We have highly rigorous and peer-reviewed research on the economic consequences to expect.

@ChloeNEast and her co-authors estimate that mass deportation during the Obama Administration eliminated 8.8 US jobs per 100 deportations. Permanently.

4 year plan: Refuse to engage in speculation. Make tons of art. Make friends. Be a good friend and a good neighbor. Focus on what is good and decent in this world, so it can grow.

A California ballot without a proposition about staffing levels at dialysis clinics is like a Thanksgiving dinner without turkey: sure, nobody actually likes turkey; but the ritual just feels wrong without it.

Why is SNAP important? In a new @HamiltonProj piece, my co-authors and I show that SNAP not only helps households meet one of their basic needs (nutrition), but also helps families weather financial shocks:

"public library capital investment increases library visits, children's attendance at events, and children's circulation by an average of 5–15% in years following investment. Increases in library use translate into improved test scores in nearby districts" https://t.co/wgRuYTgWWI

A trio of new reports out today from @hamiltonproj at @BrookingsInst shows stunning gaps in the US safety net for non-elderly adults (age 18-64) who aren’t raising children and don’t meet the stringent criteria for federal disability benefits. 🧵

Nearly three years later and I am excited to share that I will be starting my PhD this fall in Agricultural and Resource Economics at @UCBerkeley @AreBerkeley! I could not have done it without my incredibly kind advisors @hagertynw, @K_A_Eriksson, and Katrina Jessoe.

Interesting new @nberpubs working paper!

@monicajdeza, @JCMecon and coauthors use Tennessee data to show that when the state disenrolled Medicaid recipients, they were more likely to commit crime.

More evidence of the importance of health care coverage.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices.

However, 2023 economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

Goldin was awarded the prize for advancing our understanding of women’s role in the labour market. She has given us a deeper understanding of the factors that affect women’s opportunities in the labour market.
