📢now forthcoming in ECMA!

The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia

Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations.

Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧵

[Ali Uppal @AliUppalEcon]

@annastansbury Congrats Anna, this is a very impressive and important piece of work!! Really excited to see how your pipeline in this space develops!

[Ali Uppal @AliUppalEcon]

Look out for @fr_amodeo on the Job Market! His JMP and broader research agenda is super interesting and examines important policy-relevant questions in macro.

We were in grad school together so I can say with confidence that he would make an awesome colleague!

🚨 I’m on the #EconJobMarket!

My JMP, “Mind the Gap: Disagreement and Credible Monetary Policy”, asks a simple question: what happens to monetary policy transmission when the Fed and financial markets disagree on the future path of rates?

Economics Journals as Tennis Tournaments
🧵(for an extremely niche audience)

Quarterly Journal of Economics = Wimbledon

The oldest and most influential event, but also clubby, snobby, and elitist. To win it you must train on a very particular surface/ZIP code.

Very happy to see this paper forthcoming! It was a lot of fun working with Stephan and Sergio on this project.

The paper makes a simple point: the root cause of most bank failures is losses and solvency problems, rather than self-fulfilling bank runs.

[Ali Uppal @AliUppalEcon]

@EmilVerner Congratulations, Emil! Great to see this paper officially forthcoming!

Couldn't quite work out whether the close to 10kg (20 pound) weight gain since last summer is due to the job market or the baby.

Identification is hard!
