as a junior woman academic, it's hard to figure out how to get invited for opportunities. my go-to strategy is to just ask and take the no's on the chin.
so i'm asking: does anyone w/an econ/social science/policy podcast need a guest about DV, welfare, crime, incarceration, or public health?

Can anyone recommend resources on using Git specifically for academic research papers/projects?
Seems like best practices differ from those for developing an app or a project with A LOT of collaborators. Looking for tips on branches, comments, when to commit, etc.

TFW you just submitted a paper to the JFE with enough footnotes a plenty and references to online appendices 😅🤦♂️
This place needs more frivolous fun.
Footnotes just suck. Unless you are writing a history or law paper, they represent a lack of organization of thought.
The same thing goes for badly placed references to internet appendices.

New week, new housing chart.
Before 2000, about 15 percent of new American housing units were mobile homes. Since then? A touch above 6 percent, which is way above what I would have guessed.

New week, new housing chart. Did you know that the US is at record high levels of housing construction? The strength is largely driven by large multifamily buildings.

Wildest thing about the American economy I've learned after two years at the Federal Reserve: Almost 1% of US GDP is residential realtor commissions!

Back to my "commute" between New Haven and DC after leave. You learn a few things when you commute with Amtrak.
1) If you bring a bike (only $20, that's not bad) you have to take of the front wheel? Better have a quick release, unlike me 😬

Lets assume my friend posted a working paper and then heard about a JMP on the same topic. Similar research questions and overlapping methods. Both papers claim to be "first". Work done completely independently. How to sensitively approach this? Don't want to ruin/poach a JMP. #EconSky 📉📈
