@arindube How do you reconcile the change from 1940 to 1950 with the findings of Goldin & Margo (1992)? If I'm reading their results correctly, they find a much larger decline in the 50/10 ratio and a smaller decline in the 90/50 ratio.

[Eirik Berger Abel @eirikberger]

@VincentGeloso @microsamonomics @EvelyneBrie That is the one. We'll have a working paper ready in a few months. I'll make sure to send it to you!

NY KRONIKK! Sammen med Laura Khoury @KhouryLaura1 og Manudeep Bhuller finner jeg at den mentale helsen til innsatte er mye bedre etter at de slipper ut, enn før de fikk fengselsdommen. Også partnere har bedre mental helse i årene etter løslatelse

Every now & then I come across a beautiful paper that makes me answer the question "Is this economics?" with an emphatic YES.

The debutante season was disrupted in 1861-63 by Queen Victoria's mourning. This led to less assortative matching & reduced aristocratic power.

@OleDysk Tenker å spille inn Sub-Riemannian model spaces som nytt satsningsområde for FAIR!

Is this patient having a heart attack?

After 10+ years in the ER, it’s still an agonizing question for me

I turned the angst into a long paper with @m_sendhil in @QJEHarvard—https://t.co/oFYY9FTaba

Tl;dr—machine learning can have *huge* benefit, and help fix docs' errors

Add that to the research on how much test scores are affected by air conditioning on hot days, and it is pretty clear that good HVAC systems will often pay for themselves in schools, offices, and anywhere else thinking matters. https://t.co/dnKulZn22v

“They want equal opportunities for everyone else’s children, extra for their own” Young (1958) wrote in his seminal work on meritocracy. My JMP “Unleveling the playing field? Experimental evidence on parents’ willingness to give their children an advantage”, puts it to the test!

Congratulations Guido Imbens on winning the Nobel Prize in Economics! An extremely well-deserved win (with David Card and Josh Angrist) for causal inference which has changed the direction of the entire field of economics and almost all of its subfields. Go @Stanford Econ!
