#GDRI_rep Update 8a: Major updates coming up over the next few weeks. 1st update: We reproduced "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" some time ago. The paper was then retracted by the editors of the Euro Econ Rev. Additional studies are connected (see diagram) 🧵

I now too have a "professional announcement." I have known it for quite some time now, but only from today on this is really, legally official: I am now Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor campus), @umich.edu

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths. But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty. My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.

We now have some data on the environmental impact per AI prompt: Gemini: 0.00024 kWh & 0.26 mL water ChatGPT: 0.0003 kWh & 0.38 mL ...the same energy as one Google search in 2008 & 6 drops of water. Seems to be improving, too: Google reports a 33x drop in energy use per prompt in a year. But...

AEA Statement on Dismissal of BLS Comm. "The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions."

Why do the jobs numbers get revised? our markets and policymakers want data NOW but employer data dribbles in over months 1st estimate is based on the 75% of employers who respond promptly Updates occur as more data rolls in: 95% response rate by final revision 1/N www.bls.gov/opub/btn/vol...

Wow. Research findings with p-values marginally less than 0.05 attract 60 to 110% higher Altmetric scores than those with p-values marginally above 0.05. p-hacking means more popular attention! p-hacking FTW!

Many junior scholars struggle with managing a research pipeline. So, academics: how do you do manage your pipeline? How many projects are you working on at one time? How do you know if you have too many/too few projects? Other tips that you have?

Discussions of "brain drain" often neglect the many channel by which emigration can boost human capital in origin countries. I find this figure wonderfully enlightening. Theoharides at #ABCDE2025. Here's a recent overview of the work in Science: johanneshaushofer.com/publications....

Econ instructors: considering running an RCT but unsure where to start? My new working paper (w/ @lizschroeder.bsky.social) can guide you. We walk you through all the steps to run an RCT: design, setup, implementation & analysis, w/ many examples along the way. 1/2 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

By all indications, last years economics job market was much tougher than any year since the pandemic. But all signs point towards an even worse job market coming up this season. Let me explain.

I'm on Cambridge's 87 bus right now, heading to the Royal Sonesta to hear some great Economics of Education talks as part of the #NBER Summer Institute. I'll try to live post as many as possible, so watch this thread! @nber.org #EconSky

I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on. Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts. 1/

Hey folks, Doug is here now too! He's a terrific researcher and worth a follow. @douglasharris9.bsky.social

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

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). 🧵
