The drug war started in 2007, following the election of Felipe Calderón, when his National Action Party cracked down on cartels. Migration from drug violence spiked in areas where PAN candidates won elections by small margins vs. where they lost by small margins. #ASSA2024 https://buff.ly/3Dr0xYg
Among U.S.-born residents of counties receiving migrants, employment rates increased and unemployment rates decreased.
U.S.-born residents without a bachelor’s degree saw the biggest gains. #ASSA2024

Undocumented migrants can use them as ID to apply for driver’s licenses in many U.S. states, for banking and other purposes. With data from all Matricula ID cards issued from 2004-2019, the researchers linked migrants from Mexican municipios to U.S. counties. #ASSA2024 (2/2)

Immigrants, especially those without documentation, are difficult to track. The research team overcame the challenge with data from the Matricula Consular program. The Mexican government issues the Matricula ID card to its citizens in the U.S. #ASSA2024 (1/2)
As folks are planning for the #ASSA2024 meetings, if you have questions or want to learn about the best way to conduct reproducible research and (later) prepare replication packages, come to our two sessions, joint w/ Marie Connolly @CanJEcon , co-sponsored w/ @ecmaeditors.bsky.social
If you missed us at #ASSA2024, come talk to us at mea.sites.grinnell.edu Chicago March 23 at 10AM (preliminary; short talk). Happy to talk to folks in breaks (Coffee with Data Editors). We'll again have Marie Connolly (CJE Data Editor), and Sofia who is part of the AEA Team!
Excellent coverage from @soumayakeynes.bsky.social, reporting from #assa2024.
Have to admit I was a little nervous to fly Alaska Airlines’ brand new 737 Max 9 to #ASSA2024 last week, but I figured it had to be the most vetted and tested plane out there. Ha ha, silly me. Anyway, Southwest got me home a day late and a couple hundred dollars short . Whew!
What a great #ASSA2024! I'm already missing the thrill of potentially falling into the San Antonio River
San Antonio is treating well macroeconomists at the #ASSA2024 : Patinkin playing at the Tobin center!
Pour une économie démocratique.
Le congrès annuel où se retrouvent des économistes de toute obédience et du monde entier s'est tenu à San Antonio, du 5 au 7 janvier.
L'occasion de présenter mes travaux au sein de l'AFEE, association d'économistes institutionnalistes.

I really enjoyed #ASSA2024 in San Antonio! It was a surreal experience seeing a city being filled with thousands of economists. With learning about cutting-edge research, meeting many new people, and getting valuable comments, I look back at a great weekend 🌟
Thread zur #ASSA2024 Session zu "The Economic and Political Ramifications of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine" von heute morgen mit @ygorodnichenko.bsky.social (Chair) (sprach ueber die Ukraine), Sergei Guriev (zu Russland und Sanktionen), Scott Gehlbach (politische Situation in den USA) und mir.
@econzach.bsky.social doing a great job presenting our paper on historical international mobility for women and men, using the Census Tree data. #ASSA2024
Only research this good from people I like so much (eg CSEWP Cement buddy Maria Recalde & Catherine Eckel) could get me to an 8am session after a long night out last night. Totally worth waking up for! #assa2024
If you're an econ of education person in San Antonio for #ASSA2024 and want to meet up for dinner or drinks tonight, let me know. Happy to gather a few folks for good conversation (you can even be econ of education-adjacent).
#EconSky Andrew Chen: @achenfinance
#ASSA2024 / #AFA2024, I'll be talking about the most shocking research that I've worked on. It makes me wonder if everything I've been taught about asset prices is wrong. Theis Jensen (discussant) +@SBryzgalova.
