My new article on the “Pig in the Python” argues that the demand for young workers will grow dramatically over the coming decades, likely leading to rising wages, stronger unions, and lower inequality. 1/28

Here is some small-N evidence from Princeton that PhD student research matters in the form of a news post reporting that two recent PhD graduates published part of their dissertations in the field’s top journal (ok self-serving b/c one is me 🙂): csdp.princeton.edu/news/recent-gr… 3/3

Academia in a nutshell: We are status-seeking chimps searching for status through a tiny number of journals. This is not particularly healthy nor efficient.
Chris Blattman@cblatts

At the end of the day, every human being is just a status-seeking chimpanzee. And we are status-seeking chimpanzees where a main thing that gives us status and validation has amazing diminishing marginal returns and a weird discontinuity at the "top 5"

@GregKamradt I use em-dashes and colons all the time, sigh. AI is stealing our best punctuation marks. Who can we sue?

@DStephenVoss I don’t blame the students as much - they’re just responding to the incentives I do blame universities!

Excited to launch my @ERC_Research Starting Grant at @UCL! I will hire Predoc/RAs starting early 2025 and a PhD Student + Postdoc starting Autumn 2025. Experience with admin data, linked employer-employee data, causal inference are a plus. Sounds like you? Get in touch!

Just out in @ReadDemography: We leverage variation in applications to ICE 287(g) agreements 2000-2020 to show that #deportations and immigration enforcement is causally linked to increases in Latino-White segregation. OPEN ACCESS PDF doi.org/10.1215/007033…
Demography Journal@ReadDemography

“Deportations & Latino Segregation”: @fertmortmig J. Rugh & @hliaang show how 287(g) enforcement slowed drops in local segregation by a third, esp. in New South states, entrenching “patterns of residential stratification & inequality.” read.dukeupress.edu/demography/art…

Causality and prediction are not two distinct concepts Causal inference is fundamentally a prediction problem: you’re predicting the counterfactual Randomistas found a few clever ways to do causality without prediction. But if you solve prediction; you get causality for free
