I feel like the correct move here is to tell the AI to mention something super obscure and specific in the referee report and then mention it to the editor in your cover letter?

Great to see my colleague @jimflynn9.bsky.social's work on HepC prescription access & public health outcomes (joint with @bartonwillage.com & my grad school classmate, Bethany Lemont) featured in the @nber.org Digest this morning! www.nber.org/digest/20250...

New RD in time strategy just dropped.

Silver lining: we have strong evidence from tariffs (and every other policy) that this administration doesn't count economics as a critical field

The Editorial Boards of leading health economics journals are issuing a Joint Statement of Principles on Editorial Independence. In these troubled times some scholars worry their work might suffer ideological attack. We reaffirm our commitment to unfettered scholarship. Please repost.

I decided to become a “fake man” in college when I ordered a frozen margarita at a Mexican restaurant and my friend said ‘real men don’t order frozen drinks’ Hard pass on a life without tequila slushies.

I felt this in my bones.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

The President is explicitly and specifically barred from personally taking foreign payments in our Constitution. Shame on every single person in Congress who, with the duty to defend our Constitution, chooses to abandon us.

Congratulations to all for their Faculty awards, but special congratulations to our own Riley Acton (@riacton.bsky.social) for being this year’s recipient of the James Robeson Junior Faculty Award for Research Excellence. miamioh.edu/fsb/news-eve...

Good news from UIUC. "All enrolled students at our university whose immigration statuses were previously terminated have now had these statuses reactivated and received a notification from International Student and Scholar Services."

We had a great time last night celebrating our senior award winners! As you can see, they're both eager to learn (they couldn't wait to start reading!) and a fun group. Congratulations to all! We're so proud of you. Details on the award winners will be posted over the next week

It’s one tariff, Michael, how much could it cost, 10%?!?

In this paper, we exploit the staggered rollout of nonexistent trade negotiations as a natural experiment. #EconSky

This should be easy. We’ll definitely have answers by September.

Farmer School of Business again ranked among top 20 public undergraduate business schools. miamioh.edu/fsb/news-eve...

Another successful @miamiecon.bsky.social thesis defense Friday in the books! Got to watch my student John present on time use effects of union representation & @jimflynn9.bsky.social’s student Jordan share her work on the local economic impacts of abortion clinics post-Dobbs

I call upon the administration and the government of El Salvador to prove that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and unharmed.

These are the kinds of heroes I want my kids to read about in school in a few years.

Congratulations to Emily Stellern on her MA defense, "Breaking Up and Buying In: How Divorce Laws Have Shaped Homeownership in the U.S.” She will be working at KeyBank as a Rotational Business Analyst after graduation.

This is the way.

There are many disturbing aspects regarding the unlawful deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. To me, the scariest part is the utter disregard for human life—the complete indifference to the fate of an innocent man. Today its Kilmar; tomorrow this can be any of us.

Free and fair elections should be a bipartisan issue, so why didn’t the left show up to this month’s ‘Stop the Steal’ rally?

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

It’s the only way to stop thought crime at its source.

Finally have that gender neutral title: Dr. King! Shoutout to my dissertation chair! We did it, Joe (Cimpian) @joecimpian.bsky.social

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Louisiana's hepatitis C "subscription model" treatment program increased detection and treatment rates while reducing mortality and liver transplants, from James M. Flynn, Bethany I. Lemont, and @bartonwillage.com https://www.nber.org/papers/w33617

Driving through rural Ohio today and it is actually WILD how quickly the Trump signs/flags/shrines have come down.

I am especially worried about the effects of these tariffs on these specific counties #EconSky #Tariffied

As a health economist it really feels more like Groundhog Day.

But the stock market is just…the numbers?

Fire up your shift-share IVs

ICE: is that an AVOCADO tattoo on your arm? Me: yeah, what’s the problem? *REDACTED* Me: *REDACTED* *REDACTED* *REDACTED* *REDACTED*

Identification relies on a parallel trends assumption, which says that absent the intervention the outcomes for the treatment and control groups would have evolved along a similar path (Snow, 1855)

daily reminder to take your meds, stay hydrated, and keep your OPSEC clean

We do not have a free country in this moment. When they can nab someone off the street because they don't like what they say, they can nab anyone.
