My least favorite seminar format is "clarifying questions only." I guess this is necessary for short talks, but it mostly destroys the illuminating back and forth that makes seminars engaging and interesting. For longer talks, by the time you get to questions, half the audience

Another great thing about econ seminars is that it's where you can observe how people actually think about and evaluate research — it's the hidden curriculum revealed. If you only read the published and working papers, it is very hard to learn how researchers actually think.
Econ seminar culture is built on the assumption that the audience knows something that the speaker doesn't, and that the speaker values that information. A very important thing the audience knows and the speaker doesn't: Is the speaker making any sense at all? If nobody has any

The hidden curriculum: As a first-generation college student, I didn’t understand it. My ingenious PhD student on the job market this year unpacks the concept—from theory to field experiments. If you’re seeking an exceptionally creative scholar with a matching work ethic, please
@CunaMichae77590’s JMP studies the hidden curriculum—unwritten rules for success. Combining data and field experiments, he finds first-gen students engage less in key actions, e.g. networking, due to low awareness. Read more: https://t.co/vi1XlIj8S3

Very good puppy!!!
This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10

This is a reflection of managerial capture: raising impressive buildings is the kind of visible output that can be branded as a signal of achievement in a manager’s career. Investing in high-quality research, which is less tangible and often produces visible outcomes

Glad to see my paper on Political Dynasties and Development with @AdeelMalikOx and Jean-Philippe Platteau come out as a @UCStoneCenter working paper !
How do political dynasties impact development? Using election results and nightlight data from Punjab, Pakistan, researchers find that dynasties negatively impact growth, persisting by offering security instead of growth-enhancing goods. Read it now → https://t.co/jIsXA9kTsx

Why Don't Struggling Students Do Their Homework? In a new study we use a field experiment to identify a structural model of learning. We find that low productivity, not low motivation, is the stronger predictor of academic struggles. Importantly, school quality augments
