I am excited to share my job market journey and its outcome. I will be joining the fantastic @RockwoolFonden in August as a Researcher in the “Productivity & Prosperity” unit in Copenhagen, and I could not be happier with this outcome.

Co-authored with Benjamin Schröder (@DICEHHU), @MelindaFremerey (@iw_koeln), and Hendrik Böhmer (@iw_koeln).

New working paper on competition in meal delivery 🍔📦 Using detailed local data and within-market variation, we uncover how competition shapes prices and demand across restaurants. Turns out, effects are more nuanced than expected. Take a look 👇 papers.ssrn.com/abstract=63276…

I’ve decided not to post my annual “women on the Econ job market” thread this year. Social media has splintered too much, and now that I’ve left academia I’m focused on other priorities. I hope someone else picks it up! It was super useful to have a reason to comb through the latest JMPs each fall. And I was happy to elevate work that traditionally is under-elevated. Something that has become more apparent to me since I left academia 2+ years ago is that the toxic behavior that is rampant in university settings is, truly, especially bad there. I’d always told students that bias exists in every field, and I’m sure it does. But universities face zero competitive pressure to get their sh*t together, and it shows in their employment practices. My wish for women on this year’s Econ job market is that you keep your options wide open. There are lots of great opportunities to have a big impact out on the world, and you have valuable skills that many employers would pay dearly for. You’ve worked too hard for that PhD to settle — find a job you love. Do yourself the favor of exploring all your options.

Well deserved!

I’ve started an ongoing project to collect all the datasets which economists can use, all in one place, organized by topic. Started with 50, further suggestions are extremely welcome. It will grow considerably.
