Research
editIn 1997, when he was a graduate student at the University of Chicago, Mustard co-authored an influential study with John Lott, examining the effects of right-to-carry laws, which make it easier to obtain a concealed handgun license. The study concluded that these laws reduce violent crime rates, without increasing accidental firearm deaths.[3][4] This study has been criticized by other researchers, including Ian Ayres and John J. Donohue.[5]
With Earl Grinols, Mustard has also researched the economic effects of gambling on crime, jobs, and tax revenues.[6][7]
