Research underscores the positive effects of #EITCs & #ChildTaxCredits for Black women. These credits reduce poverty, help pay for essentials, and promote healthy child development, enhancing economic security for Black women and children. #BlackWomenBest https://t.co/xA43oMSp9x

Today's cool young researcher #EconTwitter is @MariaDieci @EmoryRollins who works on topics related to child development, family planning + malaria in LMICs https://t.co/K4V5YpfCKp

🗣️Join O-Lab & @urbaninstitute on May 23 for a webinar exploring how cash assistance can support low-income families with children – ft. a keynote from @SenatorBennet, fireside chat w/ @nataliefoster @MichaelDTubbs @JasonDeParle, new research, + more:

From the minimum wage to collective bargaining, “research on myriad dimensions of labor market policy point to clear implications for policy that could dramatically accelerate economic opportunity for Black workers.” New from @urbaninstitute

State policies, from earned income tax credits to Medicaid expansion, profoundly affect population health. In this Milbank Quarterly Opinion, @jennkarasmontez offers 10 recommendations to guide research on the effects of diverging state policies CC @ia4phs https://t.co/G7VfRNbcX9

TL;DR: recessions don’t drive secular trends in mortality, but variation in local labor markets matters - especially as a risk for suicide among men. DSA have distinct etiologies, upstream drivers & policy solns. Many thanks to @IRLEUCB @UCBerkeleySPH @argphi @StanfordEpiNews

What a cool interactive tool to explore occupational crowding & disparities in job quality metrics across the workforce, from researchers @urbaninstitute - check it out!

Revealed: how top PR firm uses ‘trust barometer’ to promote world’s autocrats

With Rania Gihleb @Lucastella28 and@Tianyi91 we discuss recent evidence on #robots, automation and workers' physical and #mentalhealth, and what we can learn from this research on the effects of #AI @BrookingsEcon @BrookingsInst

Great refresher on the framework underpinning most (if not all) of the empirical work on the determinants of health from a health production perspective. @JohnMullahy, as a "recently minted" scholar often tempted to estimate the hybrid function, consider this researcher reminded!

IRLE's Michael Reich reflects on the March on Washington 60 years later.

Today: Applications for our call for proposals for research investigating how state-level preemption policies affect racial justice & health equity are due at 3 pm ET. https://t.co/pxii7SziHl

"Well-being also provides a better explanation than socioeconomic measures for the racial trends in deaths of despair". Excellent @BrookingsInst report by @andreperryedu @jtrothwell on why we should look beyond traditional indicators of SES to understand trends in DSA mortality.
