@JohnHolbein1 I had the same thing happen Thursday. R&R in the morning, desk rejection in the afternoon. 🎢

Oh and also a reject in the inbox. Roller coaster!

R&R!

9 months in the womb can't be replicated. @mmalloush & Syeda Warda Riaz find that kids exposed to #CashTransfers in utero stay taller for life, while those who start late never catch up. Invest early or miss the window forever! doi.org/10.3368/jhr.03…

Glad to see our working paper here! This project started a few years ago when we asked ourselves how would we measure what we mean by economic resilience.

@KelsiGHobbs I find I'm less efficient with my time if I'm "prepping" for everything too early!

@KelsiGHobbs It depends what you mean by prep! Actual lectures? Day before. I post readings/assignments 2 weeks before they're due; I make final decisions on them then? I have a weekly sketch of the next 4-6 weeks on specific topics and a whole semester outline of broad topics in order.

Prepping a new class. How far "ahead" do you prep? I've heard 2 weeks, fall break, and half a semester. #econtwitter

Fresh off the press at WBER! With @mmalloush and @JG_Mal: “Social Protection amid a Crisis: New Evidence from South Africa’s Older Person’s Grant” academic.oup.com/wber/advance-a…

@estebanjq3 Our Lola says hi!

@KhoaVuUmn But it's strictly positive? 😅

Having the 1st child means giving up on being on time, so we just tell people we'll be 10 minutes late. Having the 2nd child means giving up on predicting how late we'll be, so we tell people we'll be \epsilon minutes late, where \epsilon is a random variable w/ an unknown dist.

@grattonecon I've thought about this quite a lot. I think perhaps CU-Boulder wins out. Tons of sport climbs in Boulder canyon and classic trad in El Dorado.

Suppose your preferences are to max Q of Econ department x Q of sport climbing in 50km radius What’s the best US department? Asking for a friend?

@PJakiela @DaveEvansPhD @dflemingm @profholden It's almost there though!

@mmalloush @DaveEvansPhD @dflemingm @profholden Ouch. Sorry!

Publishing articles takes a lot of rejection! My last 10 published articles were accepted at their nth journal, where n = 4, 4, 1, 11, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 3. (Yes, that's an 11, not a typo.) #GetYourManuscriptBack #GetYourManuscriptBack #EventuallyItStaysAway What's your experience?

@PJakiela @DaveEvansPhD @dflemingm @profholden 😅 I can safely say that it is not a record!

@DaveEvansPhD @dflemingm @profholden Can we get ourselves in the Guinness book of world records for that one?

Really excited to share a new paper, co-authored with @mmalloush, just published in JEBO! "The Psychological Toll of Food Insecurity" We investigate the relationship between acute food insecurity and psychological distress. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ok so I have another question in the same vein. What econ papers /RCTs do you know that look at road traffic fatalities in developing countries?
