Está Tudo Dominado: O Politicamente Correto Infiltra e Conspurca a American Economic Review

Há algumas semanas mostramos que o politicamente correto, a ideologia socialista criada nos EUA, é um câncer intelectual que está contaminando a economia e infiltrando seus principais journals. Ilustramos o fato com um paper publicado na Econometrica. Agora temos algo que consegue a proeza de ser ainda pior, talvez o pior paper publicado na história da AER. O jabá politicamente correto socialista travestido de ciência com agenda política regulatória pretendendo-se moralizadora. Cuidado para não vomitar: Luca, Dara Lee, Emily Owens, and Gunjan Sharma. 2015. "Can Alcohol Prohibition Reduce Violence against Women?" American Economic Review, 105(5): 625-29. Abstract Violence against women is a critical problem across the world. In this paper, we exploit state and temporal variation in alcohol control in India to examine the impact of prohibition on alcohol consumption and violent crimes against women. We first use detailed household survey data to show that prohibition policies are associated with substantially lower rates of drinking among men and domestic violence. Next, we provide evidence that alcohol prohibition reduces aggregate violence against women in officially reported crime data. The results suggest that policies that restrict access to alcohol may help reduce gender violence.
