I'm still looking for about 15-16 PhD students or postdocs in econ or related fields at universities based in LMICs who would like feedback on a JMP (or advanced paper)! Have an excess of mentors, which is awesome. Sign up here! Spread the word!

@saskatchewin Oh I do!! Does it make sense to drop out at mile 22 at trials then come back to run 2:19 in Tokyo?!

UMD Econ is recruiting for a new pre doc. Come spend one year gaining research experience with faculty mentors + taking classes, and stay for the PhD! This NSF-funded program is intended to increase diversity in econ and builds on our undergrad pipeline program. Apps due 3/22.

This is a situation we can help with at Montana State! Send us your students who could use a little more exposure to rigorous econ and math before applying to PhDs. Most students in our Applied Econ master's program are fully funded.

🚨🚨🚨Funding for researchers in developing countries
Are you a researcher or PhD student based in a developing country? Are you working on sustainable growth? Specifically on one of these topics: Firms, trade & productivity; State effectiveness, Cities, Energy & environment.

[A. Patrick Behrer @abehrer]

PhD students! You need a website! Your department website isn’t good enough. And LinkedIn is a nightmare.

Even if you’re not on the market yet, create a simple website so I can find you when I Google your name trying to offer you a job.

Motivated by a @MarshallBBurke question & @jhaushofer request, I've written up 7 ways you can improve power in an experiment without increasing the sample size n (number 4 may surprise you by saying you might want to reduce n) https://t.co/IfREOJy0nj 1/3

Using worker compensation claims from California @rjisungpark @norapankr and I show that counting only "heat" coded injuries underestimates the injury burden of heat by as much as a factor of 6.
