Our paper on the recent decline in unintended births (UIB) is finally out in JHR! We find that UIBs fell 22% between 2007 & 2019, driven by less sex and more IUD use among those likely to have a UIB. W/ @luciegschmidt.bsky.social @mguldi.bsky.social jhr.uwpress.org/content/60/1...

Holy forking shirt balls "Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "

#AcademicSky An unexpected email from my deep grad school past reminded me about how that person helped save my career when someone was trying to destroy it. I got help because I talked to other women when I realized what was happening & they used the power they had to intervene 1/4

NIJ and other federal agencies have paused research funding, but @arnoldventures.bsky.social has not! Check out our open RFPs. We're looking for causal studies across a range of issues, including crime/criminal justice. www.arnoldventures.org/grantees

More & more people seem to be getting on here (yay!), so here’s a reminder that I have 2 starter packs of awesome women & nonbinary economists. Give them a follow! go.bsky.app/LqBPkQZ

Are there "go-to" articles on measuring race, measuring gender, and measuring sexuality?

1/8. You might have heard that it’s a bad idea to talk about (racial) inequality and/or equity-enhancing programs and policies. Over the past few years, both scholars and pundits have argued those messages undermine support for important policies. Well, that conclusion may be a bit premature.

The Society of Labor Economists has a mentoring program for early-career scholars. The deadline for this year's program (for Ph.D.s in 2020 and later) is February 14. Apply now! www.sole-jole.org/index.php?op...

We spent time thinking carefully about best practices/suggestions for the use of social media in Economics and the report is now out here: www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/co... #Econsky 1/n

As a journal editor for a few decades I find it pleasing to watch scholars mature. They eventually realize that journal refeering is not about how many papers they can knock down but how many they can lift up.

Great read by @nealemahoney.bsky.social for economists (or any academics) looking to have policy impact #econsky

Do contraceptive use and abortion behavior respond to income shocks? Yes. In new research we document that Danish women use oral contraceptives and abortions as a way to resude fertility after a reform reduced their child benefits. @ucph.bsky.social @malmlund.bsky.social

Help me get the word out, folks: Health Economics (the journal, not the field) is now live on BlueSky. Please follow the journal's account if you're so inclined - and also repost the announcement (for the same reason). Thanks!

Congressional Budget Office & Joint Committee on Taxation use different approaches to project the macro-economic impact of big changes in taxes -- and sometimes come up with different answers. Here's why www.brookings.edu/articles/how... Hutchins Center @brookings.edu

lol as I said on @npr.org back in 2022: "Economics is dope. It's too dope to not do. I will not stop being my dope self because you're uncomfortable. Go to therapy. Figure that out. That's not my problem!" 🤷🏿‍♀️ #economics #econsky www.npr.org/2021/07/14/1... bsky.app/profile/itsa...
