Using children of individuals in Philadelphia and New York, I find no effects on adult socioeconomic outcomes. However, this masks interesting heterogeneity based on whether an individual moved to a different county. (7/8)

I find that individuals who moved from Philadelphia and their children are less negatively affected than those who stayed. My findings point to the persistent impacts of institutional discrimination, especially for those unable to escape it. (8/8)

#EconTwitter I want to give a transparent perspective on my experience with finances as a graduate student. I hope this thread can assist people starting or considering a PhD program in the Fall of 2023. 1/16

I don't think we realize how costly an Econ PhD can be for our emotional wellbeing until the moment we get there. Too many times I interact with emotionally drained students who are smart and good researchers, but have had their self-worth depleted.

The church isn’t losing the next generation of Christians because of pluralism, secularism, or liberalism. The church is losing the next generation of Christians because of pursuing political power by any means necessary rather than the power of Christ’s love with integrity.
