The @Wharton Applied Economics PhD program has not one but two environmental economists on the market this year!. Benji's paper studies how the pricing of a scarce resource - water - affects housing markets in the U.S. Check out his great thread below!.
🚨JMP Thread 🚨. 🚰🏡Water scarcity is a global challenge, especially in the context of climate change. How do local water scarcity management policies affect housing markets, water use, and welfare? My job market paper explores these questions in the Front Range of Colorado.🧵.

1 out of 17 is not acceptable. We must do better. That said, this is a great Simpson’s paradox example. Penn Econ faculty are primarily structural, metrics, and macro: male-dominated fields. Would love to see the residuals. Still: Penn should lead real change in these fields.
What’s the gender composition of the newest cohort of US Econ PhD students? . My peers and I found which “top-ranked” schools did well this year—Yale, Michigan, UCSD. And which schools have room for improvement—Penn, Minnesota, and many others, including Princeton and Harvard.
