Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Fumarco and Groero (open access) describe a Stata package that reduces a dataset down to just those variables that are used in a particular .do file (useful for creating replication packages while minimising data bloat)
- Cox (open access) describes three Stata commands that creates a new dataset of the quantiles, percentiles, or confidence intervals for a particular variable or result (if you've ever needed to do this, you will know how frustrating it is)
- Yarashov, Baryshnikova, and Kakhkharov find that military expansion exerts a significant negative impact on fertility across 15 post-Soviet countries between 1992 and 2022
- Chatterjee, Dimova, and Ojha (open access) find, using a correspondence study in urban India, that equally qualified single mothers are much less likely to receive interview callbacks than unmarried women without children, married women, and married mothers
- Charness et al. (with ungated earlier version here) provide a convincing argument of the virtues of lab experiments in economics
- In a companion piece, Gneezy examines the principles of experimental economics
- Wang finds that China's policy to limited young peoples’ access to online video games did not produce detectable effects on academic performance, study time, or health
- Pritchett and Viarengo (open access) demonstrate that ad hoc poverty lines, including the World Bank's poverty lines, are far too low to be plausible candidates for an inclusive global poverty line
