Nebraska Economics has three great job candidates on the market this year! Here is a short thread (in alphabetical order) to tell you about our candidates and their work. Follow the links for more details!

Ashley Erceg's job market paper uses linked administrative and survey data to study a child care tax credit. She finds that subsidizing care can have lasting impacts on mothers’ labor-market outcomes, even after their children reach school age. sites.google.com/view/aerceg

Kyle Kopplin’s job market paper leverages a unique county-level dataset to generate new evidence that property taxes are capitalized into housing prices. He finds substantial heterogeneity across the distribution of house prices. sites.google.com/ole.augie.edu/…
