CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

Very interesting #EconJMP

I've seen Hannah present and she does great stuff. Check out the thread.

Wow, this is a really interesting #EconJMP

This is really helpful and searches way faster than I expected.

Evergreen tweet

Our new review paper, "A Guide to Climate Damages," is an attempt at unifying three kinds of papers: “hot weather lowers corn and soy yields” with “farmers can alter their crop choice” and with “there’s a lot of trade in agricultural products” 1/4 www.nber.org/papers/w34348

Congratulations @sheilaolmstead.bsky.social @mfranevans.bsky.social Wes, Jiameng, Lala, and Margarita!

The proof is trivial

Congrats on the great article @tina-andarge.bsky.social @davidkeiserecon.bsky.social, Gabe, and Dahlia.

In good news, Chaelo is here and it's glorious! (Chaelo = solo album by Chaeyoung of Twice.) It's quirky indie stuff from a kpop star, very cool.

This is a personal attack

About halfway through RF Kuang's new book Katabasis and loving it so far. It's about two PhD students in academic magic who travel to Hell to get a reference letter from their recently deceased advisor. I think the author MAY have seen some toxicity in her academic journey.

Looks amazing!

Not quite the last, but over the weekend this Godzilla took a tail swipe at my kids before I took the pic. Crime is out of control!

After what feels like a long time, Chen-ti Chen, Gabe Lade, John Crespi, and @davidkeiserecon.bsky.social have their paper on CAFOs and size-based regulation accepted at the AJAE. (1/5) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

(warning: non-economic and content) I cannot believe that Twice just broke out Icon at Lollapalooza.

Rachael's blog is so great! They are a terrific writer and so smart--I always learn things when I read the blog. Subscribe today!

On Monday, I started a "simple" scraping task. On Tuesday, I enlisted an RA's help. We finished on Wednesday around lunch. I will learn nothing from this.

Great resources for young scholars in econ!

Very pleased that our local projections dif-in-dif paper is now out in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. Joint with @dgirardi.bsky.social, Jorda, and Taylor. It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have). 🧵

Is US air pollution regulation too lenient? 🏭💸 We find marginal benefits of pollution control exceed marginal costs by >10×. New evidence from dozens of US pollution offset markets. 📄forthcoming at AER, w/ Reed Walker: joseph-s-shapiro.com/research/IsA... 1/🧵

Hello #econtwitter community: if any of you has been teaching any of my papers, would you mind shooting me a DM? I would hugely appreciate that 🙏 and thanks in advance!

I'd love to fund studies of interventions that reduce real-time pollution exposure, in the US, on outcomes related to violence and criminal behavior. (There is strong evidence that such exposure increases violence in real time; the next question is how much interventions can mitigate this effect.)

The commercials for Million Dollar Baby sure made it seem like a uplifting story. Children of Men wasn't my best decision either.
