I contributed to the incredible series put together by two young superstar economists. It was fun reflecting on the last decade of child rearing. Not without its challenges but absolutely worth it. @Federomei1 @alessandrapeter
In week 15 of One Extra Year, the amazing @ProfLisaBKahn reflects on having her three daughters in a department that was not (yet) prepared to support its faculty during motherhood. She “spent quite a bit of time in my first pregnancy convincing my university to provide parental leave.”
Thank you, Lisa, and the many other extraordinary women who started paving this road for us younger ones!

I entered UofC undergrad in 1999 and couldn't agree more about Hugo's enormously positive impact on the institution, despite the backlash he faced. He was also a truly kind person and mentor (+ brilliant economist ). Grateful for my time at UofC and esp learning from Hugo.

Very interesting article in NYT by @jeannasmialek (and @bencasselman) on how the pandemic recession may shift labor demand, with potential for greater automation. For more on this topic, check out my paper with @ProfLisaBKahn: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12….
Well said!
1. It's a privilege to be mentored like this; even better to contribute to science at the same time.
2. I call BS on anybody who claims they had no idea this program would be evaluated.
3. For people who think polishing up a paper is "wasted" effort, sorry not sorry.

“The shutdowns are not what have been driving the economic collapse; it’s the global pandemic," says Rochester economist Lisa Kahn (@ProfLisaBKahn), who shares her insights on the current recession. | uofr.us/396s6UY

#EconTwitter: for teaching, your favorite examples of the relevance of opportunity cost, or people getting decisions wrong by ignoring opportunity cost? Bonus points if there is a pop culture reference.
Naturally 😜
We have fallen two ranks; DellaVigna/Malmendier rank ahead of us. Blau and Kahn rank ahead of us. We have sank to #11.
Great news! But by my calc, NYS has 1.4 million residents in the top priority group (healthcare workers and nursing home staff and residents). How will we choose who gets vaccinated and when is the rest coming?

At the @AEA’s 1971 annual meeting, a group of female Yale graduate students plastered signs calling for women economists to meet later. The outcome of this meeting was @CSWEP and increased support for female economists. Full story economics.yale.edu/news/youn…
