🚨 Our paper on drug violence and Central American emigration was accepted in JDE! Drug violence raises intentions and preparations to emigrate to the US. Evidence suggests this operates through worsening local economies, not insecurity alone. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jdeveco.20…

This article was a mixed methods journey, to say the least! You’ll find text scaling, latent class analysis, interviews, case studies for external validity, etc. etc. I’m grateful that it received an honorable mention from QMMR last year for best qualitative evidence, as well.
