Hi #Econtwitter, I am JMC working in Labor/Crime/ Public economics. My JMP is out! tinyurl.com/58ttbjcm With Katrine Vellesen Løken and Manudeep Bhuller, we study the impact of incarceration on the mental health of defendants and their family members in the Norwegian context. (1/n)

Excited to share that our paper on the history of immigration discourse in congress has now been published (open access) in PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
