Looking for an excuse to procrastinate? Why not check out my #JMP!

I show that people avoid information about the consequences of their actions as an excuse to make impatient decisions -- read more at https://t.co/oIaV0cyg1P or https://t.co/8Ize4vV4U5

How do we uncover what politicians focus on in their campaigns? 🤔 For my job market paper, I addressed this by analyzing 13K+ 🇧🇷 mayoral manifestos. Using ML models (NB, SVC, RF, LSTM) and GPT-4, I classified topics such as health and education. Github: https://t.co/w7KPRJCJ6p

@Lina_loz studies labor market disparities using lab and online experiments. Lina's JMP shows how gender differences in workers' attribution of credit for their team's success/failure contribute to hiring disparities, particularly when gender is unknown. https://t.co/J8CtQVYXxl

Pooling information can be difficult, but that doesn’t need to be the case here: I can tell you with certainty that priyoma is an incredible researcher and colleague!

If you don’t trust my expertise, see for yourself and check out her JMPs/other work

On the #EconJobMarket !
🚨 JMP Alert 🚨

Individuals fail to incorporate information held by their spouses. Is it because they are generally reluctant to learn from their spouse?

In my #JMP, I show: NO! Because communication is challenging in the absence of expertise.

In all of the debates on inflation, I’ve noticed that commentators have overlooked this fantastic 2001 AER paper on preferences over inflation and unemployment.

“the well-being cost of a 1-percentage-point increase in the unemployment rate equals the loss brought about by an extra 1.66 percentage points of inflation.”

Some student should try to update this analysis and see if this trade-off is currently in the same ballpark.

What about the economy under Trump? I don’t expect great news for workers, and I see big risks from Trump’s overall agenda, both because of his approach to AI and Silicon Valley, and because of his (likely) impact on US institutions.

Job market candidates: a quick thread on how the econ market works, incl. at business schools. 1) It is not unusual to get many 100s of applications. Nobody reads them all first-pass. Most places take a quick glance at letter/cv/intro, and keep the top x%.

Thanks to @pauljhealy for a magnificent @EcScienceAssoc meeting this weekend. Pittsburgh was well represented. So very grateful for our community @BEDI_EconDesign @PittEcon @CBDR_CMU

Next week is our inaugural Chicago School in Experimental Economics!

My team and I are beyond thrilled to host our brilliant participants. We will spend the week diving into my forthcoming book Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice where I cover everything from pre-experimental tasks to writing up experiments....and everything in between.

Congratulations to our participants! We can’t wait to discuss science with you next week.

In the spirit of the olden days of #EconTwitter, I thought I’d write down some notes on finishing up my first year on the tenure track (in a liberal arts setting) in economics. These will be in no particular order and kind of stream of conscious. Let’s have a convo about it! 1/N

[Marissa Lepper @marissalepper]

@JoseMoralesA @EGobiernoyTP @TecdeMonterrey @BushSchool @TAMU You’ll be missed!!

[Marissa Lepper @marissalepper]

@eckelcc It was definitely a good reminder that institutional knowledge needs to be taught instead of taken for granted!

[Marissa Lepper @marissalepper]

I had to clarify to one of my students today that I’m not just their professor’s assistant, despite what my job title may imply.

Still don’t know where they thought their “real professor” was all semester.
