I find animations useful to teach metrics to undergrads. I believe it improves understanding to see what goes on. Here is a thread with my favorite GIFs, most of them are re-makes of stuff from #EconTwitter.

So proud of you Syeda ShahBano Ijaz!!

Humbled & in debt to the folks who shared their lives with & excited to say in September 2022, my book will be out! More details to follow. But for now a big thanks to Spīn Ghar for your producing such a great image for the cover ❤️✊🏽

I am excited to share that one of my Ph.D. dissertation chapters with my co-author Usman Ghaus has been selected in a nationwide essay competition organized by SF FED. We are grateful for the award and recognition. Thankful to my advisors for their feedback and support!

Very happy to share our blog on trade policy dynamics. It is based on our paper where we study the full path of China’s trade adjustment and estimate the degree of policy uncertainty about China’s access to US markets going all the way back to early 1970s voxchina.org/show-3-276.htm…

Congrats, @AriaGoles!!

Proud of you Syeda ShahBano Ijaz!!

Why is security so important anyway? First, because it appears to be a driver of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU). In preliminary (stalled) work with Fareed Zafar and Hina Usman, we map EPU against political violence. EPU responds to policies (as it is these days)...

Hi all. Took a break from Twitter, including deactivating my account, but jumping back on. I really miss following the new research from junior folks on #EconTwitter (and maybe a little gossip). Deactivating did cost me all my followers, so please share and follow!

Graduate students out there - apply for the program. It is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work and seek feedback from economists at SF FED.

Over the past couple weeks, my undergrad Econ of Crime class has been talking about research on policing. Here are the papers we've read & discussed:

Excited to read this book. On a side note, David Skarbek’s “The Social Order of the Underworld” strengthened my interest to empirically understand in-prison dynamics related to gangs.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is 🔑 to generating policy-relevant research. J-PAL affiliate Sandip Sukhtankar does just that, working not only with economists but lawyers, historians, & more. See how Sandip is advancing the field of political economy: j-p.al/ca7 #JPALat20

Today was my first day at CJARS as a post-doctoral research fellow. I am very excited to work with Mike Mueller-Smith 🏳️‍🌈 and the team. So thankful to my advisors Dr. Emily Owens David Neumark and Matt Freedman for their support throughout my PhD!

This a great thread about our new criminal fines paper! Thanks Crémieux for putting this together!

What are the effects of banning individuals from the social safety net? Do the bans change benefit receipt? Are there spillover effects onto the rest of the household? Check out our new CJARS working paper (with James Reeves, Kevin Schnepel, and C. Walker). Summary🧵1/N

If you care about crime, criminal justice, racial inequities, economic inequality, data, or evidence-based policymaking in the U.S., keep an eye out for our JOE launch next week. 3 years in the making. We (CJARS team) are incredibly excited to share this with you & the world!

This morning I'm poking around the #JusticeOutcomesExplorer, and guys... we built this ourselves... yet, I'm **stunned** at how incredibly well it turned out, easily exceeding my wildest dreams. I can't wait to hear what you think in <48 hours. Get excited! Launching May 1, 2024
