Hello! My name is Natalie. I am an applied microeconomist and a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and am on the 2025-2026 academic #econjobmarket studying how human capital policies and public subsidies impact the labor market outcomes of workers and firms. #EconSky
I'm on the job market!
My JMP studies the role of high school teachers in preparing students for college success
I find significant positive effects of high school teachers on
🔹College admissions test scores
🔹College enrollment
🔹College performance

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!
Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:
"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"
The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

Photo shows the title page for an academic paper titled "Driving Inclusion: The Effect of Improved Transportation for People with Disabilities" by Melissa Gentry. The abstract is as follows: People with disabilities face substantial barriers to economic and social participation. I explore the extent to which these barriers are overcome by the availability of reliable and flexible transportation, which may serve as ``reliability insurance'' in case other modes of transit fail. Leveraging the roll-out of Uber, I use a stacked difference-in-differences approach to show that the availability of reliable and flexible transportation leads to improvements in social and economic participation through increased marriage rates and labor force participation, and reduced reliance on public assistance. The reduction in public assistance outweighs expected rideshare costs, lending support to the recent push towards public-private partnerships in the transportation space.
I am excited to announce I am on the #EconJobMarket this year! 🎉 My research explores economic barriers for people with disabilities at the intersection of labor, public, and health economics.
My #EconJMP examines how reliable transportation transforms outcomes for this population. 🧵1/6

A thread devoted to Jacob Lawrence, one of the great American artists of the 20th century, born #OnThisDay in 1917. First up, one of my favorite paintings by him: Sidewalk Drawings, which celebrates visual power of human mark making with two girls exuberantly drawing in chalk on a city sidewalk

Looking up all the econ summer schools for PhD students for a resource bank, but can't seem to find a comprehensive list. Does anyone on #econsky have a good starting point?
