Come be a razorback! We are hiring two positions this year at the U of Arkansas! Macro/General Equilibrium: www.aeaweb.org/joe/listing.... Applied Micro: www.aeaweb.org/joe/listing.... Northwest Arkansas is consistently ranked one of the best places to live. Here's some highlights!

Thrilled to share the cover of my upcoming book, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours. @flatironbooks.bsky.social, Sept 23! Containing 15 years of research & my personal story. Preorder links, book talks, & newsletter here! corinnelow.com/book

For my friends, anything; for my enemies, the law

What does the anti-vaccine movement get from people not getting vaccines? Like say we all don’t. What is in it for them?

So does it only apply to lottery and not lottery exempt sectors? Who knows?! Tune in next week for the next episode of Policy by Tweet!

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

i just want to convey the depth of my appreciation to our colleagues, in the broad sense, in the american and UK university systems, for continuing to teach the fact that trans people exist even though you are all going to be ceaselessly punished alongside us for it. thank you.

One theory is that Trump is a shrewd wannabe authoritarian taking calculated steps to consolidate power Another is that he’s always been thin-skinned and driven by personal grievances, but now has the powers of the presidency and he doesn’t care about the long-term damage to the country

Just a reminder of what comedians are allowed to say without having the FCC threaten to pull a broadcast license

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

I lived through Berlusconi 2. First thing first, he had 2 journos and a comedian fired from RAI.

A great listen!!!

I enjoyed this conversation; here's the summary of what we talked about:

Let’s talk money y’all, in our latest episode of The Hidden Curriculum We (@ajhollingsworth.bsky.social) talk with @profnoto.bsky.social o.bsky.social on negotiations: What, When, Why and How? We thank Matt for his candor and transparency on this topic!

A huge thank-you to @ckronenberg.bsky.social and @sebastiantt.bsky.social for organizing this year’s Economics of Mental Health Workshop. It is great to hear so many new papers and connect with people from all over.

#EMH2025 indeed, great first day with interesting sessions and an excellent keynote by Molly Schnell on a lovely campus with great weather. Looking forward to tomorrow.

🏆 We have our winner of the 2nd Standard Error Best Paper Prize at #EMHW25: “Spousal Relationship & Adolescent Psychosocial Health” by @sedai.bsky.social et al. Their RCT finds that couples' counseling for parents boosts girls’ confidence, schooling & mothers’ mental health. tinyurl.com/2b8hcd5j

Many thanks to the organizers @ckronenberg.bsky.social & @sebastiantt.bsky.social of @cinchessen.bsky.social and @uvabatten.bsky.social for hosting!

2025 Workshop successfully concluded with nice sessions, a great keynote by Kosali and the best paper prize. Thanks to @sebastiantt.bsky.social for hosting and Arnold Ventures for making it possible. Safe travels to everyone.

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

Lovely way to end the first day! #EMHW2025

Lovely way to end the first day! #EMHW2025

We are starting the workshop! #EMHW2025

Excited to pre-conference for tomorrow’s ESSEN economics of mental health conference! Hosting it here in Charlottesville! @uvabatten.bsky.social @ckronenberg.bsky.social

Has someone tried this?

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

The 2024 uninsured rate held steady at 8%, statistically unchanged from 2023 & 2022, according to Census’ Current Population Survey (CPS). But looking ahead, 15 million more ppl will be uninsured under the R megabill and other policies. See our live blog on today’s Census data: tinyurl.com/bdfadufc

An unusual academic conversation with @sebastiantt.bsky.social and @ajhollingsworth.bsky.social about the mechanics of conducting research with implementing organizations. (Recorded in 2022, so it's a bit dated. Referee 2 wanted a lot of changes before the podcast got published)

A must for development economists! Thanks for such a great episode!

If the government can infinitely detain someone based on their job, what stops Mamdani from hiring all of DSA to the NYPD and scooping up every Wall Street trader and CEO and holding them until they can be processed? and oops we forgot to hire more judges.

Another example of civil society censoring itself, creating a simulacrum of normality when things are not normal

A couple more thoughts on this. There is exactly one crime defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason. The first definition is levying war against the United States. Trump is explicitly threatening that. U.S. soldiers are not only permitted, they are *obliged* to refuse an order to commit treason.

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

Today, I learned that not only one should set seed, but also set sort seed in case they are doing something that orders things * set seed 12233 * set sortseed 12345

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this

Really excited for this week’s episode! We (@ajhollingsworth.bsky.social ) talk with ‪@mushfiq-econ.bsky.social‬ on how to work with large organizations and governments to implement research and policy.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Stares in the American Revolution

Our latest episode of The Hidden Curriculum dives in with Dr. Sandile Hlatshwayo @femmeeconomics.bsky.social on pulling the curtain on what is like to be an economist at the International Monetary Fund and a former Senior Economist at the Council of Economic Advisors.

Honestly this feels like a constitutional crisis. *Powell needs to issue a quick statement pushing back. *Will Trump try to use force to bar Cook from working? *Assuming we get to litigation, will SCOTUS fold and go along with Trump's for "cause" rationale? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-uses...

FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.

Updated this piece to reflect that Trump said he has fired Lisa Cook, something the Supreme Court said he does not have authority to do.

Immediate presidency-ending scandals, for anyone from Truman onward, now happening daily. This is what happens when the far right authoritarian party has already captured Congress. Every check in our system boils down to Article I reigning in Article II, & there is no chance of that happening now.

NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby. This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday). What the hell is happening to the US? (🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)
