Looking forward to participating in this event with the St. Louis Fed in February!

I just found out that my job market paper has been accepted at Journal of Labor Economics! I feel so fortunate! Couldn’t have done this without the help of my phenomenal advisors, Melissa S. Kearney, Katharine Abraham, and Judy Hellerstein. So what is this?

This is a fantastic paper. They use biometric data to create a massive training set. They do a bunch of exercises that should really advance the frontier in record linking.

My paper "Nudges Don't Work When the Benefits Are Ambiguous" with Ben Castleman, Fran Murphy, and Bill Skimmhorn was just accepted at JPAM! Upshot: Nudges to transfer GI-Ed Benefits only worked among those for whom the benefit was least ambiguous. edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/…

A central focus of the Council of Economic Advisers is to identify the very best programs and policies to put in place to ensure our economy works for all Americans.

A short summary of our new WP “Race to the Bottom: Competition and Quality in Science” Thanks Matt Clancy !

One of my favorite parts of teaching is emailing to congratulate the students who did much better on the final than the midterm — I highly recommend it.

Econ faculty: Do you have great undergrads who want to go to grad school? Do you want to help them get accepted by the best PhD program that's a good fit for them? Not sure how to do that, perhaps because your program doesn't send a lot of students off for Econ PhDs?

This study complements my work on affirmative action and a recent paper on Texas Top Ten by Sandy Black, Jeff Denning, and @rothstein_jesse: quasi-experimental studies of the medium-run effects of access-oriented U.S. admission policies evince BIG economic mobility potential.

I'd had students asking about this in class and this was really helpful to read. I drove by a Gamestop with our kids today and wished I had read this before then to tell them about it.

Really enjoyed listening to Diana Elder and Nicole Dyer on their Research Like a Pro podcast this morning. Fascinating interview with Joe Price talking about the BYU record linking lab. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/byu…

I went to Yale in the 1970s, and it was obvious that there were effectively two schools: the one where children of the elite were invited to join secret societies, and one where nerds got to be nerds 1/

New paper out! Hey parents, do you spend more quality time with children before or after dinner? For most parents, quality time is highest after dinner. Moving dinnertime earlier can maximize that time. I had a lot of fun using ATUS data with Joe Price and Luke Rodgers.

I just wrote the most laudatory referee report I’ve ever written and I’m so happy knowing that at some point soon I’m going to anonymously make someone feel really good about their scholarship. They deserve it! 👍🏻🙌🤗
