🙋‍♂️ Anyone trying to form a session for AEAs? I have three papers that could work... one could fit with urban/innovation/effects of tech & AI, one is urban/health, and one is health/public. #econsky please share! 👍

This was a really fun interview about the role of ridesharing in rual healthcare access! Also an honor to cite a new paper by @jcmecon.bsky.social @conornomics.bsky.social @kteltser.bsky.social (nber.org/papers/w33077). youtu.be/MrQgqjX1BeE

Nice Stata Q: rdrobust appears to have removed options for manually specifying # bins or binning method (quantile, even counts, etc.). My RD now defaults to using each data point as its own bin? Is manual binning before running rdrobust the only workaround? #econsky #stata

Looking to create a session at #ASHEcon2025 on disability. It would fall under either Health and Development or Child and Infant Health. I need two papers. @zoemclaren.bsky.social @shooshan.bsky.social can you help amplify? Also, I am the Health Equity Chair, so send in your health equity papers.

Grateful to the NBER for sharing our work! Just 19 days ago, we thought posting a thread and sharing only on X made sense... but Bluesky's growth over just the past three weeks has been amazing! (Note: paper is now forthcoming at JHealthEcon!) @jcmecon.bsky.social @kteltser.bsky.social

Find myself using phrases like "the changes I document" instead of "the changes I find" and "For instance" instead of "For example" and I just know I picked them up from constantly reading ChatGPT output. 🙃

New life goal: have my research be sufficiently focused that I get into *one* starter pack! Am I health? Labor? Urban? Econ History? Who knows! 🤣

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

Anyone have any tips or tricks to get funding for seminar speakers? It seems most departments (e.g., science & engineering) at my school expect those visits to be covered by faculty grants #econsky

🚨New paper alert! "#Ridesharing & External-Cause Mortality." While ridesharing is convenient, the advent of UberX in an area is associated with a 10% ⬆️in external cause mortality among those aged 18-45; deaths mainly from ⬆️ alcohol and drug use. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
