For those hiring at non-PhD schools, I'll be curious if the market is changing. Having been on many hiring committees I wondered what the market was like for non-PhD schools, so I wrote a paper journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

The propensity score is a linear, additive combination of the observables. I was taught the propensity is a sufficient statistic of the observables. If we are concerned about non-linearity, fixed effects achieve that.

Age distribution of US university faculty 1977, 1987, 1996. Anyone know what this looks like today or in other countries?

In 1977, two fifths of faculty were under 40. In 1996, that had gone down by approximately half.
