🚨New Publication Alert🚨 Erin Yetter & I have a new paper in SEJ! Teaching evaluations are widely used in U.S. campuses for reviews & promotions, but research shows they’re biased by factors like weather, treats, & course difficulty. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

What are *your* stakes in Trump's on-again-off-again battle with Fed Chair Jay Powell? Let's dig into a pretty interesting natural experiment that I recently presented as part of my MSNBC segment, #TheProfessorIsIn

I made a pit stop on my way to #ashecon2015

Fact check: Unless he's also suspended the Laws of Mathematics, pretty sure this can't be true.

Have you ever wondered how many new laws Congress actually enacts? It turns out that a great majority of their time is spent revising old laws or passing resolutions. A great website called Govtrack.us that has all sorts of statistics on congress' productivity. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

Have you ever wondered, "When would I use a stacked percentage bar chart?" I know you wrestle with this question daily! 🤣 My latest post on #datavisualizations shows you one example where it may come in handy. Birth order and expected childhood outcomes. prof-fernandez.github.io/posts/2025/0...

In the new Quinnipiac poll Dems in Congress are underwater among Democrats:

Bonus update! Choropleths are still visually distorted and overrepresent land, so we can instead use points that are sized by population. I added an example at the end to show one way to do this with {sf}'s magical st_centroid() #rstats www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Thank you IPUMS!!

So BRFSS appears to be down. I imagine/hope that someone has been collecting these data just in case.

New Blog Post: Pyramid Plots I use IPUMS data to graph Female-Male personal income gaps by age for econ majors. #datavisualization #EconGames #teachecon #econmajors prof-fernandez.github.io/posts/2025/0...

Alumnus Michael Voltmer, Econ Alumn from @UofLbiz Shares World Series Experiences and Strategies. I love seeing these success stories. business.louisville.edu/major-league... #teachecon

Here's a blog post about the Sankey Chart. Sankey charts show flows from a source to a target (eg firm revenues = source, various cost/profit = targets). I use the Sankey chart to map econ majors into occupations. #datavisualization prof-fernandez.github.io/posts/2025/0...

Playing with Sankey Charts and R. I used the 2023 ACS to map what industries Econ majors get employed in.

Around 1 in 5 people aged 25-34 live with a parent. This is up from less than 1 in 8 in the mid-2000s. The “Hotel of Mum and Dad” has become more popular but why? And who is benefitting from or giving intergenerational support in this way? Our new @theifs.bsky.social report takes a deep dive. 1/

Throughout American history, immigrants have consistently had similar or lower incarceration rates than US-born citizens, say researchers at Stanford, Princeton, Northwestern, and UC Davis. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/cha...

Hi! ECE & policy folks: I'm looking for a postdoc to join our (really terrific) SEE-Partnerships team, doing research on ECE access & workforce issues! Please spread the word! uva.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/UVAJobs/job/...

We are becoming extremely anti-social - working from home - watching videos alone - staying single - ordering meals for 1. Fantastic article by @dkthomp.bsky.social @theatlantic.com One addition: it’s not just the US; the world is becoming anti-social 🌏 www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

This short film is breaking the internet in my circles. It describes the changing culture in Puerto Rico as State side Americans move to the island to avoid federal taxes. A bittersweet film with beautiful imagery. youtu.be/gLSzEYVDads

It was a great feeling to receive @asheassa.bsky.social Service Award. Favors in academia should be inter generational. We all received help to get where we are. When you are able it is time to reach back and help pull someone else over the hurdle. #ASSA2025

I hope more researchers disaggregate Hispanics into subgroups when their outcome variable and policy interacts with immigration story.

New published paper announcement with @jayjayawardhana.bsky.social. "Impact of medical and recreational cannabis laws on inpatient visits for asthma" doi.org/10.1111/1475...

The deadline for ASHEcon 2025 has been extend to Dec. 18th. I am the area coordinator for Health Equity. Send me your health disparities, geographic disparities, and discrimination papers. Show me you do more than just use race or ethnicity as a control in your regression. #ASHEcon2025

I am still looking for one more paper. Let me know if you have a disability paper and would like to join us.

We're working a new mentorship program for women in economics to gain confidence + leadership in nature to translate to other areas where we are under-represented, dm us if interested (mentor or mentee) and stay tuned for demand surveys @carlyurban.bsky.social

Thank you for the shoutout @EconHappyHour. I like to thank @wootenomics.bsky.social for recommending Steal like an Artist. econhappyhour.substack.com/p/which-econ...

Looking to create a session at #ASHEcon2025 on disability. It would fall under either Health and Development or Child and Infant Health. I need two papers. @zoemclaren.bsky.social @shooshan.bsky.social can you help amplify? Also, I am the Health Equity Chair, so send in your health equity papers.

What a great couple of days #SEA2024. Looking forward to Tampa next year.

Great Dinner with the American Society of Hispanic Economists #Presente! #SEA2024

57 years teaching economics @uoflbiz.bsky.social It's a common occurrence when I talk with business leaders in Louisville that someone asks "Is Prof. Nelson still teaching?" He has had multiple generations of students in his class. We are all better for it. Enjoy retirement John.

Love this! It is good to see familiar faces involved in what will be a great event. Plus Charlottesville is beautiful in the Fall.

Health Economists, it is that time of year again to submit your papers to the ASHECON conferece. I am the Health Equity area chair. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 11, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. ASHEcon will be in Nashville 22-25 www.ashecon.org/2025-nashvil...

Everyone needs a third place. Home is one place and Work is a second place. What is your third place? Mine is on the mats.

I am sure that one of you beautiful people out there already have list of pop economics books. Can you share with me your list? Things like: Freakonomics, Naked Economics, Undercover Economist, Money: the True story of a made up thing, etc. #EconSky #TeachEcon
