LinkedIn data can be used to measure the racial, ethnic, and gender mix of companies' workforces, and differences in mass layoffs and promotions, from Alexander Berry, Elizabeth M. Maloney, and @NeumarkEcon https://t.co/ynan5PSZCR
We find that feedback is harder to come by when software engineers are not sitting near their coworkers in the office.
So cool to see this work with @NataliaHEmanuel and Mandy Pallais covered by @emmabgo and @bencasselman https://t.co/JpPb1Sd10R

Dear paper writers, consider using \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦[𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗿𝗲𝗳=𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲]{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} instead of simply \𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦{𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘧} to make it easier for a reader to jump to the references and back.

New episode for #MayThe4thBeWithYou. We dive into the economics of Star Wars with @emmaloney314@adparret. Taxation of trade routes in outlying systems? How to hide the Death Star's money trail? Will credits do fine? We got it all

@economeager The GRE is also a critical signal for students coming from less prestigious schools in the US. GRE prep and testing is much less costly than Ivy League tuition.
@_alice_evans@jenniferdoleac It’s definitely possible! The directionality of the relationship isn’t obvious to me, though. Does existing misogyny push young women out or does a lack of young women breed misogyny?
