Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy.
These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure).
And now onto the scholars... 👇

In my experience, people are generally happy you've thought of them and make it easier for them to submit

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

I am excited to be on the #EconSky job market. My #EconJMP on Nepal's 2002 abortion legalization finds weaker son-biased stopping, more prenatal sex selection (~1 in 75 girls missing), and longer breastfeeding for surviving girls, a clear quantity quality tradeoff.

During the first UK COVID-19 lockdown, social distancing had many unintended side-effects. One of the darker ones: a shift in domestic abuse (DA) patterns. In a paper just published in Economica, we dig into how exposure plays a crucial role. Link to study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Incredible paper that shows what I have long believed at my core: that research & teaching can complement each other, and that having research-active faculty teach undergrads is a very good thing!

Did you know that walking distance to class is a significant and meaningful predictor of grade performance in first year students? We didn't either, so we tested the proposition using data from W&M over two academic years when dorm allocation to first year students was random.

My JMP asks a classic question:
Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation?
To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont.
