@dhfeld1 @TrevonDLogan I agree regarding explicit statements but, with refereeing & editing, it'd be easy to enact racial or gender favoritism under pretexts that would seem valid.

[Aaron Sojourner @aaronsojourner]

Elite-institution economists tend to be editors & referees, influencing who gets pubs & tenure.

When they think they're anonymous on EJMR, a non-trivial share evidently act in biased, toxic ways.

How abt when refereeing, anonymous to authors & other referees but not editor?

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for awhile now: Law360's NLRB Precedent Tracker. We're tracking dozens of areas in which the GC is seeking to change precedent, with details on issues, vehicles, briefs, etc. Check it out at the link

The History of the Lynching Site Where Jason Aldean Filmed a Music Video

Henry Choate, an 18-year-old Black man, was hanged outside the Maury County Courthouse in Tennessee in 1927 after he was falsely accused of attacking a white girl.

Half of US states were experiencing record-low unemployment — or very close to it — in June, underscoring the strength of the nation’s labor market. Most of the rest weren't that far away. https://t.co/nDO3gHAygp via @economics @atanzi @readep

I am definitely unfamiliar with the research, and below I will tell you why I think the research is wrong, based on what I heard someone once say.

Cool paper at NBER HF (Kancherla and Tazhitdinova) finds people leave money on the table by selling stocks 364 days after buying; would save 10-15% in taxes by waiting one day

Suggests people may not be as responsive to cap gains tax as we might think

conflating mental illness with misogyny and racism is an insult to those who have struggled with mental health themselves or in their families

I'm so excited about this new working paper, the first quasi-experimental study of racial discrimination in foster care decisions.

Since 1/10 Black kids spends time in foster care, but 1/20 white kids does, deeply analyzing disparities is key

[Aaron Sojourner @aaronsojourner]

@Andrew___Baker It's well wrought.

Question for DJs, you wake up behind a turntable, you have to choose one song to get people dancing, but you cannot see the audience

1. What’s the obvious choice?
2. What’s a not so obvious choice?
