The results are quite sensitive in aggregate to needing the controls. Here's the replication of Figure 3, including the case w/o controls:

This paper forthcoming at the JOP provides evidence that rent control in Germany actually made tenants MASSIVELY *less* NIMBY.
This result was in the opposite direction of the authors' pre-registered expectations.
And the effect sizes are, truly, massive.
This brand new paper argues that part of the reason is because childcare is so expensive.
"A 10% increase in the price of childcare leads to a 5.7% decrease in the birth rate"

As I suspected, the key result looks pretty flimsy.

I'm a bit skeptical of this result.

"[We] provide the most comprehensive synthesis of the effectiveness of nudging."
"We find a small aggregated effect size."
"[Our results show] the urgent need for higher quality, preregistered meta-analyses to clarify the true impact [of nudging]."
Put differently, rent-control made people 37 percentage points more likely to support local-level construction. (Not a typo)
I'm very human!
Mistakes are human validation checks! :)

80% of a standard deviation. Sheesh.
The authors leverage two discontinuities to estimate the effect of rent control.
The first is in price cap cutoffs per sq. ft.
