I'm delighted to share a new article that Peter Catron, Mingze Li, and I have just published in @ASR_Journal. Using web scraping, linked censuses, and machine learning, we find that citizenship benefits immigrants least likely to naturalize. 🧵👇

We argue that, for immigrants in more precarious positions, citizenship may alter whether their claims to employment, promotion, and fair treatment are recognized. Immigrants who already possess markers of integration may receive many of these advantages prior to naturalization.

wacky that ‘ai writing detection is impossible’ has seeped into the popular consciousness all while theres strong proof that @pangram can detect it
i have no financial affiliation w them, they are just 1 of 2 subs that i am actively grateful for (other one being midjourney)
the fact that every major social media platform hasnt adopted @pangram as an autofilter for posts is insane

Cool paper from @medialab now showing clear proof of cognitive debt when using AI to write essays. Prior work from @vishakh_pk , @maxkreminski had shown how AI assisted writing leads to homogenization.
Over reliance on AI for cognitive tasks clearly has its share of harms.

When I first tried GPT3 I remember thinking writing as a skill was basically over. Now I think the opposite is true. LLMs still can’t write, everybody else’s abilities are atrophying, and being able to clearly express yourself in prose seems like it will only get more valuable

New study: The relative wage premium for going to college has halved for low-income Americans since 1960.
What is to blame? Rising selectivity? Tuition hikes? State disinvestment? We decompose changes in the premium since 1900 to find out.

This fall I'm teaching an intro stats class for graduate students in sociology, and I'm looking for a textbook. The course covers probability, sampling, and basic data analysis, barely touching on regression. Does anyone have a textbook they like? I'd love one with R examples.
Come see me present new work with @_kvelasco from our project on queer migrants at #PAA2025!
CCPR Affiliate @nathanihoff will present “The Geography of Immigrants in Same-Sex Couples in the United States” tomorrow at 11:00 AM EST in Farragut North! Don’t miss it! #PAA #PAA2025 @UCLA @PopAssocAmerica

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R.

Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.
