My job market's done, and I'm heading back to the NYC area! Excited to join Princeton Econ as a postdoc next year and NYU Stern Econ as an AP in 2026.
In a happy twist of fate, this means @cconlon.bsky.social and I will be colleagues exactly 10 years after our first PyBLP commit:

Forthcoming at the Journal of Political Economy: We find that consumer product markups increased more than 25 percent from 2006 to 2019.
One contribution is an approach to estimate IO-style models at scale, yielding flexible consumer preferences and estimates of marginal costs.

I used AI to help write a paper and got it published. All in record time. What does this mean for research? My latest post. open.substack.com/pub/joshuaga...
What will AI do to (p)research?
AI makes doing and communicating research much easier. Will there be any point to it?

#econsky What is, in your opinion, the biggest question IO has credibly settled?
Seems most of our contributions are either (a) fancy methods; (b) negative results (e.g. don't regress price on HHI); (c) narrow in scope (yogurts, etc); or (d) contested (have markups actually risen?)

It is worth a read for all IO Economists (and perhaps more importantly macro economists who've recently discovered IO).

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content.
But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand.
