My childhood dream of being covered in @TheEconomist came true. Unfortunately, it is as part of the article titled "What the failure of a superstar student reveals about economics" 😅

I'm on the academic job market! My research examines the implications of exclusionary environments for individuals' careers, team performance, and organizations—with a focus on knowledge work. In my JMP, I study how sexual misconduct affects scientific production.
When sexual misconduct at universities becomes public, departments publish less (roughly nine fewer papers over five years). The productivity hit comes from disclosure, not the misconduct itself (i.e., organizational costs of reputational crises).

🚨1/N Really excited to announce a new working paper, “Interviews” 🚨 We demonstrate that interviews allow workers to screen firms and preview whether the job is a good match for them—using ~500k Glassdoor reports + a randomized field experiment. 🧵

🚨Thrilled to share our Paper🚨 Does science focus on the diseases that hurt people the most? When deadly outbreaks hit, how does research respond? Our work with @Prashant_Garg_ @fetzert shows how medical research worldwide responds to both endemic burdens and emergencies. 🧵👇

This seems to be true for most disciplines, including medicine. 😞
This paper shows that authors from low-income countries remain excluded from top-ranked economics journals and receive less attention from other economists. Developing country authors are far less likely to be published in top journals even when holding citation counts constant.

Public disorder and decay feels—still—like the biggest free lunch left in British politics for anyone willing to take it sufficiently seriously.

Further, the easiest way to get an applied micro paper is to simply have some interesting data
easiest way to get a publishable applied micro paper is take any question and ask "how can I DiD this?" (@Prashant_Garg_ & @fetzert, 2024)

easiest way to get a publishable research idea is just take the first thing that comes to mind and ask yourself "how can I apply the fourier transform to this"

🌍 Next to value added embodied in international trade, embodied emissions are gaining increasing attention, especially in the policy space. Take carbon border adjustment mechanisms. But how have emissions and value-added embodied in trade evolved over the past decades?

New paper on where medical research happens vs where disease burden is. Research responsiveness to local burden has doubled since 1990 but big gaps remain. Full thread by fantastic coauthor @HongyuZZZ below 👇

Since we are back to meta-economics, I want to re-up the change we witness: decline of theory and rise of empirical, causal methods.

It's actually great that people argue on the Internet about whether we should starts from assumptions on utility or from observing individual choices. Makes us feel as is theory was still a bit relevant. Good old times.
