New blog out on clustering in natural disaster damages!

Can’t think of anything that’d make 15 year old me prouder than knowing that at 33 I’d be watching the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest from a dunkin

This week I: 1) discussed a paper 2) climbed a mountain #WFA

Your thirties are all about getting terrible acid reflux while you’re at a trampoline park for a bachelor party

Some pictures really are worth 1000 words

The hora is the purest form of moshing

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

1) What’s happening to federal employees is a travesty 2) Hey I know him that’s my friend on MSNBC!!!

It’ll be interesting to see what this looks like. Also surprising to see something like this coming out of the “anti-socialism” party www.reuters.com/markets/weal...

Any real estate people on here have any sources/insights on the differences between the ZHVI and the corelogic HPI? #EconSky

I love how the njtransit part of Penn station is filled with messaging that Jersey is a place worth spending time in, they’re truly doing gods work

Looking forward to traveling to SF this week to present my paper “Household Credit and Spending Under Usury Limits” at ASSA!

Amount of any settlers of catan game I spend standing up: 90% Amount of any other board game I spend standing up: 0%

I'm currently building a starter pack on a critical topic: the role of finance in driving climate resilience, mitigation, and a circular economy. Investors, financial experts, development banks, researchers, innovators: who’s leading the charge in this space? Give me your top recommendations!

Got the same fake recruiting spam text three times in an hour so finally decided to respond with this

Got AEA & ASSA emails this morning abt hotel workers striking in SF? Want to figure out what it means & what your options are? See this analysis @shirkandsteal.bsky.social @jennifercohen.bsky.social & me, & our call to support 3 small ASSA policy changes #EconSky aaronsojourner.org/hotel-worker...

Serious question: if you post on Bluesky what’s it called? I’ve been using the word tweet but obviously this is incorrect

Day 2 visiting @newyorkfed.bsky.social! Working with @leeseltzer.bsky.social on a new project relating to evictions and foreclosure and looking forward to meeting with a talented group of RAs.

I got to know Bhavyaa when she interned at the New York Fed a couple years ago. She has a super interesting job market paper, I encourage everyone to take a look!

go.bsky.app/5U14C7z just learned about starter packs and I think it’s such a cool feature! I made one with researchers in Climate Econ and Finance. It’s short so please let me know if you’d like to be added!

Got the ball rolling on a Fed Economists starter pack go.bsky.app/GudXeoo Fed economists, let me know if you’re on Bluesky and I’ll add you

www.newyorkfed.org/research/sta... Excited to share a new staff report with Jacob Kim-Sherman (who is applying to PhD programs, keep your eyes out admissions committees!) We study the implications of the tendency for natural disasters to cluster across space and time for economic research #EconSky

Seems like this could be a pretty huge deal, excited to read the paper eventually published on it in ten years!
