Re-upping my advice about how to write a good title and abstract for an academic paper, appropriately called: "How to Write a Title and Abstract" Feel free to share this thread, which will focus on abstracts. (The quoted thread focuses on titles.) #EconSky #AcademicSky

After being an editor for 6.5 years (4 REStud; 2.5 JEEA), I have accumulated a few suggestions that can help you avoid unnecessary rejections.

Suppose I’m lecturing on trade. Previously, I would have lecture slides and invite discussions. Now, I might say “use AI to understand how trade liberalisation affected development, and why this varies worldwide” Let them investigate for 15 mins, then review their answers

Our paper with @sgoulas.bsky.social and Panagiotis Sotirakopoulos has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)! Using an online survey-based randomized experiment, we ask: do teachers perceive all top-performing students as equally influential role models?

This paper is a great example of solid evidence of systemic discrimination: "Black taxpayers are audited at 2.9 to 4.7 times the rate of non-Black taxpayers." This reflects a series of choices built into the IRS audit algorithm: focus on the EITC, and overclaiming of credits.

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring. The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)

This post is for the skeptics who think this is not me. We took this picture in front of Walmart HQ in Bentonville. The idea is to show causality--the truck ran out of gas! I am in the back and I used this picture in a lecture for execs to show the power of causality.
