I’m excited to share my job market paper for the 2025-2026 market!

In a real-effort experiment, participants working solely for money completed 23% more tasks than those offered the same monetary reward plus a charitable incentive (p < 0.02) 🤯

Police have been searching River Hill High School since receiving a phone call threat of a student with a gun and bomb just before 2 p.m. There is no evidence of actual danger at this time. Detectives are investigating source of the call. Some students now leaving the school.

I am unable to work. A shooting threat at my old high school is rattling my afternoon. I am only hoping at this moment that it is not real

Very happy to say that I've been awarded an NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant jointly with Paul Cheung, on our work currently entitled "Non-isolation and Social Preference".

It is my (our) first ever research grant! 😄

@BostonStrong_34 Hard luck and small sample. XBA is .100 higher than is actual batting average. Let him regress back to his mean

@LunusOfGayTakes @Frederi63006317 @GovLarryHogan Actually, this is not incompetent, but it may be taken out of context. More research does need to be done to ensure standards are met for full auth.
However, the known benefits of the vaccine outweigh the potential risks. That's what emergency-use auth means.

@StachuDotNet I was very emotional the first time I put contacts in. It was an amazing experience

The fact that Matlab treats "" and '' as different objects with different properties is the source of much frustration.

@graykimbrough As a competitive Rubik's Cube solver and 2nd year econ graduate student, I'm pleasantly surprised to see these worlds colliding.

For my last day of being on campus for the semester, I almost got run over by a scooter.

Hoorah.

[Keaton Ellis @khkellis]

The heating has officially been turned off in the Economics Building on campus. Since I forgot my space heater at home today, I will now run a copious amount of code for the day to make sure my computer can at least keep me warm.
