Two new papers, taken together, highlight the serious problem of unnecessary C-sections and the way they are reducing fertility in the US. C-section rates can vary as much as 10-fold across hospitals and unneeded C-sections may cause a 28-34% reduction in future fertility. 🧵.

Crowd-sourced genealogy data, machine learning and other methods are combined to create the Census Tree, a longitudinal dataset connecting people in the 1850-1940 US censuses, from @Kasey_Buckles, Adrian Haws, Joseph Price, and Haley E.B. Wilbert https://t.co/LeYUwWZW8n

Our graduate students put up some signage to celebrate Haley Wilbert's, @wilbert_haley, first-ever @nberpubs working paper.

New @nberpubs working paper from our own @Kasey_Buckles and graduate student @wilbert_haley, “Breakthroughs in Historical Record Linking Using Genealogy Data: The Census Tree Project.” https://t.co/KKGcS390yS

Kasey Buckles is more of an economist than a family genealogist, but she finds the latter "a little addicting." She worked with @BYU's Joseph Price to create the Census Tree, a digitized database to improve census linking from 1850 to 1940: https://t.co/inIZpJF1sf
