This is something I need longer to digest. In any case, this result seems particular to this scenario where jobs were already receiving a high # of applicants.
Were there articles other people found interesting?

Reading the new NBER working papers for this week. There were 4 papers that caught my eye: 1st on COVID unemployment benefits, 2nd on the effect of having immigrant students in schools, 3rd on racial human capital disparities, & 4th on Chinese New Year and elderly suicide.

If you’re a student and want a DD seminar on @agoodmanbacon and then @pedrohcgs and callaway, shoot me an email. First come first served up to some N tbd. I’ll then do a Google form. It’ll include directions on R code as well as easy simulations. I’m also good at intuition.

Franzoni & Stephan ask what risk-taking in science looks like, focusing on what can be found, if the method will work, the chance the outcome will be found, possible secondary findings, & its significance. As they argue, continuing a line of research doesn't imply risk avoidance

Migrants traveling through cartel territory in Mexico pay to secure a wristband that guarantees their safety. It removes one type of risk of migration, at a cost. Who will provide cheaper wristbands and how many will one need? Hope it's not a trend
