Inside Prison: The Effects of a Blanket Ban on New Psychoactive Substances
Prisons are central institutions in the criminal justice system, yet limited data have impeded a systematic analysis of their internal dynamics. We compile a novel, comprehensive dataset covering all prisons in England and Wales to evaluate the effects of a UK-wide ban on new psychoactive substances—potent synthetic drugs designed to circumvent regulation and readily trafficked into custodial settings. We first document the diffusion of these sub…
Beyond Black and White: The Impact of Asian Peers on Scholastic Achievement
This paper examines the effects of Asian peers on non-Asian student achievement in New York City public schools. We use exogenous variation in the share of Asian students across cohorts within schools stemming from a fertility shock among the Asian population in the Chinese year of the Dragon.

Stronger evidence is detected in counties where laboratories producing methamphetamine were…
