58. Crime and Punishment: The Stats Behind Troop Deployment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A year has passed since the Trump Administration’s deployment of troops in DC and other cities in the country with the goal of reducing crime. The Center for American Progress recently released a study looking at this policy and so Brent, Nathan, and Steve looked at this study to see if there’s causation in the correlation and what further robustness checks are needed.
Millionaire Movement: Are Taxes Driving Millionaires Out of NY? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the nation wondering about the right amount to tax high income earners, the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) released a study reviewing millionaire acquisition by New York and other states to estimate how much tax revenue was lost by not being able to maintain the same share of these earners. Steve and Brent break down the methodology and see whether analysis holds water or if the connections are too tenuous.

Steve, Nathan, and Brent are joined by one of Steve’s co-authors, Carol Ma, to talk about a new solution they have developed for understanding significance within age discrimination contexts as well as the problems of trying to apply statistical tests where the assumptions of the test don’t match the parameters of the real world.
