Where you live had a lot to do with which COVID-19 vaccine you got.

In over 14 million Medicare beneficiaries, we found really large rural-urban variation in who received Pfizer vs Moderna - out today in @Health_Affairs.

This is terrible and ALL econ depts should be thinking about ways to support their students’ mental health and well-being

The prevalence of mental health issues is not just students w/mental health issues selecting into econ (hear this take often)

It doesn’t have to be this way
