We have a bit on that in section 4.2, we look at spillovers to other supermarkets nearby and other crimes - there’s not a lot of evidence on spillovers. The other bit to keep in mind - shoplifting increases everywhere over the time period - just a lot less strongly at Tesco than elsewhere.
This started out as Wednesday's undergrad dissertation. Supervising undergrad dissertations has always been one of the aspects of the job I like the most, so it’s particularly nice to see outcomes such as this! Very fun project to do as well!
Now in Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics (with Wednesday Croft): We consider the introduction of private security measures in supermarkets and their role in preventing shoplifting using a well-publicised change at Tesco.

Hatten wir auch mal - 17-18 damit die Leute hinterher in den pub konnten. Dann hatten ein paar von uns Kinder. Seitdem ist es 13:30-14:30 (UK hat allerdings bessere Kinderbetreuungszeiten, wenn auch sauteuer, speziell für <4-Jährige)
Always nice to see your government carefully engaging with evidence and coming up with nuanced takes that do a complex topic justice 🙄...
I wouldn't count on that given that numbers are already contracting across many subjects. My own and neighbouring disciplines are probably fine, but that's far from uniform...
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.

Oh my, looks like the new season is gonna be horror - Carolin discovers strange life forms in her house…
If the school FE captures things like peers, I would expect both to be “big”. My prior would be that the family FE is slightly bigger, but I’d be very surprised if the school FE wasn’t sizeable.
