Can’t recommend enough! This was such a great experience this past year, and I can only imagine it’ll be even better in-person.

What's happening at Rice Economics... a 🧵(1/n)

With thanksgiving break over, it's now Job Market Season!! Time to talk about our (amazing) 8 JMCs this year: a 🧵. First up, here's a link to our main JMC website: economics.rice.edu/graduate-progr… Now, onto the candidates themselves:

Can higher prices lead people to buy more? Experimental evidence of relative thinking shows that expanding the choice set’s price range can make people less price sensitive and more likely to buy econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

In early parenthood my husband has unsurprisingly proven to be a great parent. His best contribution to parenting our first baby, however, may be that his mom is a pediatrician.

With the #formulashortage I’m looking for where in #houston to donate the small samples I received while pregnant (the majority of the samples had to be tossed in the Similac recall). I have one 7.2oz can enfamil enspire, 4x17.6g (packets) neuropro and 4x17.6g neuropro gentlease.

This 2021 attendee agrees!

#EconTwitter Any econ JMCs working on insurance topics (not just health insurance!) want feedback on their JMPs? I am assigning working papers for a referee report assignment in my PhD class & would be happy to use JMPs & pass along (my curated) feedback from the class & me!

Not to toot my own horn, but Harry and I are participants in this clinical trial (technically I'm done participating at this point, he has about a month left until he turns 1). This is BIG NEWS!!!

“Betterment of the World - Social Scientific Approaches to Health and Well-Being," will be hosted by Dean Rachel T. Kimbro and feature Social Sciences faculty speakers Maura Coughlin, @__cjdiaz, and Luz Garcini.

Had a great time at #ASHEcon2023 @ashecon in St Louis! For anyone there with little kids I definitely recommend using that discount at the aquarium…but bring a spare outfit!

Big news!! My son and I were in this phase 3 trial 2021-2022, but it was a time commitment we weren't sure we do again with #2 (and participating meant I couldn't donate my extra breastmilk, esp upsetting during peak formula shortage). Such a relief for families.

Hi #EconTwitter, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Rice University and I’m on the 2023-2024 job market. My research fields are industrial organization and applied microeconometrics. I am happy to share my job market paper in empirical industrial organization. ( A thread 🧵)

Folks on hiring committees should definitely out our JMCs!
