Interview with Seymour H. Levitt
No full textThough born in Chicago, Illinois, Seymour Levitt spent most of his early life in Colorado. He received his bachelors and medical degrees from the University of Colorado, in 1950 and 1954, respectively. After an internship at Philadelphia General Hospital and time in Stuttgart, Germany with the US Military as a General Medical Officer and a Ward Officer (1955-1957), he did residencies in internal medicine and radiology at the University of California at San Francisco (1957-1961). Dr. Levitt went on to hold all f the following positions: from 1961 to 1962, he was an instructor in radiation therapy at the University of Michigan; from 1962 to 1963, he was an assistant radiotherapist at the University of Rochester Medical Center; from 1963 to 1966, he was a radiotherapist and the chief of the Division of Radiation Therapy at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center; and from 1966 to 1970, he chairman of the Division of Radiotherapy and Oncology at the Medical College of Virginia. Dr. Levitt was recruited to the University of Minnesota as a professor in and head of the Department of Therapeutic Radiology in 1970 as well as chief of the Therapeutic Radiology Service, both of which he established. In 1997, an endowed chair in clinical radiation oncology was created in his name. He continues to be on the faculty of the University of Minnesota as a professor emeritus and also has served as an adjunct professor at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm since 2002.Levitt begins by describing his childhood and his decision to study medicine. He describes his time in the military. He discusses the choice to do two residencies (radiology and internal medicine) in San Francisco. He describes the changes that have occurred in therapeutic radiology over the course of his career. He discusses his tenure at other universities and the decision to come to the University of Minnesota to build the therapeutic radiology department. He describes using linear accelerators in place of cobalt machines at the University of Minnesota. He discusses the influence of foreign physicians on American radiation therapy and the conflicts among physicians treating people with cancers. He also discusses the culture of the medical school. He describes his involvement with the Bone Marrow Transplant Program and the Masonic Cancer Center. He discusses the implications of the ALG litigation on the Medical School and the University of Minnesota. He also discusses the sale of the University Hospital to Fairview Health Systems. He concludes with the impact of changing imaging technologies on his field.Tobbell, Dominique A.; Levitt, Seymour H.. (2012). Interview with Seymour H. Levitt.

Measurement Error, Legalized Abortion, and the Decline in Crime: A Response to Foote and Goetz (2005)
Full text linkDonohue and Levitt (2001) argue that the legalization of abortion in the United States in the 1970s played an important role in explaining the observed decline in crime approximately two decades later. Foote and Goetz (2005) challenge the results presented in one of the tables in that original paper. In this reply, we regretfully acknowledge the omission of state-year interactions in the published version of that table, but show that their inclusion does not alter the qualitative results (or their statistical significance), although it does reduce the magnitude of the estimates. When one uses a more carefully constructed measure of abortion (e.g. one that takes into account cross-state mobility, or doing a better job of matching dates of birth to abortion exposure), however, the evidence in support of the abortion-crime hypothesis is as strong or stronger than suggested in our original work.
Further Tests of Abortion and Crime: A Response to Donohue and Levitt (2001,2004, 2006)
Full text linkThe association between legalized abortion and crime remains a contentious finding with major implications for social policy. In this paper, I replicate analyses of Donohue and Levitt (2001, 2004, 2006) in which they regress age-specific arrests and homicides on cohort-specific abortion rates. I find that the coefficient on the abortion rate in a regression of age-specific homicide or arrest rates has either the wrong sign or is small in magnitude and statistically insignificant when adjusted for serial correlation. Efforts to instrument for measurement error are flawed and attempts to identify cohort from selection effects are mis-specified. Nor are their findings robust to alternative identification strategies. A convincing test of abortion and crime should be based on an exogenous change in abortion that had a demonstrable effect on fertility. Thus, I analyze changes in abortion rates before and after Roe to identify changes in unwanted fertility. I use within-state comparison groups to net out hard to measure period effects. I also follow Donohue and Levitt (2004) and average the effects of abortion on crime over 15 to 20 years of the life of a cohort to lessen the impact of the crack epidemic. I find little support for a credible association between legalized abortion and crime.
