"Does political conflict hurt immigration? Evidence from the South Korea–China THAAD dispute," by @himakun.bsky.social of @upenn.edu and Jongkwan Lee of Yonsei University. #China #SouthKorea #PoliticalConflict #Immigration #EconomicSanctions

I am happy to announce that our Econ. paper template (a.k.a “aea” extension) has been added to the @quarto.org article listing. I will soon update our github repo to include a more detailed instructions to use this template! Spread the words :) quarto.org/docs/extensi...

Okay, I started to make a "quarto-format" academic working paper that is often used in Econ. It is currently at a preliminary stage, so any comments/issues/pull requests are welcome! github.com/hchulkim/eco...

OTOH, I think it is now a perfect time to switch from LaTeX beamer to Quarto HTML slides.

Typst looks very promising, but I think I will stick to LaTeX until a smoother transition becomes available. I need some official Typst-version of "texreg" package in R to migrate. typst.app

I just migrated my website to Quarto. So far, it is amazing. Finally, I can write posts on my site with ease. hchulkim.github.io

News from #ASSA2025: There are only about 30 Black economists who received their PhDs after 2006 in economics departments. The share of economists who are Black has remained at 3% over the last 15+ years. The share of economists who are Hispanic has increased to 6% from 4% over the same timespan.

PhD program 1st-semester grades coming in. It seems my strategy of "thinking of coursework as a binding constraint (not as an objective function)" worked.

making DALL-E to make latex beamer title slide seems to be quite nice

So many things happened this year. Started my PhD, moved to the states, and had amazing time at Philly. I also updated my website (in case anyone is interested): hchulkim.github.io

It was a pleasure to present my working paper “The China Shock and Internal Migration” and attend other presentations at Midwest Trade Conference, Georgia Tech! I also enjoyed all the great scholars I met there. Hope to see them all soon. For now, get busy with PhD applications!

My first paper “The Well-being of Cities: Estimating Migration Attractiveness from Internal Migration across Korean Cities” just got accepted at Global Economic Review. As a busy Master student applying for 2024 fall Ph.D, I am glad to hear such nice news on the way. #econsky
