Surge of Student Suicides Pushes Las Vegas Schools to Reopen
Firmly linking teen suicides to school closings is difficult, but rising mental health emergencies and suicide rates point to the toll the pandemic lockdown is taking.
Palmer (2018) and Eid (2018) reaffirm the core findings of the Bell Curve using newer data sets, finding that IQ is a much better predictor of adult poverty than other measures often cited, like parental SES.

Pierce and Schott (2017) examine the link between trade liberalization and “deaths of despair.” Trade liberalization is measured by loosened import competition in the 1990s, leading to massive dumps of Chinese exports into the U.S. and declines in manufacturing employment. They find that areas exposed to more trade liberalization experienced significant increases in deaths from alcohol, drugs, suicide, etc. This is only seen in white working males.

Washington Post: “The Good Guys are the Hedge Fund Billionaires and Short Sellers.”
Levitt (2004) looks at possible reasons why crime sharply fell in the 1990s. He finds that mass incarceration, the ebbing crack epidemic, increases in the police force and legalized abortion accounts for nearly all of the crime drop. However, mass incarceration explains a majority of the contribution, with the other three factors playing lesser roles. And on the abortion issue, Joyce (2004) says it is likely incorrect, but doesn’t examine the other factors.

Conservative State Policies Damage U.S. Life Expectancy | Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion
Conservative state policies are killing Americans. Enacting more liberal state policies could raise life expectancy by >2 yrs, whereas enacting more conservative policies could reduce it by 2 yrs. Putting profits over people cuts lives short.

Hoynes et al. (2005) looks at the stubbornly high poverty rate in America. They find that the significant rise of single-mother households since the 1970s explains almost all of the rigidity in the poverty rate, and anti-poverty programs explain almost none of it

To test Spearman’s Hypothesis, which is that IQ differences between ethnic groups is due to how well a test measures general intelligence, Warne (2016) examines correlations between student Advanced Placement test scores (less of an intelligence measure) and PSAT scores (a strong intelligence measure). His findings are consistent with Spearman’s Hypothesis for white-latino and white-black differences. It’s inconsistent with white-Asian and inconclusive for white-native American
