I just wrote the most laudatory referee report I’ve ever written and I’m so happy knowing that at some point soon I’m going to anonymously make someone feel really good about their scholarship. They deserve it! 👍🏻🙌🤗

@Keepapitchinin The BYU Record Linking Lab has linked together census records for those years. The precision for those years are lower than what we get when linking census records in the 1900s but if you need possible matches, these links would provide a place to start.

New paper out! Hey parents, do you spend more quality time with children before or after dinner? For most parents, quality time is highest after dinner. Moving dinnertime earlier can maximize that time.
I had a lot of fun using ATUS data with @joepricebyu and Luke Rodgers.

Parents who eat #dinner w their children earlier in the evening spend more quality time together after dinner. It is because family dinner often initiates family time in the evenings, and that is good for kids. #REHO @jocelynwikle), @joepricebyu (@byu) buff.ly/397MDbl

I went to Yale in the 1970s, and it was obvious that there were effectively two schools: the one where children of the elite were invited to join secret societies, and one where nerds got to be nerds 1/

Really enjoyed listening to @DianaElder11 and @familylocket on their Research Like a Pro podcast this morning. Fascinating interview with @joepricebyu talking about the BYU record linking lab.

@sportseconprof @causalinf I think Dusty would get my vote too. I love having two brothers that do economics. We should have all discovered our love for economics earlier so we could have talked about it in high school.

@causalinf @joepricebyu there have been many discussions of rankings and youngest brother who teaches high school econ tends to get the most votes

Joe Price (@joepricebyu ) is talking to my class about census linking but also about creativity and impactful scholarship over the longrun. Very inspiring economist. One of my favorite.

@causalinf It was such a great experience to present to your class. Thanks for setting that up. It was also fun to create some links on your family tree.
English
Again, just to be happy I got to see @joepricebyu present today, he gave me the family tree he’s helped create with his census linkages of my maternal grandfather. I’m learning about him now.

@Kasey_Buckles @causalinf Reading your note meant a lot to me just now. I hope our Census Tree will create this same experience for lots of people.

I’m going to be researching my family tree all night and sending texts on my family’s group messages. Didn’t see that coming.

This study complements my work on affirmative action and a recent paper on Texas Top Ten by @Econ_Sandy, @JeffDenning, and @rothstein_jesse: quasi-experimental studies of the medium-run effects of access-oriented U.S. admission policies evince BIG economic mobility potential.

For anyone interested, here's my new uncomfortably self-centered #econhistory PhD course syllabus/readings: it has intentional clusters of papers, rather than trying to be comprehensive, and apologies for so many omissions (we'll talk about more). tinyurl.com/y7h5vojh

Econ faculty: Do you have great undergrads who want to go to grad school? Do you want to help them get accepted by the best PhD program that's a good fit for them? Not sure how to do that, perhaps because your program doesn't send a lot of students off for Econ PhDs?

One of my favorite parts of teaching is emailing to congratulate the students who did much better on the final than the midterm — I highly recommend it.

Another paper, by @RyanReedHill and @carolyn_sms, uses a remarkable dataset in structural biology to show the negative impact of publication pressure. Structural biology is neat because there are standardized ways to assess the quality of protein models. economics.mit.edu/files/20679

My paper "Nudges Don't Work When the Benefits Are Ambiguous" with Ben Castleman, Fran Murphy, and Bill Skimmhorn was just accepted at JPAM!
Upshot: Nudges to transfer GI-Ed Benefits only worked among those for whom the benefit was least ambiguous.

This is a fantastic paper. They use biometric data to create a massive training set. They do a bunch of exercises that should really advance the frontier in record linking.
