I'm on the job market this year! My #EconJMP examines the long run and intergenerational impacts of institutional discrimination against immigrants. Here's a thread of what I find (1/8)🧵 #EconJobMarket #econtwitter

I find that individuals who moved from Philadelphia and their children are less negatively affected than those who stayed. My findings point to the persistent impacts of institutional discrimination, especially for those unable to escape it. (8/8)

Using children of individuals in Philadelphia and New York, I find no effects on adult socioeconomic outcomes. However, this masks interesting heterogeneity based on whether an individual moved to a different county. (7/8)

#EconTwitter I want to give a transparent perspective on my experience with finances as a graduate student. I hope this thread can assist people starting or considering a PhD program in the Fall of 2023. 1/16

I don't think we realize how costly an Econ PhD can be for our emotional wellbeing until the moment we get there. Too many times I interact with emotionally drained students who are smart and good researchers, but have had their self-worth depleted.
