This week in research #120

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:

  • Büyükeren, Makarin, and Xiong (with ungated earlier version here) find that the full-scale launch of Tinder led to a sharp, persistent increase in sexual activity among college students, but with little corresponding impact on the formation of long-term relationships or relationship quality
  • Chollete et al. find that recreational marijuana legalisation by US states increases property crime, although the effect disappears when they control for state-specific time trends
  • Picault (open access) describes a method to introduce authentic group projects in senior undergraduate economics courses
