🌟🌟Pre-doc opportunity 🌟🌟 Join Ronni Pavan and I at the U of Rochester for some super fun labor econ projects! Data work conducted in Ithaca, NY at the Census RDC details: forms.gle/fWcHqZsMZubHKe… @econ_ra #econtwitter @predoc_org

Omg Claudia!!!

@pedrohcgs Ah ok. Just checking how lazy I'm allowed to be with my website!

@ProfLisaBKahn Oh no! I usually go to the journal page, but not all journals have that requirement

Applied researchers who do not make data available in their webpage when there are no privacy constraints 👀👀 Help us, econometricians, help you! The same way we don't want you to code up everything from scratch, we‘d love to not have to reconstruct all the data from scratch!

@btshapir It's freaking me out how much we are agreeing lately.

BTW I think baby formula is one of the most miraculous inventions of the modern world. That it gets visciously maligned by breast feeding absolutists is a shame.

Has anyone written the definitive IO paper about baby formula? Seems like it would almost write itself and has the potential to have pretty direct, immediately achievable policy implications.

@florianederer Let's do it!

The only conference that could ever possibly challenge this one is if @ProfLisaBKahn finally delivers on her promise of organizing a tennis conference with presentations and discussions in the morning and the evening.

Not even a contest

@jialanw @mazzimon77 @ArantxaJarque It is crazy. Certainly it doesn't count if there is a better policy than on the books that only goes to people with friendly deans/depts. But the other direction is problematic too and doesn't take into account stigma and the like.

@mazzimon77 @jialanw @ArantxaJarque I did this about 5 years ago to encourage Rochester to add a policy. I benchmarked us to the top 50 universities (per US News). There is no other way but to read 50 individual faculty handbooks. It is out-of-date now but lmk if you want my data!

@maya_rossin @OlgaShurchkov @AEACSWEP Absolutely love this!!! Congrats Maya. Wish I could be applauded you and your little RA in person.

@OlgaShurchkov @AEACSWEP Thank you so much for capturing this, @OlgaShurchkov! What an experience. And thank you for being there!!!

Incredibly well-deserved recognition of @maya_rossin in the form of the Bennett Research Prize @AEACSWEP Here she is embodying the dual role of parenting and being productive at work as she accepts the award with her young son in her arms. #goals #cswep #econtwitter #academia

@Simon_Mongey @nick_bunker @MattCowgill @EDerenoncourt @Bledi_Taska @BHershbein @MariannaKudlyak @SydneeCaldwell @LightcastData Hi Simon! Yes I also noticed this and thought maybe it was all the new laws popping up requiring salary ranges. But haven't looked into it. Seems like it could just as easily be a data issue.

6/6 Tagging a few people who may be more experienced with the data: @nick_bunker, @MattCowgill, @EDerenoncourt, @Bledi_Taska, @ProfLisaBKahn, @BHershbein, @MariannaKudlyak, @SydneeCaldwell, @LightcastData

1/6 Going to try to crowd source an answer to a Q here. In mid-2018 the share of job postings with wage information in the Burning Glass data *jumps*: ~14% (2012-2017) to >35%. We think this *might* be BGT not distinguishing imputed and non-imputed wages in posts on Indeed.

Our dear friend and colleague Heikki is still missing. Hoping that someone in #Rochester has info that might help find him. 13wham.com/news/local/mis…

@Lois_Miller Great stuff!

🚨 I have a new draft of a working paper to share! Who Scars the Easiest? College Quality and the Effect of Graduating in a Recession (joint with Garrett Anstreicher) ssc.wisc.edu/~lmmiller22/An… 1/N

@MichaelRStrain @jeffreypclemens This is a title that only Jeff Clemens could write!

@fscoamodio You're definitely turning a corner 😉

@fscoamodio Anything is manageable once you are sleeping, which I assume you are by now.

@florianederer @fgavazzoni @wdessein Let's do it!

@fgavazzoni Sadly, there is no tennis conference yet. @ProfLisaBKahn and @wdessein need to deliver on their promises to organize one.

There are only three professional dress codes for male economists: 1) Suit and tie 2) Ski gear 3) Shirtless

@UofR just became the luckiest school on the planet! So psyched for my friend David Figlio to become our provost!

@nealemahoney You need this: amazon.com/Optical-Physic…

Daughter asked me why a rainbow has 7 colors. So I've now spent the last 30 mins reading random articles online and my best answer is "Newton made it up because a major scale has 7 notes and he thought it would be cool for a rainbow to have the same number of colors" Really?

@Simon_Mongey @florianederer @BHershbein Totally! Tho I assume someone will beat us to it.

@ProfLisaBKahn @florianederer @BHershbein Such a great paper, can't wait for the follow up over Covid! You have to, right?
