i'm on the job market with a paper about political sorting in the labor market! it's perhaps harder to choose your coworkers than your friends or who you follow on twitter -- could the workplace be less segregated than other places where democrats and republicans tend not to mix?

Super cool new paper by my (brilliant) friend @jdikatz. People reacted much differently to liquidity from the CARES Act student loan pause vs direct stimulus. This changes how we should think about, for example, the effects of the pause on inflation https://t.co/RpKr1I8YZA
