International students don’t take opportunities from American students. They create them.

Mingyu Chen (PhD @princetonecon.bsky.social now@Amazon) built a powerful tool showing exactly how much international students contribute by state, degree type, & over time.

Please share this tool far & wide!

"We can heal the sick and save children’s lives, all inexpensively... We properly honor a firefighter who saves a single child, but three cheers for us as taxpayers for rescuing millions of children around the world from AIDS, starvation and disease.

That is, until January."

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities. 🧵

What are your go-to materials? What is your favorite book?

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Want to teach something that is fun and practical to Emory 4+1 students!

Just came across this cool paper! "A Signal to End Child Marriage: Theory and Experimental Evidence from Bangladesh." by Nina Buchmann, Erica Field, Rachel Glennerster, Shahana Nazneen, and Xiao Yu Wang. 2023. American Economic Review www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=... #Econsky 📈📉
Child marriage remains common even where female schooling and employment opportunities have grown. We experimentally evaluate a financial incentive to delay marriage alongside a girls' empowerment program in Bangladesh. While girls eligible for two years of incentive are 19 percent less likely to marry underage, the empowerment program failed to decrease adolescent marriage. We show that these results are consistent with a signaling model in which bride type is imperfectly observed but preferred types (socially conservative girls) have lower returns to delaying marriage. Consistent with our theoretical prediction, we observe substantial spillovers of the incentive on untreated nonpreferred types.
