@SouthwestAir new business model is garbage. Since charging for bags, I have not been on a flight where we have "limited overhead space" and "weight and balance issues." Staff shame people into checking their carry-ons to avoid delays. This was a non-issue with free bags. Shame.

@espn putting profits over people again! You have multiple channels, yet you broadcast football on ALL of them instead of showing @AustralianOpen tennis. If you care so little about fans, let @TennisChannel show matches!

Check out my new article with @EconSargent ! We use a gravity model to show that length and era of colonial occupation impact future migration rates from Africa to Europe in nonlinear ways. A tiny step forward in unpacking the economic effects of a complicated colonial history.

Our paper (@EconZach @ekosack ) is forthcoming! We use high-frequency data to identify the magnitude, timing, and persistence of conflict-induced migration during the Mexican Revolution. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@Enquirer @XavierU now the feed for the debate is dead. Please get this working. Ohio voters deserve to hear these candidates.

@Enquirer your live debate feed is dark. We can hear but see nothing. Can you please fix this?

@LaurenKocman and I have a forthcoming article in the @IREE_Journal about the use of infographic assignments! If you teach principles classes in Economics, you might want to check it out! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Consider donating to XU's Economics Department during #XUMarchGladness ! All funds collected go DIRECTLY to students! If we get the most donations, we get "free" money for our department! Thanks a lot in advance for your support! marchgladness.xavier.edu/campaigns/econ…

If you or someone you know is looking for a teaching-oriented position in Economics, please consider applying to come work with me at Xavier University! aeaweb.org/joe/listing.ph…

New work with colleagues here at @XavierU ! Student perceptions of scientific writing in pharmacology: Student generation of collaborative rubrics to score a social pharmacology writing project bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@drescamillag @EconZach @petercatron I agree. My initial impression is that it is an incomplete D.

@EconZach @petercatron @ekosack The instructions for the 1908 records establish three values for complexion: light, medium, or dark. So, my guess is that it is a Dk. I think some officials didn’t write the D in full.

When I got an email today saying that we should make ourselves available for office hours in the student dorms (like students ordering help via room service), I thought for sure @ass_deans had hijacked the email distribution list! Nope...it was real 🤦‍♂️

@EconZach Awesome work, my friend!

I argue that 1) you should include Black families when measuring an inequality concept like mobility 2) historical data on occupations contains error After addressing these issues, historical mobility estimates completely change and imply *low* mobility before World War II.

Check out our @nberpubs working paper!

📢🤩@ekosack @EconZach & I have a new @nberpubs WP. We use novel high-frequency (monthly) data to estimate the impact of conflict events on the magnitude, timing, and persistence of migration to the US during the Mexican Revolution. nber.org/papers/w31531

@tcddublin for the @ClioSociety congress! Looking forward to presenting our paper (@EconZach @ekosack) about the impact of violence during the Mexican Revolution on migration to the US.

@FairweatherPhD I look at it as I GET to attend graduation every year! It is the best day of the year seeing everyone so happy and excited. Frankly, it makes me sad that so many of my colleagues skip one of the most important parts of our job.

Wait, do professors have to sit through graduation every year?

Looking forward to presenting @UCD_GlobalMC! We (@EconZach @ekosack ) use novel high-frequency data to estimate the impact of conflict events on the magnitude, timing, and persistence of migration to the US during the Mexican Revolution
