Current research has documented minimal little changes in crime resulting from mass deportation policies in the deporting country (Hines & Peri, 2019; Miles & Cox, 2014). I propose that this result may be driven by heterogeneous effects of deportation policies on different crime types. My empirical approach uses an event study to examine different trends over time for various crime types and models the impact of the U.S.' Secure Communities program on legal and criminal employment.
We assess the impact of industrial policy on economic growth and future innovation, focusing on China’s semiconductor industry. In 2015, the Chinese government unveiled "Made in China 2025." The plan aims to transform the country into a global leader in high-tech manufacturing (particularly through semiconductor production).
We examine China's strategy to enhance its position in the global semiconductor industry. Amid rising trade tensions and increased industrial policy planning, both China and the United States have committed substantial investments to secure a reliable supply of domestically produced chips. The note discusses the prospects of China's efforts in this area.
I examine the effects of flooding on diarrhea and acute respiratory infection after Typhoon Labuyo in the Philippines. Using ArcGIS and NASA satellite data, I identified each household’s distance from the nearest flooded area. I constructed a spatial regression discontinuity design, comparing children exposed to flooding to children living just outside the flood border. My research contributed a novel flooding measure, as previous studies relied on government reports.
