#EconConf

Great first day at @appam.bsky.social. One point of clarity. Research consistently concludes no short-run impact of the CTC expansion on employment. Please, please, please stop making me/others recite the literature and just update your priors. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi #EconSky, Not sure if the Starter Pack party's over, but I've made an Econ Starter Pack of Starter Packs! 😄 It's a work in progress, so I may have missed some. Let me know if there's anything to add—DMs are open! Thanks for support @economista.bsky.social! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I created a starter pack focused on the economics of taxation. I'm unsure if I can grant editing access, but please feel free to suggest any additions! go.bsky.app/QmnUAzv

At today's #2024APPAM Rossi Award Lecture, I’ll argue the substantial impact of open-science practices has been far too narrow. It’s time to adapt & adopt open-science practices—especially preregistration—for quasi-experimental designs (QEDs). #EconSky #EduSky #APPAM2024 @appam.bsky.social 🧵…

In today's #econjmp, Sam Marshall of Warwick uses a structural approach to estimate labor monopsony in Tanzania, showing how self-employment and migration costs affect labor market power. He finds most workers are paid between 66-71% of marginal product. blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

At APPAM today? See @paolaguerreror.bsky.social in action! Count Me in? Identifying Factors That Predict Centers’ Application to Boston’s Mixed-Delivery Universal Pre-K Program 1:45-3:15pm, National Harbor 6, 2nd Floor Ballroom Level, Gaylord National Harbor

1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities. 🧵 sites.google.com/view/nicolas...

I'm on the job market! My #EconJMP examines climate adaptation inequality in labor markets (see ⬇️). This is part of my research on the effects of climate change/plastic pollution on workers & society - often with unique data & an interdisciplinary lens. Learn more: https://pappanna.github.io/

Dual enrollment continues to rise. Check out these numbers from @ppicnotes.bsky.social in California: www.ppic.org/publication/... And here's a cool stat: In the California class of 2023, high school students earned 2,438 college credentials, including 1,512 associate degrees.

Interesting coverage of student-led efforts to end legacy preferences and make college admissions about merit and fairness. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

I started a starter pack for World Bank researchers. Let me know if I am missing you go.bsky.app/BWMsQG6

Three new reports on California’s midwifery workforce have been posted! Tons of data on demographics, patient pop, job satisfaction, work environment, contributions to health equity. A PUF for your use will come soon! #midwifery #birth #healthequity www.chcf.org/publication/...

I'm putting together a starter pack of people and publications that cover AI in education who have accounts on this platform. If you'd like to be on it, just let me know in a reply or at [email protected] go.bsky.app/SYuRWxV

I've created a #healtheconomics starter pack! There's a few other great packs out there but in this one I've tried to make it more international! 🌎 Let me know if you'd like to be added or if you have recommendations. And feel free to share! go.bsky.app/8Lj8FLB

One reason why so few 8th graders in the poorest schools are ready to take algebra: too much class time spent reviewing old stuff and disciplining students. Two more reasons in my story: hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

How should schools address chronic absenteeism given other headwinds? In the current Kappan, I advocate combining local attendance-barrier data with continuous-improvement processes privileging aligned interventions that are evidence-based, lower-cost, & scalable. kappanonline.org/no-one-size-...

I've created a starter pack I'm calling "Education economics and policy", based on folks I follow in this area. Please let me know if I've missed you! go.bsky.app/GHJzy4L

Sadly apt to re-up evidence on immigration enforcement's impact on students & schools Dee, T. & Murphy, M. (2020). Vanished classmates: The effects of local immigration enforcement on student enrollment. American Educational Research Journal 57(2), 694-727. Ungated files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1...

Been thinking about Algebra 1 lately. Last week I wrote about @tomdee.bsky.social study letting struggling 9th graders skip remedial math and go straight to Alg 1. hechingerreport.org/proof-points... Next week I have a piece on 3 reasons that so few low income 8th graders make it to Alg 1.

I keep adding development economists to this starter pack. If you haven't looked in a while there should be lots of new people. #econsky #devecon If this is all new to you, there's also a part 1 on my bio. Let me know if I should add you, a friend, a job market candidate, etc. go.bsky.app/2RbAeCP
