Paper by UCLA Professor Yotam Shem-Tov featured in the Journal of Political Economy

The paper “The Effects of Combat Deployments on Veterans’ Outcomes” by UCLA Professor Yotam Shem-Tov and coauthors Jesse Bruhn, Kyle Greenberg, Matthew Gudgeon, and Evan K. Rose was featured in the August 2024 edition of the Journal of Political Economy. The paper argues that deployment cannot explain either the recent rise in disability payments, which is more likely driven by policy changes, or the surge in noncombat deaths, which is better explained by shifts in observable characteristics of soldiers.
