The Liberal Party of Canada will have to dedicate a big beautiful monument to Donald J. Trump. Because how is this kind of comeback even possible?

He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.

One underrated aspect of in-person AEA interviews: getting into 'the zone'—JMPs on the plane, intense focus for interviews, 3 days of econ discussion with colleagues across fields. I know it’s better for inclusivity and the environment, but... I miss it. #EconSky

Childbirth has large negative effects on women’s founding rates and firm performance and explain the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial outcomes never recover to pre-birth levels. Childcare availability and progressive gender norms reduce the adverse effects of childbirth.

Econjobmarket does this to some extent, but does not provide emails. The process of going through each link and find emails is still (for me) hard to automatize. The initial question stands! econjobmarket.org/placementOff...

Has anyone put together a comprehensive list of placement officers across Econ Departments, with emails? Maybe using AI? ChatGPT didn’t help much. Would be a great public good #EconSky

Male high school graduates are doing pretty badly in the US. Yet women graduate from college at increasingly higher rates and many young men think college is useless. A puzzle? #EconSky do your thing.
