Devastating news at IZA yesterday. More than 25 years of hard work, earned reputation, and valuable institutional knowledge and public good provision wiped out with a single stroke. It’s hard to find the words.
👋 Hello BlueSky! 👋
Together with @yaleegc.bsky.social, we're launching our accounts today.
We’ll be posting new research, events, job opportunities, faculty profiles, news, updates from our academic programs, and more.
A new paper studying the intergenerational mobility of second-generation immigrants, using administrative data from 15 countries 🌐 🚀
1/ 🚨 New paper! 🚨
How do the economic trajectories of children of immigrants vary across 15 high-income countries? We study intergenerational mobility of immigrants, using individual-level linked parent-child data across Europe, North America, and beyond. 🧵👇 #EconSky
Starter pack on the Economics of Migration reloaded!
Now also including, among others, @sardoschau.bsky.social, @ffasani.bsky.social , @sschneiderstraw.bsky.social, @jarellanobover.com, @jdportes.bsky.social and @mitalimathur.bsky.social.
New results from "The Nation's Report Card" just dropped and they are pretty bad. I got a sneak peek as a member of IES’s Standing Committee, so I had an extra day or so to ruminate about them. A few thoughts 👇

We have a new update on our paper
"One Cohort at a Time: A New Perspective on the Declining Gender Pay Gap"

I'm honored to be elected to the editorial board of my favorite academic journal, the Journal of Economic Perspectives.
And excited to work with so many people I deeply admire at @aeajournals.bsky.social —>

We find that extracurricular activities such as study abroad or internships do boost callbacks. Heterogeneity analyses suggests because of non-cognitive social skills. Listing computer skills only helps if they are advanced.
5/6
Estimating returns to minors has been elusive (minors are not recorded in commonly used datasets). We find that, relative to having no minor, Math and History minors have precise **zero** callback returns.
4/6
Causal callback returns to majors. Even among the business-related jobs we targeted, Biology has the greatest callback rate, with Economics close second (omitted major is Philosophy).
3/6
Audit study: 36,880 résumés, seniors from 12 large public flagship US universities, sent to 9,220 job ads in business-related jobs. We randomized 8 majors, minors, and extracurriculars (study abroad, internships, computer skills).
2/6
Unbundling college: Causal returns to US college majors, minors, and extracurriculars.
An audit study of seniors' first-job search, with Carolina Bussotti, John Nunley, and @alanseals.bsky.social.
We find: majors matter, zero returns to minors, positive returns to extracurriculars.

My Christmas post in Silicon Continent is about economics lessons from The Wire- with implications for green washing and AI benchmarks- as well as a bit of career advice for young readers. I hope you enjoy it!

Great success!

Maybe one could compute this in the Texas admin data. A few people at Yale work on community colleges using those data.
Happening in Bari next week!
Raffaele Lagravinese, @barbarabiasi.com and I have organized this workshop hoping to bring together Apulian economists around the world (there are a ton!) and researchers at University of Bari (our kind hosts).
Hopefully the first of many to come.

We should check after job market season is over
