A very nice paper coming out in AEJ: Applied showing the financial value of majoring in economics relative to other disciplines (e.g. psychology). The 2 key graphs are below. Authors: @zbleemer and @ProfAMehta

#Econtwitter does anyone know of a geographic (e.g. county, zipcode) level measure of gender norms for the USA? Thank you for helping me find this!?

There's been lots of progress on diff-in-diff in the econometrics lit in the last 5 years. Lots to keep up with. Here are the resources I've found most accessible. 🧵👇

RT #EconTwitter The @NEAEcon board has issued a statement in support of the historic nominations of @drlisadcook and #PhilipJefferson to serve on the Federal Reserve Board. The letter by our President @Nina_EBanks on behalf of the board is linked below.

UMSL Econ faculty member Anne Winkler @annewinkler11 and co-author Francine Blau @FranBlau just published the 9th edition of their book, The Economics of Women, Men, and Work (Oxford University Press)!

I’m looking forward to building the Black Economic Research Center! This initiative is needed now more than ever! Please send ideas and other info to help make the most impact possible!

I loved @toddrjones paper last year on the flow of Ph.D. students & the composition of economics departments. ~75% of the faculty at Harvard & MIT earned their Ph.D. at Harvard or MIT. Here's the full paper: edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/…

There are resources available to all of us. The AEA has a bunch of things we can use on their site. In addition, educators have published additional resources. I love this one by @Div_E_Q: diversifyingecon.org Stuff is there, but people don't want to do it.

Extraordinary and extremely important piece. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/…

Our new study on #lifestyle behaviors and #mentalhealth of young adults one year into #COVID19 is now available online (joint with Paolo Barbieri, @silvia_saccardo @SallySadoff ). Generously funded by @JPAL_NA nature.com/articles/s4159…

The #Covid19 pandemic put the majority of young adults at risk for anxiety and depression. In a @JPAL_NA funded study, @SallySadoff examined whether incentives for physical activity could improve mental health among this vulnerable group: povertyactionlab.org/evaluation/inc…

My annual tradition continues -- my 10 favorite economics papers published in 2021, ordered alphabetically [Meant to do this yesterday, but I had a paper rejected on New Year's Day -- Happy New Year! -- so I decided to deal with that instead]

Join our @ASHE_ASSA session on “Hispanics and Finance” at #ASSA2022 on Sunday 1/9 at 12:15. The program is below and at aeaweb.org/conference/202…. Presenters include but are not limited to @lblancoraynal, @aboutJoy, @econ_garcia, and @RaffiGarcia. Thanks @UofLEcon for chairing.

One year after an @JPAL_NA-funded #RCT found that incentivizing physical activity had little impact on mental health, this follow-up by @SallySadoff, @Osea82, @silvia_saccardo, & Paolo Barbieri demonstrates how #Covid19 continues to disrupt daily life: nature.com/articles/s4159…

My colleague @JulianReif is a standard-bearer for replication and transparency in economic research. His coding guide, software, and replication packages are public goods that facilitate best practices. A brief thread on the tools and templates I use regularly.

This puts economics at or near the bottom on gender, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity among US-born PhDs. The correlation btw diversity metrics is strong -- suggesting that the same kinds of factors may be leading to lack of diversity across all these metrics. (4/N)
