hi #econsky people!
if you are still on the job market -- very rough times indeed -- consider applying here: www.linkedin.com/posts/statec... #econjmp
I had very nice time there, I found friends and stellar quality of life!
Creating so more ways to illustrate the causal relationship between alcohol sales and marijuana dispensary entry and proximity in my #EconJMP. 1,000 draws of representative but random selection of retailers and entry timing. Thoughts?
Happy to announce my #EconJMP got accepted at the @meagrinnell.bsky.social annual meeting in Chicago, IL this March. Looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces and getting some feedback my work. If anyone else is going to be there, DM so we can get a coffee and talk shop.
Updated version of my #EconJMP w/ add'l robustness checks overall polishing and transition of story. Full version can be found on my website: www.tomwilk.com/jmp
Special thanks to #JoshuaHess & #ZeinaAlSalman for their insightful comments in early drafts and of course my coauthor #TimothyHodge
My #EconJMP, โThe Labor Market Returns to Customized Job Trainingโ, examines how subsidized firm training that aligns skill supply with skill demand affects workers and whether subsidies generate benefits that justify public investment.

Primary event study from Bressler and Cui (2025). The effect of the "701" Planning Assistance Program is a 13% reduction in new housing supply per decade .
Why are many U.S. cities building less? Why have they insisted on a "thicket" of regulations that make housing hard to build?
In a new #EconJMP with Beau Bressler (beaubressler.github.io), we study how much of the answer lies with a forgotten federal program that taught cities to restrict growth

๐ Iโm excited to share that Iโm on the #EconSky job market this year! In my #EconJMP, I study how teachers in Finnish upper secondary schools impact studentsโ socio-emotional skills โ and the labor market returns of these effects! (๐งต, 1/N)
From Prohibition to Choice: The Impact of Abortion Legalization on Fertility and Child Investments in Nepal In societies with son-preference, the transition from high fertility to low fertility is often accompanied by a skewed sex ratio at birth. How expanding reproductive autonomy in such societies changes fertility and early-life investments in children remains unclear. We study this question in the context of Nepal by evaluating the impact of the 2002 abortion legalization. Using a triple-difference design comparing girls and boys across firstborn-sex families before and after the reform, we find that the abortion legalization substantially reduced son-biased fertility stopping: the gap in the number of children between firstborn-girl and firstborn-boy families fell by nearly three-fifths, while the probability that a girl is missing due to sex-selective abortion rose by 1.8 percentage points. A back-of-the-envelope calculation implies that roughly 1 in 75 girls is missing from post-reform birth cohorts. On investments, daughters in firstborn-girl families gained about two months of breastfeeding, closing most of the pre-existing deficit. Taken together, the policy response to abortion legalization in a son-preferring society indicates a quantity-quality trade-off: lower cost of achieving desired family size and sex mix can lead to intensified prenatal selection against girls and increased early-life investments in those who are born.
I am excited to be on the #EconSky job market. My #EconJMP on Nepal's 2002 abortion legalization finds weaker son-biased stopping, more prenatal sex selection (~1 in 75 girls missing), and longer breastfeeding for surviving girls, a clear quantity quality tradeoff.
