Allison Luedtke @allisonluedtke.bsky.social · 21/07/2025On Wednesday I am giving a seminar at the Minneapolis Fed. Every time I tell an economist* this, they say one of two things: (1) “Really? [You??]” (2) “Oof. Good luck.” Neither of these responses has bolstered my confidence. 270
Allison Luedtke @allisonluedtke.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Recently I started a Substack about economics and decision making. You might like it! Your students might like it! Your colleagues might like it! New post today in which I try to define economics (lmao) and show how it can help you choose things (like beer)! open.substack.com/pub/tenacity...open.substack.comHow many beers should I drink?No, this is not a post about me emotionally processing the tariffs. Mostly. 0100

Allison Luedtke @allisonluedtke.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I really enjoy grading. To be fair I work in a great context for it. My classes are like 25 students max and I have essentially complete autonomy over my assignments. But I also loved it when I was grading 200 Principles exams at UVA. I like the puzzle of figuring out what answers count. #TeachEcon 1101
