ISR researcher @jeremylevine.bsky.social studies why victim compensation laws often fail survivors.
His new project evaluates a New York policy change removing the police report requirement to see if it improves access for victims and informs reforms nationwide.
Delighted to work for and with such a completely badass group of women.
Like Professor West, quoted in this article: “I am zero surprised by any of this.”

Me, 20 minutes into moguls, something I have never seen: Those knees pressed tight together are gonna earn a big score.
Really excited to present work on tax base fragmentation at @umisr.bsky.social tomorrow! Come check it out!
Excited to share the findings from Therese Christensen's and my article! In a nutshell: living in Denmark doesn't prevent you from experiencing a motherhood earnings penalty, but it does give you access to government benefits that help offset those financial losses.
They're not on Bsky, but we can still shout out the phenomenal Nicole Bonomini and Melissa Bora!
I'm so grateful to the Stone Foundation for their continued support of @umichstonecid.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to the next 5 years!

Xiang is notable for his combination of methodological brilliance and generosity in answering methods questions from his colleagues as well as students.
I’m hiring a postdoc! Flexible in terms of details, but I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on research about labor market inequality. I’ll review applications as they come in and the posting just went up here:

Thanks for your causal inference readings suggestions! Next Q: what's a paper that (mostly) convinced you of causal relationships *without* an exogenous shock? My students seek examples of good work when using an IV or RD or something isn't an option. (Again, I appreciate RTs to crowd source.)
I have been a deputy editor for 2 weeks and:
(1) Wow, I have even more sympathy for the challenges editors face getting reviewers. Thank you for your service!
(2) Maybe I'm saying yes to too many reviews???

Me: I was reading this article about how the holidays can be really stressful for pets with the commotion and strangers in the house.
Introvert spouse, softly: Not... just... pets.
The McLanahan Award is given in honor of Sara McLanahan, a remarkable scholar, mentor, and policy advisor. The award goes to a senior scholar for extraordinary contributions to the study of family change, the well-being of children and families, and related social policies.
"And he is among a vast group of powerful men who have faced seemingly career-threatening scandals over comments or actions related to their treatment of women, and yet have maintained a place in public life."

Summers apologizes here for communicating with Epstein, but not for the content of his messages. Not good enough.
I wish this didn't need to be said but: when discussing people who commit sexual harassment and abuse, don't name the victims/survivors unless they've chosen to come forward publicly. Their right to privacy matters.
