Repost #EconSky

I first read Goodman-Bacon's paper on #DiD and understanding the underlying 2x2 DiDs associated with every Two Way Fixed Effects, it really blew my mind. I found it tough to navigate, but i went step by step. I enclose below the Stata code, which does a simple GB DiD step by step.

My work shows that reducing everyday barriers, like transportation, can transform access to work and community life.

I am completing my PhD in May 2026 & am excited to connect about opportunities to continue this work! 6/6 #EconJobMarket #LaborEcon #DisabilityEconomics

I am excited to announce I am on the #EconJobMarket this year! 🎉 My research explores economic barriers for people with disabilities at the intersection of labor, public, and health economics.

My #EconJMP examines how reliable transportation transforms outcomes for this population. 🧵1/6
Photo shows the title page for an academic paper titled "Driving Inclusion: The Effect of Improved Transportation for People with Disabilities" by Melissa Gentry. The abstract is as follows: People with disabilities face substantial barriers to economic and social participation. I explore the extent to which these barriers are overcome by the availability of reliable and flexible transportation, which may serve as ``reliability insurance'' in case other modes of transit fail. Leveraging the roll-out of Uber, I use a stacked difference-in-differences approach to show that the availability of reliable and flexible transportation leads to improvements in social and economic participation through increased marriage rates and labor force participation, and reduced reliance on public assistance. The reduction in public assistance outweighs expected rideshare costs, lending support to the recent push towards public-private partnerships in the transportation space.

The fact that Trump is attempting to eliminate the CFPB in the US is an utter disgrace. It clearly shows he wants to dismantle ALL financial checks and balances to run roughshod over all defenceless consumers. PLEASE America don't let this happen.

US national debt hit $38 trillion. The deficit this year will be between $1.7 trillion and $2.2 trillion.

For 6 straight years, we’ve run deficits over $1 trillion.

The IMF projects the US will have the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the world by 2030.

JUST IN: US Consumer sentiment has fallen to its 2nd lowest level on record, it’s now below the lows of the 2008 financial crisis.

Consumer sentiment is a measure of how optimistic people are about the economy. Once people lose confidence, spending slows first, then hiring stops.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Screenshot of a post from Ms Rachel’s Instagram Real Question from The NY Times As you know, a group has suggested, albeit without evidence, that you are accepting money in order to further Hamas's agenda. Is that true? This accusation is not only absurd, it's patently false.

I want you to understand, regardless of your politics, the historical danger of a secret police. What happens when a militia is deployed in our neighborhoods and against our own people. Left unchecked their mandate will grow; the boundaries of acceptable identity and speech will shrink. I want you to think about elections in this future. I want you to understand that every issue you care about—any hope of participatory democracy—is downstream of this. I want you to understand what it is to love Chicago. To see your neighbors make the heartbreaking choice between showing up for work or staying safe. To march two miles long, calling out: “This is what Chicago sounds like!” To see your representatives put their bodies on the line and their voices in the fight. To form patrols to walk kids safely to school. To join rapid-response networks to document and alert your neighbors to immigration attacks. For mutual aid networks to deliver groceries and buy out street vendors so they can go home safe. To see your local journalists take the federal government to court. To talk to neighbor after neighbor, friend after friend, and hear yes, yes, it’s all hands on deck.
