of the Erasmus study abroad programme in Europe, and find a positive and significant impact on the final graduation marks of undergraduate students, although somewhat weirdly this effect is larger if the student studies abroad at a university that is lower quality than their home university (more evidence on the benefits of study abroad, to sit alongside this)
