LinkedIn data can be used to measure the racial, ethnic, and gender mix of companies' workforces, and differences in mass layoffs and promotions, from Alexander Berry, Elizabeth M. Maloney, and @NeumarkEcon nber.org/papers/w32294

We find that feedback is harder to come by when software engineers are not sitting near their coworkers in the office. So cool to see this work with @NataliaHEmanuel and Mandy Pallais covered by @emmabgo and @bencasselman nytimes.com/2023/04/24/bus…

Happy International Women's Day to every woman that's been at a BBQ and had to listen to a man explain that the gender wage gap isn't real once you control for occupation

I have hyped it up long enough! Here is a thread on Neumark and company’s recent paper, and what it means for the future of minimum wage research. socsci.uci.edu/~jantonio/Pape…

In my job market paper, I use data on >1/4 million college applicants and a regression discontinuity design to show that admission to research universities impacts students’ partisanship and voter turnout 10+ years after applying for college. #EconTwitter DanielFiroozi.com/jmp

Dear paper writers, consider using \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦[𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗿𝗲𝗳=𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲]{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} instead of simply \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} to make it easier for a reader to jump to the references and back.

@HinaUsman72 @usman_ghaus Congrats!

I am excited to share that one of my Ph.D. dissertation chapters with my co-author @usman_ghaus has been selected in a nationwide essay competition organized by SF FED. We are grateful for the award and recognition. Thankful to my advisors for their feedback and support!

Wherever you are on the mask debate, can we all at least agree that you should cover your mouth when you cough?

A lot of people hammering me for having a PhD in economics and knowing nothing about how the economy works: I plead guilty. I got a PhD in economics largely because I loved Freakonomics & wanted to study the data of sports & random things about people.

In your writing, be generous with citations. The cost of citing a marginally relevant paper is low, the cost of omitting a truly relevant paper is high, and one's own assessment of relevance is imperfect. #AcademicTwitter #EconTwitter

@adparret and I recently got the chance to chat economics and Star Wars with @jamesjawa and @melissatruth on the podcast Star Warsologies! Check out the episode and the podcast below. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

If in a staggered DiD setting I write an equation with a full set of treatment indicators by treated cohort and calendar time, and include c(i) + f(t) (unit and time "fixed effects"), would you still call that a "fixed effects" model?

@mahamino84 Yeah, I realized later that I was confusing anorexia and anorexia nervosa, but I think they could have described this better!

@emmaloney314 I actually heard a few accounts of this recently and remembered your tweet: people lose their sense of taste/smell and stop eating enough because apparently eating sucks if you can’t taste/smell

@economeager The GRE is also a critical signal for students coming from less prestigious schools in the US. GRE prep and testing is much less costly than Ivy League tuition.

I think we should abolish the GRE, not because it's unfair -- it is, but so is everything else -- but because it requires thinking within the status quo which is exactly what we DON'T want in students. Studying for it is an unconscionable waste of a bunch of smart people's time.

@AriaGoles @adparret @JonBatiste You’re welcome any time!

super-promising results here (if I say so myself!)

@_alice_evans @jenniferdoleac It’s definitely possible! The directionality of the relationship isn’t obvious to me, though. Does existing misogyny push young women out or does a lack of young women breed misogyny?

@emmaloney314 @jenniferdoleac My prior is that self named incels are guys below 35 who can’t find girlfriends. I’d be curious to know the strongest predictor of state variation If it is sex ratios, then I think I guessed correctly. But happy to reject my priors if wrong 😊

Does disdain for women increase the pay gap? Yes Evidence from Google In US states where search terms are often misogynist, employers are probably more prejudiced, and women earn less than men. economics.uci.edu/files/docs/202… Elizabeth Malony, JMP.

@_alice_evans @jenniferdoleac Unfortunately, I can’t see the breakdown of the misogynistic searches.

@emmaloney314 @jenniferdoleac Ahaha! So that was precisely my prediction, no? Young guys struggling to get wives/ long term girlfriends. Wait, let me rephrase, do we have an age breakdown of the misogynist web searches? Are they mostly younger or older? I always thought it was resentful <35s?
