Worth highlighting the base rates here: ***a 24% reduction (!) in Republican areas*** Remember: “You” can be singular or plural and works just fine. Respecting pronouns is incredibly easy; it takes just the tiniest bit of effort. It’s an easy way to show support and care. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Clear evidence that employers discriminate against nonbinary individuals. All-else-equal, disclosing that one uses "they/them” pronouns substantially lowers the chances of getting a job interview. https://t.co/VJ8LlQR77H

Do you know a grad student writing about crime or policing who will be on the 2024-2025 job market? Send me their info! I might have a slot at SEAs for them.

Only the religious expressions they like obvs ☠️ https://t.co/XUwoOPpEm6

Our work suggests it’s possible indeed! From back of the envelope calculations: even if @LiberalPH did the door-to-door policy messaging in just 10% of the electorate in 2019, the top #OtsoDiretso candidate @bamaquino would have been elected 🇵🇭

Not an educator anymore but this hits hard. A bathroom is just a place to do #1 and #2. Quit giving folks that look like me anxious worried looks, you should be more worried about the color of your pee than whether I sit or stand to pee. https://t.co/RB5ymZxozY

I'm a little late this year, but still want to give my annual plug for our 1-year @Miami_Econ MA program! https://t.co/tQXMtOShg5 We will consider apps until June 1, so if you have a great student whose postgrad plans aren't panning out the way they hoped, send them our way!

Seiji Ozawa RIP 😔

We have an upcoming informational on Monday, February 26, 2024 3-4pm ET. More information on this link: https://t.co/kSP7gm6zz2

Would love help amplifying this call: @nberpubs with support from the @NIHAging, is launching a mentoring program for PhD students who are curious about topics of health & aging or students who are already interested and want to dive deeper and develop their ideas.

This year's econ job market is brutal. If you are studying crime/CJ policy, and want to stay in academia, here is a great option: Make your own post-doc by applying for project-based funding from our RFP. https://t.co/xQ6kvQ29xG

Attention all early-career researchers in labor economics (broadly defined): You should sign up for mentoring with the Society of Labor Economists. It is a great lineup of mentors (including me and @rothstein_jesse)--we can't wait to meet you! https://t.co/jghoe1Ua7Y.

Let's gooooo

Q to Econtwitter: What's the simplest paper you know that uses a convincing shift-share design with exogenous shocks? By this I mean: 👉 transparent shocks arising from a natural experiment (or RCT) 👉 simple OLS or IV specifications, without tons of arbitrary controls & FEs

Every freeze reminds me of one of my favorite econ papers of the last 5 years https://t.co/5FzrVxNEDN

Another snow day with Dr.@troy_alivio

The rising generation of Econ PhD's may never understand this site. 8:57 am, a bunch of job candidates waiting outside of hotel suites ready for their first interview of the day Econ Job Market #ASSA2010

Today's Job Market Candiates would never understand. This was my job market at ASSA/AEA 2014 in Philadelphia.
