👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!
Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:
"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"
The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

@martinauccioli.bsky.social came and gave an excellent talk this week @tufts.edu about how increases to work regularity (not necessarily total hours) can lower the child penalty for mothers using data from a law change in Australia. Such a great paper!

If you’re on the academic job market this year, it’s a great time to submit proposals for external funding based on your JMP or other ongoing work. Make this your back-up plan! See thread below.
This year's Econ job market has, by all accounts, been brutal. If you're still not sure what you're doing next year, applying for external funding to continue your work is a great way to buy yourself time & options. It's a way to "build your own post-doc." Check out AV's open RFPs!
Back by popular demand! We just released another call for proposals using RCTs and quasi-experiments.
3-page LOIs are due March 14. Details here: bit.ly/4ambjv3

With rent control in the news, it’s a good moment to recall the research of @rebeccadiamond.bsky.social and co-authors.
They show that strict rent control in San Francisco reduced the availability of rental housing, eventually *raising* rental costs.
