Excited to announce that I'll be joining the Center for Economic Studies (CES) at the U.S. Census Bureau as a Research Economist, starting this summer! I can't wait to get to work with some awesome colleagues!

Productive day in the office at @TerryCollege. We produced 2 PhDs. Dr Scott Spitze is going to Burning Glass Tech and Dr Fan Liang @liangfan0911 is going to @LoyolaMarymount. Very proud of both and will miss them.

@liangfan0911 is a macro/money theorist. Her job market paper asks why firms, even those w/ access to 💳, hold 💵? Answer: to signal their quality.
Fan uses a GSW directed search framework w/ adverse selection to answer this Q (thread 👇) 1/6

New paper by Peter Arcidiacono, Josh Kinsler, and @tyleransom documents anti-Asian discrimination in Harvard admissions. Typical Asian-American admit has about 20% penalty vs. white applicant. Half explained by admin personal rankings, but half not.

I always thought the economist as doctor analogy most apt.
We diagnose symptoms/forces, not exact timing of heart attack/recession
Patient is constantly evolving: past remedies might not work today
Beset by unscientific quack fringe, but public often can’t distinguish.

Ben wrote a great thread👇 on successful study strategies for graduate microeconomic theory.
This is a model for what an advice thread can be, with a mix of general, high-level tips and specific suggestions of notes and texts (with links).

New paper: More than 40% of white Harvard admits are “ALDC”: athletes, legacy, Dean’s interest (donors' kids), or children of faculty
Researchers find:
1. 70+% of such admits would be rejected w/o preferences.
2. Without ALDC preferences, total admits would be more diverse.
