NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.

1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities. 🧵 sites.google.com/view/nicolas...

Hello #Econsky 📉📈 I am starting to prep for a course on Data Science for Economists. What are your go-to materials? What is your favorite book? Does anybody have any suggestions? Want to teach something that is fun and practical to Emory 4+1 students!

#Econsky 📈📉:?What are your top recommendations for cool RCT papers with null effects? 📚 (I know there has been discussions about this before; I keep bookmarking and losing them. Maybe by starting this thread, I can easily locate them later). TIA!

Just came across this cool paper! "A Signal to End Child Marriage: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh." by Nina Buchmann, Erica Field, Rachel Glennerster, Shahana Nazneen, and Xiao Yu Wang. 2023. American Economic Review www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... #Econsky 📈📉

Sounds like folks are worried about losing data access during a possible government shutdown, so I quickly whipped up this Education Data Portal with all the major datasets on schools, districts, and colleges: educationdata.urban.org/documentation/

I just found a cool feature on here, a way to kind of get verified. For all who host their own domain (for example for a personal website), you can change your Bluesky handle to that domain name as described here by @davidwalsh.name: davidwalsh.name/bluesky-use-...
