I have done this a few times... In our profession we got so much rejection and even R&Rs may focus on the negatives. Telling someone you like their paper is refreshing for the person and you too!

Community college enrollment has been declining since 2009/10. The optimal policy response to this depends on the root of this decline. I'm thrilled @nber.org today released my working paper with Harvard PhD Joe Winkelmann titled: "Labor Market Strength and Declining Community College Enrollment"

With rent control in the news, it’s a good moment to recall the research of @rebeccadiamond.bsky.social and co-authors. They show that strict rent control in San Francisco reduced the availability of rental housing, eventually *raising* rental costs. doi.org/10.1257/aer....

Do profs respond to student evaluations? On average? Nope. Those who have a more positive view of their own teaching do. But all of these responses are driven by the female teachers. "Male teachers appear to be unresponsive to student feedback." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
