Hi #EconTwitter,

I am on the Job Market!

My primary fields are Labor, Migration, and Political Economy. My secondary fields are Macro and Growth.

In my 1st JMP, I examine how the global spread of the Internet affects immigrants' socio-economic integration in the US.🧵

@TomanBarsbai @AlexMYarkin on how the internet changed the migration experience. As access expands at home, immigrants in the US stay connected to origin networks, leading to lower English proficiency and naturalization, but less segregation and higher well-being.

@TomanBarsbai @BristolUniEcon Thank you Toman, and see you in a bit!

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

Very excited about the upcoming visit to the @BristolUniEcon for the Workshop on Migration Economics.

@cmicmeissner Exactly :) Have you seen this https://t.co/jVGwa1jiMK UCD^2

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

It's been a treat to welcome @giov_peri at @EconomicsUCD last Friday. As always, extremely energetic and motivating presentation, lots of other research talk around, and a bonus hike around Dublin. That's how good visits should be 😊

@SteveStuWill The actually interesting thing about this graph is how incredibly close the per capita numbers of metal bands across countries are... Ranging from 4.5 to 8 - is almost like there is a law of nature there :)

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

Very excited for the upcoming visit to the @EconomicsatYork and @DUBusSchool this week. Come to my talks or send me a note if in the vicinity!

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

@YanagizawaD Thanks David, that's terrifying. I wonder if one could think of a world where one would ask the authors to "present" their findings and explain all that's in there in the paper (like with BA students' papers and presentations these days) - as a way to test AI-generated vs. not...

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

Another amazing line-up of seminars at @EconomicsUCD across 4 groups: applied micro, macro/international, theory/behavioural, and public/political econ. It was a pleasure to help organize this. Please reach out if interested to come next year!

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

Last day before the teaching term starts, and it had to be like that 😊

Powerscourt Estate, one of the gems here in Dublin (in other words, don't forget to submit your paper to the EEA-ESEM to be held at @ucddublin this year!)

@MarcoRanaldi_ @EconomicsUCD Fantastic Marco, thanks so much! Looks super interesting, and I'll see if I can include parts of it.

[Alexander Yarkin @AlexMYarkin]

Fantastic evening at @IndeedIE in Dublin Docklands discussing data, research, and all with @PawelAdrjan .
