Preschoolers get sick frequently, and may expose their infant siblings to severe respiratory infection. @meltemdaysal.bsky.social (Univ. of Copenhagen), Hui Ding (Fudan), @maya-rossin-slater.bsky.social (Stanford) & Hannes Schwandt (@sesp-nu.bsky.social) on the consequences: youtu.be/WmRM2RUx_gU

Over 125 economists signed the open letter calling on the President, Congress, and the American public to uphold the principles of Federal Reserve independence and not remove Lisa Cook without due process. There's still time to sign! And please share. #EconSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper: @meltemdaysal.bsky.social, Hui Ding, @maya-rossin-slater.bsky.social and Hannes Schwandt study the spread of respiratory illnesses among children and the magnitudes of externalities on younger infant siblings over the short and long-run. www.rfberlin.com/network-pape...

Marika Cabral & I just finished our “Successfully Navigating Your PhD” workshop for women/non-binary PhD students in health econ and health policy. This was the 5th workshop I’ve done (and the 2nd one with Marika focused on health)—I learn something each time! Thank you to the mentors and students!

This is awesome! My own health econ course draws inspiration from both Matt and Tal—Matt generously shared a syllabus with me many years ago and Tal sent me his problem sets. Super excited that they’ve now teamed up to write a book to encourage more students of health economics!
