Jacobs authored the study with Samuel Owusu of UM’s Education Policy Initiative, Sam Trejo of Stanford University and Gloria Yeomans-Maldonado of the University of Texas.

Reading achievement also declined among Flint students after the water crisis, but those decreases were less than those in math. Jacobs said that standard deviation means Flint children fell four months further behind their same grade peers in the comparison districts.

As the U.S. Supreme Court seems poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, University of Michigan experts say reducing access to abortion will likely have steep economic costs. The study compared financial outcomes of women who were or were not able to get an abortion. “When the abortion denial happened, the women who were denied the abortion experienced a large spike in negative financial consequences,” Miller said. Supreme Court justices considered the economic impact of overturning Roe v. Wade when Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch argued there is “no sound evidence that women’s advancement depends on abortion” in an October brief. With an existing “labor supply crunch,” Miller said, an abortion ban would only make this worse.
