Great thread summarising my new paper with @gmelios.bsky.social on the effect of disability benefits on employment in the UK!

George Melios @gmelios.bsky.social · 11d

🚨 New working paper alert!
As part of our Horizon Europe BENEFITS project, @bkleinteeselink.bsky.social and I study whether disability benefits necessarily discourage work — using the UK’s Personal Independence Payment (PIP) reform as a natural experiment.

Just out! ERNOP's practitioner summary of my paper with @gmelios.bsky.social, showing that 🇺🇸 Partisans reduce charitable giving by ~4.5 % when their own party is in power, as faith in government crowds out private help, whereas opposition to government motivates private giving.
