My generic career advice, as an economist-teacher-blogger-program director with an Econ PhD from a dept. outside T30 (T50?). As with most career advice, N = 1.
1. The danger in optimizing for a very specific career outcome is that you could get stuck at a local max.
2. Lean into your comparative advantages.
3. Send signals to different audiences. Research papers are one kind of signal, but so are blogs, policy white papers, talks, tweets, digital projects, etc.
4. It's hard to predict the future, so don't shortchange doing things that are interesting/valuable today.

California dreamin’ — of the future of AI. The 2025 Carnegie California AI Survey is out. While Californians believe that AI will impact their work, communities, and democracy, they are uncertain of specific impacts, such as safety and cybersecurity.

Interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research - what's the difference?

Should #research funders care? Is there an ideal type?

With #doge cuts hitting the U.S., could an unintended consequence be disciplinary boundaries?
#Government funds for interdisciplinary research tend to break boundaries that persist in #academia - I write about potential effects to look out for here 👇https://t.co/RPvmfIY8Nk

Happy to be at #ISA2025 presenting on aid as foreign policy and the future of humanitarian assistance. The buzz in the room convening academics for important debate on these issues right now is palpable. One area of consensus? More evidence gathering from #academics is critical
