A father and son are both economists. They work at separate universities. When the son comes up for tenure, the chair says 'I cannot evaluate this case because this is my son.' How is this possible?

Hot take: You would not be able to publish AJR 2001 in an econ journal today

(that would be plagiarism which is REALLY frowned upon)

quote with an economics Christmas movie synopsis, I'll start:

A researcher's meddlesome dad misinterprets an "exciting proposal" as the romantic kind. Rather than disappoint him, she ropes her coauthor into playing fiancé for Christmas. Can modeling love lead these economists to the real thing?

starting to like it here but it won't feel like home until:

- there is a fight about pre-docs in the profession
- there's moral outrage about randomization that involves economists
- there's a rapid takedown of a popular empirical method driven by the spread of critiques on here

in the time it takes me to produce one tweet @draliceevans.bsky.social will just fire off 9 newsletters with analysis so thoughtful that it remembered my mother's birthday and bought her flowers
