Congrats to Berrynomics grad @ClayCollins94 and Prof Stephenson for their new article "How does having a football program affect enrollment at small private colleges?" The paper was supported by Berry's Richards Undergraduate Research grant program.

Thanks to @MattBrownEP for his coverage of our recent work on state abortion bans and women's college basketball recruiting @UofSC_HRSM @ssalaga @ClayCollins94

[Tyler Skinner @tylerlskinner]

Excited to share the publication of "State abortion bans and talent acquisition: evidence from NCAA women’s college basketball."

Results suggest women's programs located in states enacting immediate abortion bans experienced a significant drop in recruiting rankings.

I teach your paper in my class

[Philip Wallach @PhilipWallach]

I wanted to show how pervasive leadership dominance of the legislative process has gotten. After discovering the excellent data provided by @Libgober, I whipped up this graph—and, wow, it’s even more dramatic than I realized.

It's extremely crazy looking back—at the end of 2022, the average professional forecaster expected the unemployment rate to rise nearly a full percentage point in just a year!

Instead, it only rose 0.1%.

What happens to companies when their workers unionize?

Workers and managers become more liberal in their campaign contributions as a direct result.

Excited that my paper, "Descriptive Representation in an Era of Polarization," is forthcoming at the Journal of Politics! This project started as a very rough draft in my first semester of grad school, and after many rewrites, it's finally out! https://t.co/yH0yfUqJ9g

[Otis Reid @otis_reid]

My wife Christina Patterson’s new paper (w/ her excellent co-authors @JADHazell @ChenLian92 @jptguerreiro) is now out at @nberpubs, so I’m excited to share more about what I (biased though I am) think is a very nice insight on the nature of inflation and why people hate it (1/n)

Restaurant labor productivity is up a ton since COVID as a downstream effect of acute labor shortages and drastic shifts in food service operating patterns—it actually grew faster over the last 3 years than throughout the prior 30!

Recent study that gives some sense of the scale of corruption at the individual “tiger” level (vs. “flies”) in China:

Avg. $14M at the national level and $3-4M at the local/provincial level.

This is based on studies of ~800 criminal corruption cases gleaned from public data.

Automating AI research is exciting! But can LLMs actually produce novel, expert-level research ideas?

After a year-long study, we obtained the first statistically significant conclusion: LLM-generated ideas are more novel than ideas written by expert human researchers.

[Ivan T Ivanov @ivan_t_ivanov]

Very happy to finally see this in print! @TomZ_Econ and I started this project in 2015 and it took us some time figuring out banks and municipal finance 🙂. A short thread 🧵

[Arin Dube @arindube]

Pleased to introduce the own-wage elasticity repository for minimum wage studies: quantifies the employment effect in an economically interpretable way. Most studies suggest small effect on jobs.

Will be regularly updated. Joint with @benzipperer
