This is a good prompt (since I too am rarely asked this question).
For me, I am not a particularly high-powered researcher in terms of math or brilliance. I'm usually decent at translation and clarity. However, academia only rewards this sometimes (not always!). Often, you're just not novel.

Hey #econsky -- asking for a friend... let's say you got a split decision at AER, but ultimately rejected, and the editor suggested revising and transferring to AEJ Policy.
Under what conditions would you take the transfer option to send reports to AEJ:P vs. just submitting to AEJ:P directly?

ungatedresearch.org is a wonderful public good being developed by Martin Abel and Susie Godlonton.
It's a website with links to the latest ungated version of papers published in several economics journals.
Especially valuable in LMICs where many scholars don't have access to the journals.

Also ask about emergency management plans. When I got on council, I learned that not only did my city not really have an emergency management plan, but the total amount budgeted for emergencies was…$1,000. Seriously. The city manager began taking actions immediately.
Here's a call to action: ask your City Council Rep if your community has a climate resilience plan. If no, when will they have one? If yes, when was it last updated? Does it help vulnerable communities? We looked at the 77 biggest U.S. cities: HALF didn't have one. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

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.

First, context.
America is mired in a pedestrian safety crisis. Deaths among those walking (and cycling, too) recently hit 40-year highs. No other rich country is experiencing anything like the chart below.

Anecdotally, my prior is there is extreme heterogeneity in why people decide to migrate
I think for people higher in the wealth distribution, the decision to migrate stems from a desire of a better quality of life as opposed to lack of economic opportunities.
