Only 6% of the Economics PhD graduates in top-15 programs are come from a low socio economic background (first-generation college graduates) 🤯 It is urgent to increase diversity in economics (also) along the socio-economic dimension.

In a single day 6,000 people swimed from Morocco to Spain. Of them 1,500 are children. It's a huge humanitarian crisis that needs international attention.

Twitter community: my "rising-star" coauthor, Andreas Stegmann, is on the job market. I envy the department that will end up hiring him and having such a great young scholar and colleague in their faculty.

I don't see the point of comparing Taylor Swift to Econ textbooks or any other object. She is a person not an object. Treating women as objects is one of the pillars of sexism. Not exactly what our profession needs at this point.

The Socialist party has won the Spanish general election with 28% of the votes and 35% of the seats. A left-wing government is likely to form. And the far-right new party Vox despite getting 10% of the votes, won't be part of any government coalition.

Only the passing of a truly amazing human being could generate so much love and admiration. I hope this gives some comfort to his family and friends.
Alan Krueger brought economics to life for me
His work inspired me to become an economist
He was not just brilliant, but kind
He engaged deeply with public policy
Tremendous loss
Please share your memories, whether you knew the man or just his work

Unbelievable! The discipline that for decades confused correlation with causation now claims they are the only ones entitled to analyze public health data. Plus the link to anti-vaxxers is simply disgusting. Ignore them
