Hi #EconTwitter, I am on the Job Market! My primary fields are Labor, Migration, and Political Economy. My secondary fields are Macro and Growth. In my 1st JMP, I examine how the global spread of the Internet affects immigrants' socio-economic integration in the US.🧵

@SteveStuWill The actually interesting thing about this graph is how incredibly close the per capita numbers of metal bands across countries are... Ranging from 4.5 to 8 - is almost like there is a law of nature there :)

The happiest countries in the world tend to have the most heavy metal bands. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/political-bi…

Very excited for the upcoming visit to the @EconomicsatYork and @DUBusSchool this week. Come to my talks or send me a note if in the vicinity!

@YanagizawaD Thanks David, that's terrifying. I wonder if one could think of a world where one would ask the authors to "present" their findings and explain all that's in there in the paper (like with BA students' papers and presentations these days) - as a way to test AI-generated vs. not...

I always dreamed of becoming a macroeconomist one day.

Another amazing line-up of seminars at @EconomicsUCD across 4 groups: applied micro, macro/international, theory/behavioural, and public/political econ. It was a pleasure to help organize this. Please reach out if interested to come next year!

@MarcoRanaldi_ @EconomicsUCD Fantastic Marco, thanks so much! Looks super interesting, and I'll see if I can include parts of it.

@AlexMYarkin @EconomicsUCD Not directly related, but if you are interested in including global-inequality-related aspects that bring together global growth trends and their heterogeneous impacts, you can check the slides and syllabus of my inequality module here: mranaldi.com/teaching 🙂
