I am excited to announce I am on the #EconSky Job Market! In my #EconJMP, I find that weighting a teacher's test-score impacts differently across students increases the predictive power of test-score value-added measures for a teacher's impact on high school graduation.

An economist reached out and asked where they might publish a review they'd written.
Here's my (certainly incomplete) list of 30+ journals where economists publish reviews. bit.ly/3QfaE6m
(Additions welcome with a specific review example!)

Darkly funny how a strong emphasis on unbiasedness via the credibility revolution plausibly ended up making the published literature more biased.
Wild how economists and political scientists worry so much about unbiased tests **in their papers** and yet basically ignore how their journals filter on significance. Given our noisy tests, the latter creates huge bias away from zero.

My PhD student Case Tatro has made a very helpful guide to making specification curves in Stata:
