I am TA’ing first-year PhD core Macroeconomics sequence III (on international macro) next quarter! 😎Super excited to teach the stuff I love while also a bit nervous on the workload and the challenging material. 😅 I can do it! 💪

Haha when I applied for Ph.D., I actually only got one offer (UCLA). There were a few waitlisted schools but didn’t manage to convert to offers in time. I am so glad I accepted UCLA ☀️😊
I’m all for “academic rejection” transparency. But if you got rejected from just Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley, but got into Princeton and Michigan, as though you really overcame some shit, maybe just keep that to yourself.
It's heartwarming to see that there're more female candidates working on topics of international finance! 😊 There're few female JMCs in economics, but much much fewer working on macro/international finance 🫤 Genuinely hope the dynamics can be improved in the future.
Today I unexpectedly received a FedEx package for an online order I placed in 2022 that was lost in transit 🚚😅 wow! Seems that the package has been traveling internationally for almost two years before it finally reached me😂 I want to hear all its stories.
I still cannot believe this sad news… 💔I got to know Powell cat only a couple weeks ago and have come to say hi to him almost every day since then. He was a happy and healthy kitty 😢 May he rest in peace 💛💛💛
Here is a picture I took last week during his sunbath ☀️
Powell Cat was a true icon at

I just realized I am presenting this weekend at
@egsc_wustl
where my session chair is Nobel Prize winner Professor Dybvig!😎 So excited!
Philip Dybvig – awarded this year’s prize in economic sciences – was born in 1955.
He is a professor of banking and finance at Washington University in St. Louis, Olin Business School, MO, USA. (

Had my first in-person teaching session today in like (?) two years. 😬Students were excited and participated very actively with masks 😷 on. They made my day so happy! 😀✌️ Thank you UCLA and Bruins🥰

The IMIM seminar is a wonderful platform in international finance/macro and has weekly sessions that invite both junior and senior scholars to present their work. I recently presented my JMP in this seminar and received one of the best discussions I've ever had!😀
Recruiting season for econ+finance PhDs has begun. You should have a website, but not just any website. Here are some slides that I made for my students -- -- that job market candidates may find useful. What follows is a thread summary.

Here is what it says:
There are multiple matches for Chang He, including a Chinese restaurant and a PhD candidate. A PhD candidate in economics at UCLA, Chang He is also a cat mom.
I love they caught the cat part 😆
It's almost time for my annual "women on the econ job market thread"(!!). A few tips for (all) JMCs who want their work elevated on this bird site:
(1) Have your own website! Here is a guide to building a good one:
It's been an unprecedently productive week...
We have added 5 new faculty members:

So glad I got to participate in the CSWEP conference for women and non-binary students! So many exciting projects, so many positive vibes!
Thank you

Such an interesting paper! I cannot stop digging into the details the moment I opened it. Look forward to seeing it presented on Friday at the NBER IFM Meeting!

Please retweet and take a look at Stepan’s excellent and interesting papers! ☺️His paper on consumer reviews and pricing is so relevant to our daily life and speaks to everyone including macro-finance people like me 🙌
My good friend/coauthor Stepan Aleksenko is on the market this year! He is an excellent theorist and one of the smartest people I know. Since the start of grad school we have written two papers together, and I have learned so much from him. Check him out:
Thanks to
@AtlantaFed
and
@PrincetonBCF
for organizing this very topical conference! Our paper in this shows that Black/Hispanic borrowers are much less likely to refi their mortgages, with significant implications for inequality, pricing, and the distributional impact of QE.
Thrilled to announce I'm joining
@nd_econ
next Fall. I'm so happy to have found a great home. I'm grateful for the support of many people. The best is yet to come! 💚💙💛
Pro tip: pick up the phone while on the market, it might be your dream school! 😉

My colleagues are organizing this amazing conference in Applied Economics! 😃👇 Applications are open for Ph.D. students from all places (not just within Southern CA)
I read great applied JMPs on interesting & timely topics.
Here's some writing advice from better scholars/writers than me. Advice I still struggle to follow.
Once you have a draft, you've done the hard work: data collection & careful analysis.
Now, get your message across!🧵1/n

My grad school time has been *very positively* impacted by interactions with

Lot of really great IO research this year in our Industrial Organization Society sessions at 2023 SEA Conference. Last session had a full house plus. Big thanks to all the folks that contributed.

An econ student wrote me today: "....a couple of years ago I read your advice for lost graduate students - and oddly it inspired me to try applying to graduate schools. Reread it again today (with my mom, who also enjoyed it a lot!)." So here it is again:
Came to California DMV at 11 am and got done at 4:50 pm, just 10 min before they close. 😂 A true American experience! Also, a guy came at 4:51 pm and was hoping to be served. I am jealous of his optimism.
