WFH map puzzle for you, courtesy of EIG's newest economist @ecarl_economics. This is the residual WFH % after running model 1. Remote work is far higher out west than explained by fundamentals. What is driving it?

@MichelleKlieger Unless brand image matters for consumer welfare -- consumers who purchase get more utility from a widgit they own/buy when the brand image is higher. So not necessarily inefficient. (If it doesn't affect consumer value, why would the brand care?)

It's hard to stay up-to-date on all the amazing future of work research that is happening right now. So, working with people around Microsoft, we put together a deck summarizing the research on the many ways work is changing: aka.ms/nfw2022 #newfutureofwork

@JlibDoesEcon That would require authors who got a 'reject' from a lower tier journal to turn around and submit to a higher tier one, which I think is generally pretty hard to justify
English
At risk of revealing judgments about “journal tiers” are there any notable examples of papers which have been published in higher tier outlets after having been rejected by lower tier outlets?

@UChicago Seriously? You think it's not safe to walk around HP by yourself during the day? I've heard it's gotten a bit worse since I lived there, but that seems like a major over reaction
English
Always think safety.

@benzipperer Would it be better to have some kind of coordinated feedback/petition process? Or just a bunch of individuals emailing to say they think it's a bad idea?

THREAD: This is a story about how police are frontline propagandists. It starts with a violent robbery at a men’s clothing store in Manhattan. It ends w/ NYPD responding, but refusing to investigate. Then lying that no one would face any consequences bc of “reform.” Read on:

Come work with us to study the effects of hybrid work
Siddharth (Sid) Suri@ssuri
I'm looking for a great PhD intern to use causal inference techniques to understand the effects of hybrid work on information workers. We'll be using large-scale telemetry data to study collaboration networks and collaboration media and tying them to business outcomes.

When Mary Shelley wrote #Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9).
A teenage girl wrote what is still considered today the 1st science fiction novel. This article continues the long tradition of erasing her.

With Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback, H.G. Wells invented the genre of science fiction. nyti.ms/3oN27IO

Research into post-covid work makes one thing crystal clear: Productivity isn't just about getting more done. As work moves hybrid, workplaces must center wellbeing, relationships, and innovation. New piece by @spjaffe, @bhecht and me in HBR today: hbr.org/2021/09/lets-r…

Our paper, just published in @NatureHumBehav, uses diff-in-diff to separate the effects of remote work from COVID-19. Remote work causes more siloed communication between workers, more time spent on IM and email, and, surprisingly, less time in meetings. nature.com/articles/s4156…

@ben_golub In WA it is standard for house offers to include "escalation clauses" where you offer to pay x (e.g. $1000) more than the any other equivalent/credible offer, up to a max of y. First price -> second price auction

Thoughts on getting job applications through AEA JOE vs econjobmarket? I found econjobmarket pretty annoying and am tempted to switch, but it had some useful features, so I could imagine AEA JOE is worse. #EconTwitter

Seems like there has to be some truth to this, but is selection also playing a role? Did Radio get to 50% as quickly as the internet?
