New WP out with @foley_kelly and Donn. L. Feir that evaluates the labour market returns to active labour market programs for Indigenous populations! TL;DR? Thread ⬇️ 1/N

This paper has been around for awhile now, but Donn. L. Feir, Rob Gillezeau and I are happy it’s now out as an NBER working paper. Our recent revisions show that limited access to credit prevented Indigenous nations from adjusting to the loss of the bison over the 20th century.
