I had such a wonderful time at the Sadie Collective conference- seeing the energy, passion, brilliance of so many young and aspiring economists at an event planned/founded by brilliant Black women economists (including the amazing @itsafronomics.blacksky.app) was the highlight of my year to date

Glad to see this is out in @nber.org WP series and since my excellent co-author @chinemeluokafor.bsky.social and I have been discussing the results for the past few weeks, here's an old-fashioned paper thread on why protests matter/can work to influence economic redistribution 1/n

This was a fun and very informative event, at least for me. You can watch it in its entirety here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G-F...

My presentation starts at around minute 13.

Thanks again to the organizers for the kind invitation!

Who pays for tariffs? It’s a simple question that’s surprisingly tough to answer. We often see only a rough aggregate measure of prices at the border or the retail price, missing many steps in the chain.

We tackle this in a new paper w Aaron Flaaen, Ali Hortacsu, Felix Tintelnot and Daniel Xu

In 1921 Thomas Edison created an employment test that absolutely captivated America - 146 questions that he asked potential hires. Einstein famously failed it.

I used AI to turn it into an annotated multiple choice test. Try it (though it is very 1921): prismatic-dolphin-ba5e42.netlify.app

Attention IO job market candidates:

Sometimes speakers in the CMA's external economics seminar series have to cancel at relatively short notice. We would love for these slots to go to JMCs to present their job market paper.

Drop me a message if you are interested or share with those who might be.

Thrilled to see our decade-long research agenda with Teresa Fort and Felix Tintelnot on firm-level approaches to global value chains featured in the latest NBER Reporter. What a ride!

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving."

Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

After a decade of our family's involvement with Cambridge's public school system, the district is starting to take seriously the task of providing challenge to students who have mastered grade-level curricula.

I wish this had happened earlier but kudos to those who've helped make this shift happen!
