In the first part of this paper, I use a rigorous research design to estimate the causal effect of X on Y. I then turn to testing mechanisms by over-interpreting a bunch of correlations in the data.

I’d go further than this. Seminar norms should match the talk’s contents.
For example, if it’s about rational inattention, not only can folks leave, they can make the speaker go through slides in any order

My idea for Econ seminars: speakers can go for as long as they want and talk about whatever they want. But we change the norm so that the audience can leave whenever they want and it’s nbd. Let supply and demand for attention determine seminar length/structure, etc.

My friend and PhD colleague @bmottironi.bsky.social is on the market with a great paper!! Read and learn about labour market power and entrepreneurial misallocation 📈
Alright, I've got zero followers right now—let's see if this thread on my JMP can escape the depths of the internet.
TL;DR: Labour market power leads to large productivity losses.
Keep reading if you’re interested in misallocation, tech diffusion, and regional disparities (you should be!).

An important insight from Claudia Goldin: the “child penalty” is primarily the result of workplaces penalising women for their preference for flexibility.
This insight should inform labour policies. #econsky

Nick Cox got a call from the Nobel committee but he told them that they had to upload the data first.

Have been lurking for the past couple of days so pushing myself to an introduction:
Hi #EconSky, I'm a PhD student in Labour Econ, currently working on social mobility and occupational choice. I'm on the market so send happy thoughts!
(Or a job offer)
