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.🧵

@TomanBarsbai @AlexMYarkin on how the internet changed the migration experience. As access expands at home, immigrants in the US stay connected to origin networks, leading to lower English proficiency and naturalization, but less segregation and higher well-being.

@TomanBarsbai @BristolUniEcon Thank you Toman, and see you in a bit!

@AlexMYarkin @BristolUniEcon We are just as excited as you are. Safe travels!

Very excited about the upcoming visit to the @BristolUniEcon for the Workshop on Migration Economics. Here is the (amazing!) program: baem.info/Program_MIG_26… It's a real honor to be a part of this amazing group of researchers.

Amazing placements, especially in such tough market, congratulations to all 💪💪

@BeatrizGietner @ceph_ie @MarvinSuesse Thx :)

@AlexMYarkin @ceph_ie @MarvinSuesse 🥳🥳🥳congrats!!

It is a great honor and opportunity to join the Centre for Economics, Policy and History @ceph_ie. Thanks to @MarvinSuesse and others for the kind invitation. Looking forward to many successful collaborations! ceph.ie/people-re/alex…

@cmicmeissner Exactly :) Have you seen this ucd.ie/globalengageme… UCD^2

UCD welcomes UCD. Nice!

It's been a treat to welcome @giov_peri at @EconomicsUCD last Friday. As always, extremely energetic and motivating presentation, lots of other research talk around, and a bonus hike around Dublin. That's how good visits should be 😊

We are pleased to share that NIDE now has a website (sites.google.com/view/nideecon/) where you can find information about the network and our activities. The website also includes a link to a short form (shorturl.at/pd0hQ) that allows you to become a NIDE affiliate.

@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!

Last day before the teaching term starts, and it had to be like that 😊 Powerscourt Estate, one of the gems here in Dublin (in other words, don't forget to submit your paper to the EEA-ESEM to be held at @ucddublin this year!)

👇 📍Dublin 🗓️August 17-21 🙏@ucddublin Full info: eea-esem-congresses.org @ECQE6 @EAYEconomists

@hillaryvipond @EconomicsUCD Thanks so much Hillary, that's great, I'll take a close look.

@AlexMYarkin @EconomicsUCD EH.net has a lovely collection of syllabi, is worth a look

#econtwitter I'm teaching PhD Growth / Development at @EconomicsUCD next term, so if you have syllabi or reading lists from related courses you have taught or taken - please share 😊. Topics: growth models and data, PE of devt., culture, history, geography, globalization, etc.

@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 🙂

Fantastic evening at @IndeedIE in Dublin Docklands discussing data, research, and all with @PawelAdrjan . Thanks for having me, looking forward for more ☺️
