Glad to see folks here talking about the recent surge in entrepreneurship. While much is still unknown, we already have a lot of color on this striking development. Short thread of joint work w/ @jchaltiwangerum.bsky.social

🚨 New paper for #EconSky 🚨 Do you rethink your entire consumption-saving strategy every time your income fluctuates? Or do you prefer … Quick-Fixing: Near-Rationality in Consumption Savings Behavior, w/ Joel Flynn, George Nikalakoudis, and Karthik Sastry papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... 🧵 below.

#econsky #econjmp #econ #jmp I am on the #econjobmarket this year! My JMP focuses specifically on second-generation migrant girls. How does education policy impact them as they grow up in a highly egalitarian society, yet within families that have migrated from more gender-traditional origins? 🧵👇
