Our research with @derciodeassis.bsky.social, @arpitaghosh.bsky.social and Sonia Oreffice on non-fatal strangulation laws and IPH is cited as core evidence in a Members' Business Motion that will be debated before the @parliament.scot this Thursday, 8 Jan 2026:

Encouraging to see our research on non-fatal strangulation laws cited in the @parliament.scot #VAWG debate, noting US legislation has made strangulation a serious stand-alone criminal offence, which has been linked to reduced intimate partner homicide rates.

Revised WP:

-Non-fatal strangulation laws ⬇️ both female- & male-victim IP homicides (IPH).
-US states that adopt NFS laws: ⬇️ IPH rates (14–27%), ⬆️ IPV assaults classified as aggravated, ⬆️ arrests.
-Clearer legal framework stops escalation & save lives.

At last! 🎉 After years in the making, my paper with Manuel Fernandez & @marcogn.bsky.social is out as an IZA Discussion Paper.

We ask: Can better streets boost property tax compliance? 🚧💰 If so, why?

We answer this with an RCT in Mexico + a model of tax compliance.

🚨 New paper with Dércio de Assis, Arpita Ghosh & Sonia Oreffice: “Strangulation Laws Save Lives.” We build a unique dataset on US state laws criminalizing non-fatal strangulation (NFS) and estimate their effect on intimate partner homicide (IPH).
