Truly grateful for all the thoughtful emails / texts I've received from so many of you over the last 24 hours. When the world is dark and sad, love is the light keeps us going. Thank you for sending so much of it my way.
Super cool work!
Excited to share a new @annenberginstitute.bsky.social working paper, co-authored w/ Rebecca Jacobsen. We’ve been exploring what happens when national partisan politics reach one of the most local arenas of American democracy—school board elections?

Hey #econsky! I'm organizing a workshop at Brown this Spring in partnership with Eric Nielsen and Viviana Rodriguez.
The topic is educational measurement. Please submit a paper/extended abstract! We'd love to consider your work.
And please help us spread the word to folks who aren't on bluesky!
Super cool project. Work force development is a huge issue. Glad to see this topic getting renewed focus from Econ / public policy.
New research finds that valuable education data is being wasted: Large gains are possible at nearly zero cost simply by better leveraging all of the test items currently collected, from @jessebruhn.bsky.social, Michael Gilraine, Jens Ludwig, and Sendhil Mullainathan www.nber.org/papers/w34484
📢 #EdWorkingPapers: @jessebruhn.bsky.social, Michael Gilraine, Jens Ludwig & @sendhil.bsky.social analyze 1.31 billion student-item responses from Texas and find that item-level data contain rich, decision-relevant information that aggregate scores miss.

Next was the highly recommended 1st day of the @nber.org labor studies conference, w/standout talks by M Notowidigdo (returns to permanent residency) C Miller (effects of a criminal record) & @jessebruhn.bsky.social (long-run effects of early career experience) www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5mY... (3/4)
Y’all, I wrote a book!

It seems pretty funny to allow the WSJ to cover a paper and then when it’s revealed to be fraudulent start crying about how it wasn’t even peer reviewed and the system worked etc. Why did our discipline tell the WSJ it was credible if it wasn’t peer reviewed then ?
A bit of personal/professional news: I'm sad to be leaving the wonderful editorial team at @restatjournal.bsky.social now that my terms are up, but excited to be joining AEJ: Applied as editor in January. www.aeaweb.org/news/member-...
🔥🔥🔥
I finally have a publication date for my new Experimental Economics textbook: December 12. Equally as important, I am proud to have negotiated a low price for the book: $38.10...for a nearly 800 page book!

Amazing opportunity!! Send you talented undergrads / soon to be graduates this way 👇
"People who like to sound tough reflexively back the guys with guns over the guys in jeans with sacks of grain or the guys in suits with papers. But take it from someone who spent nearly 1,500 days downrange over the course of 20 years: USAID is worth every penny." www.thebulwark.com/p/usaid-kept...
If the president / secretary of defense really believe that eliminating DEI efforts will make things more "merit" based then they should probably eliminate the explicit veteran preferences in federal hiring too.
The fact that they aren't tells you everything you need to know...
