I signed an open letter from economists supporting Fed independence & Gov. Lisa Cook. Add your name by Monday: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... | Letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This letter is not particularly controversial in its assertions and the topic of central bank independence is extremely important. Takes about 4.5 minutes to read and sign (if you agree.) Looks like the number of signatories is up since Tatyana's post, but Economics needs YOU!

Delighted that this double podcast where I speak with @marthajbailey.bsky.social and @gtwodtke.bsky.social speaks with Natasha Quadlin is now live, where we cover both the progress made in gender inequality in the last 60 years as well as reasons for persisting differences.

Sixty years after equal pay laws and the women’s movement transformed opportunities for women, gender inequality persists in new forms. Today’s episode features @UCLA Professors @marthajbailey.bsky.social and Natasha Quadlin. Listen every other Monday: Website: bit.ly/3YdiCkj

Tracking in US high schools benefits all students: on average, students gain $1000 in earnings. The introduction of AP courses also benefits lower achievement students who do not take AP, presumably through more targeted attention from teachers. #EconSky
