Worth highlighting the base rates here:
***a 24% reduction (!) in Republican areas***
Remember: “You” can be singular or plural and works just fine.
Respecting pronouns is incredibly easy; it takes just the tiniest bit of effort. It’s an easy way to show support and care.

Clear evidence that employers discriminate against nonbinary individuals.
All-else-equal, disclosing that one uses "they/them” pronouns substantially lowers the chances of getting a job interview.

Do you know a grad student writing about crime or policing who will be on the 2024-2025 job market?
Send me their info! I might have a slot at SEAs for them.
Only the religious expressions they like obvs ☠️

Our work suggests it’s possible indeed! From back of the envelope calculations: even if @LiberalPH did the door-to-door policy messaging in just 10% of the electorate in 2019, the top #OtsoDiretso candidate @bamaquino would have been elected 🇵🇭
Here’s an interesting @nberpubs response from @cesicruz @jblabonne @xftrebbi - perhaps yes, but the (positive) door-to-door information campaign starts NOW.

Not an educator anymore but this hits hard. A bathroom is just a place to do #1 and #2. Quit giving folks that look like me anxious worried looks, you should be more worried about the color of your pee than whether I sit or stand to pee.

I'm a little late this year, but still want to give my annual plug for our 1-year @Miami_Econ MA program! miamioh.edu/fsb/graduate-pro…
We will consider apps until June 1, so if you have a great student whose postgrad plans aren't panning out the way they hoped, send them our way!

Would love help amplifying this call: @nberpubs with support from the @NIHAging, is launching a mentoring program for PhD students who are curious about topics of health & aging or students who are already interested and want to dive deeper and develop their ideas.

This year's econ job market is brutal. If you are studying crime/CJ policy, and want to stay in academia, here is a great option: Make your own post-doc by applying for project-based funding from our RFP.

Attention all early-career researchers in labor economics (broadly defined): You should sign up for mentoring with the Society of Labor Economists. It is a great lineup of mentors (including me and @rothstein_jesse)--we can't wait to meet you!

Q to Econtwitter:
What's the simplest paper you know that uses a convincing shift-share design with exogenous shocks?
By this I mean:
👉 transparent shocks arising from a natural experiment (or RCT)
👉 simple OLS or IV specifications, without tons of arbitrary controls & FEs
Every freeze reminds me of one of my favorite econ papers of the last 5 years
