That feelin when you pass your Econ QUALIFYING EXAMS🎉
1st year was hard & uncomfortable, but I’m so grateful for everyone who has picked me up when I couldn’t do it on my own. Economics is a white man’s world & as a first gen Latina, I’m slowly creating more space for me in it😊

My fourth album, The Great Divide, is yours to listen to. It is hard to even begin to describe what these last few years making this album has felt like. The collision of fear and pressure and joy and luck and total love has left me wordless, and if you know me personally, I hardly ever shut my mouth. I spent many months walking forward in complete darkness, hands out in front of me, desperate to touch something familiar that would show me I was near the light switch again. As lonely as it felt, and as unfamiliar as the world seemed in those moments, I was never really alone. I don’t think any of us ever truly are. I was guided through the wilderness by calm voices, by the stillness of my home state, by the total commitment of my band, producers, and team, by the steady and loving touch of my wife and family, and of course, by the constant and enduring encouragement of you all, who I am so lucky to have as fans. I am very proud of what we are doing together and I hope we can live this dream for a long long time

I have spent my career running field experiments. With my new book coming out I have decided to run a few on all of you! Here is the first one!
I am giving away a bundle: 1 signed copy of my new book Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice + 1 free t-shirt of the book. But, there is a Dictator Game twist.
In the comments please tag a friend. Before you know if you win, tell me your allocation: keep both, give one, or give it all away. If you are randomly selected, I'm holding you to what you said. Your choice is already public, and your friend can see it right now. Your chances of winning do not depend on your allocation.
I will randomly select a winner this Saturday at midnight EST and report back.
Extra credit giveaway: if the random person chosen also retweeted this message, then I will also send a signed copy of The Voltage Effect to both them and their partner. And, yes, your partner can sign up too to double your chances!
Good luck!

@JHB_econ Jessica, my dad only went to school until the age of 6… neither of my parents helped me with math. I am truly envious of this and every single comment on this. And yet, my goal is to hopefully raise kids on the right tail of that distribution 🤭
