great idea. i would be glad to do the same for PhD students/postdocs working on behavioral/experimental economics. #econsky
I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.

If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

You could hardly have more different books on behavioral economics. Chater and Loewenstein regret their part in what they feel has turned into a scam, while Thaler and Imas celebrate how it has gone from victory to victory.

I was the AEA's President Elect as the first Trump term began. We worried about government statistics then, and appointed a committee that included members (such as Google's Chief Economist) who might be in a position to help make reliable statistics available if the government went dark.

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal

Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts.
