I'm visiting my wonderful coauthor & friend Yves Zenou at Monash in February. I'll be in Melbourne for 3 weeks from Feb 9-28. Would love to connect with new people there 😃 I'll then spend a week at my sister's in Armidale, NSW. Really miss my nephew & niece! So excited about 🇦🇺

Learned today that you need a visa to transit through the US even if you remain in the airport's controlled space for a connecting flight within 3-4 hours. Life is already difficult with visas required for destination countries; this adds another cost. Weak passports = hell! 1/3

Field Experiments have matured from academic curiosity to bona fide contributor to knowledge in the past few decades. Yet, the political economy of their deployment in government remains ill-understood. We provide insights in a new working paper, available here: ideas.repec.org/p/feb/natura...

#AEA email says the conference will take place in hotels affected by strike, but will people join online & avoid crossing the picket line? If that's the case, then I don't see a point of flying from London to SF & be forced to cross a picket line, only to end up at a conference with no one #econsky

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc. In a word: Harvard. Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard. 🧵

Thanks for the summary Rachael! One big implication of the paper is that the link between research and policy cannot be taken as given, and needs to be rigorously studied -- this is what I do in my current and future work. Read more here: www.michellerao.com/research #EconJMP #EconSky

Hello #EconSky! 📢Excited to share my #JMP 📢 It provides a missing piece to understand how people react to income taxation. Tldr: By changing tax pre-payments governments can - with almost no costs - increase perceived work incentives of secondary earners and reduce the gender gap. Thread below👇🧵

I am supporting three phenomenal students on the econ job market this year from U Michigan. Let me tell you about them briefly, but read their papers or reach out if you want to know more. These are three amazing people doing fascinating work. (1/4)

@alexballyk.bsky.social studies how we make decisions & the advice we work with. @yoramhalevy.bsky.social says: “Alex is a very independent researcher, an excellent experienced teacher who is self-motivated to conduct innovative research.” newsletter.economics.utoronto.ca/making-advic... #EconSky

Tracking in US high schools benefits all students: on average, students gain $1000 in earnings. The introduction of AP courses also benefits lower achievement students who do not take AP, presumably through more targeted attention from teachers. #EconSky
