2-min JMP summary. My paper studies how individuals change their occupations to adjust their wages, work hours, and work effort when facing changes in marginal tax rates. youtube.com/watch?v=Njt__W…

Thanks @pqblair for featuring my 2-min JMP summary

And here is my first lightboard setup!! Note, just 1.5 days ago I learned of the existence of lightboard (and OBS), built my own small test, learned OBS, so my lighting/delivery/backdrop/etc need some work, but I think this could make for fantastic online classes this fall😀👍

Does anyone on #EconTwitter have a good CV template that they'd like to share?

Question I received recently from a few fantastic grad students - where is the best place to look for postdoc opportunities? What websites, is there a hashtag, etc.? Any knowledge you have would be appreciated! #econtwitter

1.5 years into coediting AEJ: Applied, here is a public audit on my job performance and then some thoughts on being an editor 1/X

Hi #econtwitter, looking for some intuition behind why estimates from a PPLM specification might diverge from the OLS equivalent in a large panel setting with HDFE's (OLS β is 25% ↓ than PPLM β). PPLM: y ~ exp(βlog(x) + FE + ε) OLS: log(y) ~ βlog(x) + FE + ε

Writing tip about robustness checks. 1/ first express the specific concern the reader may have about your findings, then 2/ present an idea that motivates an approach of addressing it, & only then 3/ describe what your check actually is & what you find.

The thing about advice for PhD students (not criticizing the author) is that it’s not there aren’t formulas for success. There’s randomness and there’s inputs. It’s that in equilibrium it’s impossible for everyone to get those inputs. Here’s what I mean. 1/n

My thought is you need a few things to get a job. Great school, great job market paper, great advisors, great letters from your advisors, winning lottery ticket. It’s a lottery bc all of us appear on paper the same. Employers can’t deduce type except via the things I listed. 2/n

I'll be UCL placement officer next year, and I believe I am not the only one that would like to get some info about next year academic job market #2021EconJobMarket. Here are 4 questions. 1/4

The academic JM for fresh PhDs does not look great given all the hiring freezes. Any ideas on what junior/non-admin academics can do to help cushion the blow for students who want to pursue academic careers?

I had a few folks ask which intros I thought were particularly good based on my tweet yesterday. I can't share that unfortunately, but what I can do is ask what is your favorite intro of a paper that you can remember? Post in comments so we can all learn from the best!

Protip: don't be the coauthor who... ▪️always is second to work on the project ▪️always takes the easier tasks ▪️constantly emails for updates when the project is on coauthor's desk, but ghosts when it's on theirs ▪️solely identifies problems, never comes up with solutions
