I'm happy to share my job market paper. It asks a simple but classic question: to what extent are graduate wages affected by the supply of graduate labour in the economy?🧵

I am super excited to share a new AI tool, Refine. Refine thoroughly studies research papers like a referee and finds issues with correctness, clarity, and consistency. In my own papers, it regularly catches problems that my coauthors and I missed. 1/

Our paper “Bonus Question: How Does Flexible Incentive Pay Affect Unemployment Dynamics?” has been accepted at the American Economic Review: Insights. Grateful to my coauthors Meghana Gaur, John Grigsby, and Jonathon Hazell for this collaboration. Link to the paper in the

I have a truly fantastic Econ PhD job market candidate on the market this year: Francisco Bullano is a macroeconomist whose research bridges public economics and health. His Web page: franciscobullano.com Please look at his job market package very closely.

Let me explain why I believe modern economics is such a powerful tool for understanding the world. I’ll do this by discussing a great paper by Simone Cerreia-Vioglio, Lars Peter Hansen, Fabio Maccheroni, and Massimo Marinacci, “Making Decisions Under Model Misspecification,”

As the job market in economics begins, I'd like to point out my friend Jon Hartley of Stanford. He is more productive than I am. In a truly competitive market, he should take my spot. jonathanhartley.net/research

Iran War --> Oil shock 📈 How should central banks respond? Why is coordination needed? When inflation comes from global price shocks, each central bank takes the shock as given—but their policies jointly determine global demand. That’s the mechanism in our paper.

By now, I have published a fair number of papers, and one more acceptance would have close to zero marginal impact on anything that matters professionally. But getting my survey on “Deep Learning for Solving Models” accepted into the Journal of Economic Literature made me

Looking forward to visiting the IMF headquarters in DC next week to teach an advanced course on "Heterogeneous Agent Models". Always a pleasure to engage with such a fantastic group of economists and talk about these topics.

So happy to see my paper published at AEJ: Macro! It shows that simple autoregressive foresting rules and myopia, embedded in a New Keynesian framework, help the model match key features of consensus inflationexpectations and US macro data.

I ran Refine on a paper I'm resubmitting. Once again I'm *completely* blown away. Very good substantive points on theory and econometrics (the quality of a good colleague's comments), as well as an immensely detailed proof read of model, econometrics, arithmetic & text

Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham's latest article is the best I've read on writing with coding agents/LLMs - whether for economics research or otherwise. The most important technique he brings up is creating a style guide for writing which learns from your own past writing. For academic
