Thanks @AEAjournals for featuring our work on OB unit closures in the US! Headline result: While mothers—especially in rural areas—travel farther for care, they receive better care. @royer_heather @corey_d_white
Obstetric unit closures in the US have little to no impact on maternal and infant health outcomes, but they may lead women to deliver in higher-quality hospitals, say researchers @MonashUni and @EconomicsUcsb. #Chart

The Monash Econ department is delighted to have four amazing economists join us this next year! We look forward to your arrival. @MonashBusiness Recruiting is hard work, but it was fun meeting so many new economists working on important topics. The future is bright!
What a fantastic recruiting year we had! Monash Economics welcomes Lisa Botbol (Toulouse), Alexander Haas @ahaas_econ (Oxford), Santiago Hermo (Brown), and Kate Huang (Caltech) as our newest members. Great people and great economists all.

#EconTwitter #econjobmarket Job market candidates: Please triple-check the differences in time zones. It breaks my heart when a candidate is confused with the time differences and they show up late. First impressions matter a lot!

Thanks for coming @ash_craig! I really enjoyed your paper!
Thanks @stef_fischer for an amazing conference at @MonashBusiness. It was great to meet and/or catch up with so many applied researchers doing extraordinary work with all kinds of admin data (+see Aussie wildlife!) Fun, perfectly organised, and I learned so much from you all.

I am currently reviewing JM applications. It breaks my heart when a candidate is missing a LOR (or 3), especially when it is from their primary advisor. They have (likely) worked v hard over the past many years to get to this point.
