🛑JMP Thread🛑 Hello #EconTwitter! I'm an applied micro candidate on the 2023-24 #EconJobMarket! My JMP (w/ Yeon-Koo Che and YingHua He) studies how to infer applicants' true preferences from school-choice data when they may not truthfully report their preferences.

Next up: @DarioL_Econ Why did the financial sector grow so massively after the 1980s? In his JMP, @DarioL_Econ links it to the decline of the labor share and higher inequality. Higher K share generated more inequality, and a portfolio allocation problem for investors.

Next up: Jack Chapel Many Medicaid eligible adults are not enrolled, in part due to information frictions. Jack’s JMP -> social networks help facilitate program take-up – increasing program enrollment & salience among one’s friend network increases own probability of take-up.

Next up: Hayun Song JMP: a Bayesian approach for estimating large conditional precision matrices within the DCC framework instead of taking the inversion of conditional covariance matrices. He considers the estimators in the high-dimensional multivariate volatility applications

Next up: Jingyi Fan (Jingyi Fang) Her JMP studies how a migration relaxation policy can have distributive impacts across firms and lead to a decline in labor misallocation. dropbox.com/scl/fi/hmbpn2a…

Next up: Wei Zhou How does reputation affect us? In Wei's JMP, he finds that it impacts us in two distinct ways: a good reputation provides us with a wider range of choices and increases our visibility. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/1AJRu0d…

Next: Weizhao Huang His JMP studies China's "green finance policy" and its influence on firm behavior in green finance pilot zones. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/1-GQLtq…

Oh, this very interesting paper by Zach Ward has been finally published in the AER.

Really important piece on cross-state occupational licensing and how it limits the potential of teletherapy. I'm biased since it is by my wife, but would think it is great regardless! May be some good econ papers that could be written on this, PhD students should check it out!

New: "Escaping import competition in China" by Ana Cecília Fieler (Yale Department of Economics) and Ann E. Harrison (Haas School of Business). How do firms respond to increased import competition? doi.org/10.1016/j.jint… 1/2

This is not the UK that attracted me when younger, the country that gave me many opportunities. I didn't have a clue about what a PhD was, but thanks to the amazing people I met here in the UK as student and to my family support, I did it. I am really sorry, I am speechless.

Forthcoming in AEJ: Economic Policy: "How Do You Say Your Name? Difficult-To-Pronounce Names and Labor Market Outcomes" by Qi Ge and Stephen Wu. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

I love my PhD at USC Economics and feel fortunate to land a job at the Minneapolis Fed alongside wonderful colleagues in the Quantitative Fellow Program starting this July.

Congratulations to our USC Economics and USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts & Sciences PhD economics graduates. We are so proud of you!

Wow. (It's not clear that the boost to downstream outcomes like flyouts could hold in long-run equilibrium, or that added visibility really is the mechanism driving it. But still, pretty striking, QED!)

I'm glad to be in beautiful DC for #AERE2024 to present my paper on wildfires and pop. growth - I really appreciate all the opportunities for connecting via the coffee meet-ups and dine-arounds!

It's been too long since I've made a substantive tweet, so here goes. At the following Dropbox link you can access the slides and Stata files for my recent talk at the Stata UK meeting: dropbox.com/scl/fo/50imn36… It's taken me awhile to see connections among various estimators.
