So inspiring to see Columbia’s @ConchaArriagada sharing her life story and her views on the lack of representation of women in Economics. She is really what exemplifies coming from the bottom, a non elite institution in a highly unequal country, to the top 🗽

Exciting news: my tech-nonprofit @FreeOurVoteInc has been selected into @FfwdOrg's 2024 Startup Accelerator! This will help us scale to re-enfranchise hundreds of thousands in time for the fall 2024 election. Thank you for the honor! bit.ly/ffwd2024

Exciting news! After years of work, my paper "Measuring Upward Mobility" with Debraj Ray is forthcoming in the AER 🍾🥳 debrajray.com///wp-content/u… #econtwitter @wid @GCER_Georgetown #SocialMobility #UpwardMobility #AER #EconomicsResearch @AEAjournals 1/3

Thrilled to share I’ll join @TeachersCollege and @EPSAatTC in July 2024 as an assistant professor after a year as a postdoc at the Development Innovation Lab (DIL - University of Chicago)!

In study of @FreeOurVoteFL debt repayment, "felony financial disenfranchisement creates uncertainty around voter eligibility, which likely deters many otherwise qualified voters with felony records." @NeelSukhatme, @economalex @gauravbagwe in @VandLRev papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Our recently accepted article (w/ @NeelSukhatme and @gauravbagwe) is now available on SSRN. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Thank you @VandLRev for publishing our forthcoming piece, Felony Financial Disenfranchisement (w/@economalex and @gauravbagwe). Among other things, we causally measure the impact of the debt repayment program spearheaded by @FreeOurVoteFL. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. 1/3

It’s disappointing that John Lott’s paper on 2020 vote fraud is forthcoming in *Public Choice*. Justin Grimmer and I wrote a response and asked the editor to reconsider. I want to explain our position and speculate about how this all happened.

My heart is wide open for this story tonight . . . It’s about how Justice William Brennan, the liberal lion 🦁, was convinced to hire his first woman law clerk and who that clerk was. (Hint: She’s a judge now herself.) Our ⚖️ 🧵 starts now . . .

Georgetown PhD student Daniel Valderrama-Gonzalez has found that political favoritism in Mexico attracts public spending but deters job creation. So, the gains from curbing favoritism are higher than we thought. If hiring econ PhDs check out Daniel! dvalderrama.com
