Gut check as some students work on econ PhD admissions for the coming year:
The mapping from GRE score to percentile has shifted a lot for quant in the past decade. (e.g., a score above the 90th percentile 15 years ago is at the 80th percentile now). Are PhD programs filtering on score or %tile?

Context: In ACS data, I have an outcome that varies by location, occupation, and gender (Prop. of Occ-Gender group in CZ). I want to measure differences in mean by gender. [1/N]

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?

Sadie Alexander, lawyer & PhD in economics, drafted anti discrimination law in 1935. When her law partner & spouse Raymond Alexander was appointed judge, she started her own practice. She served on a federal civil rights committee in 1946 "to strengthen & safeguard the rights of the American people”
