Donohue collaborated with Nobel Prize Winning Economist James Heckman to create a landmark study that analyzes the impact to federal discrimination policies in improving the economic standing of blacks during the 1960s.
He as well as University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt produced a series of papers that explored what extent legalization of abortion in 1970s — which substantially decreased the number of unplanned births–led to a decrease in crime rates in the 1990s. In the words of Foote & Goetz (2008) their 2001 study, they made significant errors in the way they evaluated their results, and, once the errors were fixed, there was no connection between crime and abortion. Donohue & Levitt responded to the criticism of Foote &Goetz within the exact issue of Quarterly Journal of Economics in the issue it was published. They said, “Correcting our mistake does not alter the sign or statistical significance of our estimates, although it does reduce their magnitude.” They also offered further evidence to support an adverse effect the legalization of abortion had on criminality. This research was made famous through the book Freakonomics.
Donohue was president of the American Law and Economics Association for 2012 and was co-editor of the American Law and Economics Review from May 2006 through August 2012.
