The scribblings of a mad man or first year econ phd student formula card?

The Illinois Central Railroad carried Black Southerners from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago during the Great Migration. A century later, the SCI shows those same Delta counties remain some of Chicago’s most over-connected distant communities today.

I started a podcast with a bud from my PhD cohort! Each episode one of us tries to convince the other that something is *technically economics*

First episode is on #LoveIslandUSA and out now on all of the platforms! https://t.co/aPAvyglXas

Economic valuations fluctuate in ways empirical research cannot fully explain

What information are we missing? Economic theories emphasize the role of hard-to-quantify beliefs and perceptions

My job market paper develops algorithms + measurement to quantify perceptions of firms

[Sahil Chinoy @sahilchinoy]

i'm on the job market with a paper about political sorting in the labor market! it's perhaps harder to choose your coworkers than your friends or who you follow on twitter -- could the workplace be less segregated than other places where democrats and republicans tend not to mix?

Hey everyone! I'm looking to hire a pre-doc @HarvardHBS to work with me on projects at the intersection of finance and political economy. Looking for talented people with a strong background in computer science, math, economics, and/or some related field. @econ_ra #EconTwitter

I honestly can’t believe it. We deserve this.

Been way too long.

Man, I can’t wait for that home playoff game.

Three graphs on why rising costs create disproportionate inflation for low-income households

(many thanks @BaldwinRE and @voxeu for covering!)

[Santa Ono @SantaJOno]

Countless members of the University of Michigan family have reached out to me over the weekend and I wanted to express my appreciation. Like any community, we face our share of challenges and adversity. There have been many such moments in our history. But as our team showed so clearly yesterday, we will respond to any challenge head on with a conviction to do better and to emerge even stronger. Go Blue! 〽️

@sahilchinoy Inspired by recent interactions with the grid?

[Dominic Russel @DomRussel]

@datavizuals But most pools pay a lot for 1st and nothing below, right? My sense is that this changes the optimal strategy a lot.

If others are going to pick close to chalk, might be optimal to enter many brackets and pick some uncorrelated craziness in each?

[Eric Gilliam @eric_is_weird]

It’s interesting. In books like Idea Factory as they talk about Bell Labs and mid-1900s engineering innovation, Midwesterners are everywhere

The authors of all these books note it constantly. It was a talent powerhouse. But they don’t really talk about this at all in the Midwest

[Dominic Russel @DomRussel]

Super cool new paper by my (brilliant) friend @jdikatz.

People reacted much differently to liquidity from the CARES Act student loan pause vs direct stimulus. This changes how we should think about, for example, the effects of the pause on inflation

My list of winter-break readings on migration, PE, culture, history, and related (recent only):

1. @michaelcbailey, @drew_m_johnston, Koenen, Kuchler, Russel and @stroebel_econ on https://t.co/06oeeiGFpd. I may be biased, but the topic, new data, novel findings, all superb

@jun_wong97 Golden handcuffs though man. Now you can never go back

I feel so lucky to have my grad school cohort also be a wonderful community of friends. Excited for year 2

Petition to stop saying "priors" and start saying "vibes"

@SantaJOno An incredible teacher too! Her class was one of my favorites as an undergrad
