Infant on lap? Don’t fly @Allegiant ! If you don’t have the infant’s birth certificate at the check in desk, they make you buy a whole new seat for your baby.

@bcandersonphd @carocastillag I'm so, so sorry, Ben. She was an incredible economist, and one of the elite members of Actually Fun Economists. Her contagious smile, great sense of humor and brilliant mind will all be missed.

It is with tremendous sadness that I must announce that my brilliant and beautiful wife, Carolina Castilla @carocastillag, ended her battle with cancer yesterday. Thank you to all of those who have reached out in support as I know she touched the lives of so many people

@LindseyKNovak and I are hosting it in August in Portland this year- waterfalls and breweries may be on the agenda. Come talk RCTs and DID estimators with us for a couple days, and bring your family to experience the joy of Oregon in August!

Hi #econtwitter Has anyone applied to IRB to conduct a follow-up study by contacting former participants in an older (closed IRB) study? Even better if it was in developing country. I'd love to hear from you!

Sigh. Can your student be an influencer that all the @lewisandclark students follow? It seems that, despite my best efforts, we still get the “intro to capitalism” reputation instead of “intro to economics”
Justin Wolfers@JustinWolfers

One of my students just sent me a note saying that by sitting in my Intro to Econ class they "finally found a topic that involves the introspective nature of the humanities with the logic-based analysis of more math-based fields," and I have never felt more seen.

A thought on why inflation didn't feel like a "big deal" to rich people: We were buying fancy stuff, so when prices went up, we had the ability to adjust down in quality to maintain our overall spending level. Poor people can't do that. They're already buying the cheap eggs.
Sabrina Rodríguez@sabrod123

Talked to easily a few hundred voters this year — many working class — and the precision with which some people could tell me how much a pound of steak, carton of eggs, gallon of milk had gone up (not to mention the price of rent) tells a very different story.

I know it goes without saying at this point, but I’m always caught off guard by displays of just how much this country hates women.

I and twenty-two other Nobel economists signed a letter endorsing Kamala Harris for President. We believe Harris's policies will result in a stronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable. cnn.com/2024/10/23/pol…

@a_peterman @titlenine I might have personally suggested they add something like “has an h-index of 48 according to repec” but something tells me that the ven diagram of people who will read that and get it is a little small

@ainesmccarthy @titlenine 😊 I did not see the text before they printed, but I must say that "going off the grid" and "hunting for a good pastry" sums up my life fairly well!

@a_peterman @titlenine Amber! I have to say that I used to read the “real women” bios and stories in the catalogue and think “no way are these real people- their lives just look way too cool.” But then I saw you in there and texted all my (econ) friends! So badass.
