New updated/overhauled paper 🧵: Governments and community orgs often provide similar services (think: nutrition, cash/emergency financial aid, housing services), but the specific populations served and goods provides differ. What happens to the charitable sector when gov services increase? 1/5
A 10% increase in access to free school meals reduces the amount of food that food banks distribute by 0.9%–1.4%, without significantly reducing donations, fundraising activity, or the amount of food available, from @kristaruffini.bsky.social, Ozturk, and Pekgun https://www.nber.org/papers/w33562

Honest Q: For the 700k DCians who don't have representation, ideas other than calling our (non-existent) elected officials?
(EHN's vote only counts in committee -- so when y'all call your reps, additional plea for DC statehood is much appreciated, though a lil further down the priority list)
