1000 low income adults were randomly selected to receive $1000/month for 3 years, with a control group receiving $50/month over that same period. Many of them had children in the household. How did it affect how they parented and their kids’ outcomes? www.nber.org/papers/w34040

As I am now handling papers at AEJ:Policy again, I want to encourage authors of papers that identify partial equilibrium effects to consider (in a rigorous manner) how they relate to policy effects or general equilibrium effects.

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring. The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)

Thank you for sharing, Lucie! Excited to present my paper—join us on Monday, 12/16, if you're interested!

I submitted two recommendation letters today, and I'm once again begging programs to eliminate meaningless ranking metrics and simply let me upload a letter. We can collectively decide to stop wasting each other's time.

We've created a starter pack for all of the economics journals on Bluesky. Please nominate other journals to join the list. go.bsky.app/4kR21vX

Hi #EconSky, Not sure if the Starter Pack party's over, but I've made an Econ Starter Pack of Starter Packs! 😄 It's a work in progress, so I may have missed some. Let me know if there's anything to add—DMs are open! Thanks for support @economista.bsky.social! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A few weeks ago, I spoke on a panel about publishing at the CSWEP’s CeMENT workshop. I wanted to briefly share some of that advice here.

Gracias for the RT'ing and liking it. As a BlueSky Exclusive reward (lol), allow me to share my Class notes: Lectures and homework, worksheets (with answers!), and much more for a class on causal inference taught at the master's level. sebastiantellotrillo.com/classes/rmda...

The IRS is testing free filing software this tax season for residents in 12 states. So of course tax prep companies like Turbotax poured tens of millions of dollars into lobbying against it. We don't need profit-driven middlemen making a buck off our taxes. www.npr.org/2024/01/29/1...
