Just back from giving a talk to 2nd year students on how to approach research, how to write a paper. Abhijit was coming after me (good thing he didn't go first, tough act to follow!)

It's a treat to have a paper highlighted in the NBER Digest!
Couples' choices about when to relocate offer a lens into how they value each person's career success. In both Sweden and Germany, they seem to prioritize men's careers, even when the woman has similar earning potential. bit.ly/MTO-T

A policy summary of our paper, featured in @voxdev.bsky.social. This is useful evidence for future reforms to public teacher hiring systems, like the one that should take place soon in Colombia!

How a teacher hiring reform in Colombia backfired
A merit-based teacher hiring reform succeeded in recruiting teachers with better qualifications, but the replacement of more experienced teachers led to a decline in student outcomes.

Modern American planning is kind of the worst of both worlds: rigid micromanagement of development on private land combined with virtually no plan whatsoever for the public realm, e.g. streets and parks. Not how I would have designed the system!
