Can confirm. Fabiola is the best. She's a great presenter. Invite her out for a seminar, and she will have the best dinner stories for you too.

Has financial literacy been declining or are smartphones changing the way we answer surveys? I was on Marketplace yesterday to talk about how smartphones are making it more challenging to gauge knowledge on surveys. Longer thread coming soon! Check out our full study here: lnkd.in/guiqHmKW

When we use smartphones to respond to surveys, compared to a laptop or tablet, we're more likely to answer incorrectly, or say we don't know. Economist @carlyurban.bsky.social is calling this "the smartphone penalty" in a new working paper. www.marketplace.org/episode/2026...

If there are any current grad students interested in financial literacy who want to do a fixed-price (as a contractor) project for me, shoot me an email and tell me about you/why you're interested! It'll be a great way to kickstart your way in the field. Will start ASAP and must be US-based.
