Hello everyone!! I am currently on the academic job market and will be presenting my job market paper in the Virtual Crime Economics (ViCE) seminar. Check out this post for more info.

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

The next ViCE seminar is this Thursday, October 1, at 1pm ET.

Paulo Matos will present: "We Have Your Back? Discretion in Police Discipline and Peer Effects on Officer Misconduct"

And I am here teaching a course on the political economy of development. I guess I can skip the slides on “why we need to bring in politics to understand development”

[Beatrice Cherrier @Undercoverhist]

Just sent this to a student, but I'd like every econ student to have it, so:

-Letter from Nancy Hyde, econ student prepping for finals, to Paul Samuelson, about his textbook. 1970

-His response (which I already tweeted years ago)

We are very excited to be organizing this conference @Caltech. We are especially looking for social science research on the implications of #AI and #genAI for politics, economies, and society. Please apply - or DM if you have questions. Hosted by @CaltechCsspp!

I’m excited to share American Stories, a new billion-scale dataset of structured texts/layouts from public domain newspapers (1780-1960) that we’ve built using our deep learning packages. #EconTwitter (1/13)

The 2023 revision of my book "Lectures Notes in Microeconomic Theory" is now available for FREE downloading at my homepage (see the first comment). Instructors (only) can ask for a manual solution. The highlight: new review problems (overall 66).

Hay que ser bien ignorante para andar terruqueando en un país como el Perú. Hay miles de testimonios de gente inocente que fue violada, torturada, o asesinada sin ser probadamente terrorista. Es altamente ofensivo para las víctimas y para los reales héroes de nuestras FF.AA.

[Claudio Ferraz @claudferraz]

Peru is going through a situation much worse than Brazil 2013. More violence and without the institutions to solve the conflict. In Brazil democracy has not been the same ever since. I really worry that Peru might be in the same track

How do I know so much about how @elonmusk does things? I spent 3 years investigating Tesla at @BusinessInsider from 2018-2021. Here are some of sloppy, dangerous, callous, things I learned:

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

"What's happening with Elon Musk is a wonderful microcosm to show you how quickly people will abandon what they say is a principle when things aren't going their way." @TrevorNoah #BetweenTheScenes

Oh you don’t want to pay $8 for verification? Well I didn’t want to pay $44,000,000,000 for this fucking website but here we are

[Jennifer Doleac @jenniferdoleac]

There is a ton of stuff happening behind the scenes right now - I'm so grateful to everyone involved!

Ladies in econ, we have momentum. If you have info, please share it. I have a list of journalists who'd love to hear from you. Email/DM me for their contact info.

[Cesi Cruz @cesicruz]

Been blissfully oblivious all day but I just saw all the #EconTwitter #MeToo discussion and it’s heartbreaking. We deserve better from our institutions and our colleagues.

Sending strength and solidarity ❤️

[Paul Novosad @paulnovosad]

Wow, quite the story. 👇🏻👇🏻

Founding Arxiv is apparently not good for your academic career.

Good evidence that improving how science works is insufficiently incentivized.

[Elliot Lipnowski @ElliotLip]

Holy shit, this is great. A search engine for theorems and counterexamples in topology.
