Five years after undergrad, I’m so excited to announce I’m going to @BrownUniversity to start my PhD in Economics this fall! Thank you to @StevenDLevitt, @tedmiguel, and Solene Delecourt, my parents, and my wonderful @UChi_Economics education. Now it begins, @Brown_Economics!

But my latest and biggest accomplishment is turning up temp from 68 to 72 in the Brown library

[Anya Marchenko @AnyaMarchenko6]

I have always been really cold in public spaces. Now, I seek retribution for a lifetime of being cold! I will ask ppl to turn up the temp in airplanes. restaurants. Coffee shops. I don’t care if ur hot. I’m cold. And the cold people have been marginalized since AC was invented.

@instrumenthull I noticed this too. But Uchicago itself “only” 4th in terrible-ness!

so far reading the methodology section of the EJMR paper is the most confusing part of my summer

[Anya Marchenko @AnyaMarchenko6]

So are people who come to US for grad school more likely to quit smoking bc no one in the US smokes? If so, is US grad school better for health than european grad school (irrespective of income)?

After a grueling first year of the phd, feels validating to find this in the mail today ☺️

Farm animal suffering is a hidden cost of cheap meat. Exactly how much is it worth? @lauragersony explores:

my favorite paper recently, partially bc it says i'm right to be curmudgeonly about remote work. for engineers, working in person means getting more feedback. This is esp important if you're young or a woman (women/young ppl who received less feedback were more likely to leave)

me about to absolutely murder any nuance in my data

[Anya Marchenko @AnyaMarchenko6]

I’ve been feeling uneasy today reading the GPT-4 news. Like the world is moving too fast for us to grasp. Reading Mary Oliver poetry is the right antidote for tech anxiety

@instrumenthull New seminar fit? I’ll wear my crazy shirt if u wear yours

[Anya Marchenko @AnyaMarchenko6]

@danascoot I feel seen

[Anya Marchenko @AnyaMarchenko6]

Public good idea: why haven’t Econ grad students crowdsourced MWG solutions better than Tadelis et al? Tadelis solutions are widely used but have many mistakes. We could have repository for MWG solns, share >1 soln per problem, downvote bad solns, etc

@instrumenthull Learning IV in Torus class rn. On the edge of my seat to see these slides next year

The US had a draft in WWII but I don’t think many would say that the US soldiers who fought the Nazis were slaves.

[Robin Hanson @robinhanson]

War draftees are slaves. Ukraine has such a draft. US is heavily supporting Ukraine. Thus US is supporting slavery. https://t.co/Ko1LZWyEGq

Student: We can go upstairs to a bigger room if you like
TA: No, because then they will see us. We live in the darkness. When you’re a TA you will understand
