Estimating returns to minors has been elusive (minors are not recorded in commonly used datasets). We find that, relative to having no minor, Math and History minors have precise **zero** callback returns. 4/6

Causal callback returns to majors. Even among the business-related jobs we targeted, Biology has the greatest callback rate, with Economics close second (omitted major is Philosophy). 3/6

Unbundling college: Causal returns to US college majors, minors, and extracurriculars. An audit study of seniors' first-job search, with Carolina Bussotti, John Nunley, and @alanseals.bsky.social. We find: majors matter, zero returns to minors, positive returns to extracurriculars. 1/6 🧵

Happening in Bari next week! Raffaele Lagravinese, @barbarabiasi.com and I have organized this workshop hoping to bring together Apulian economists around the world (there are a ton!) and researchers at University of Bari (our kind hosts). Hopefully the first of many to come.

Updated version of the paper with @mulysan.bsky.social on how firms & job mobility can be key for immigrants' labor market success. We study the migration of former Soviet Union Jews to Israel during the 1990s, following them up until 2019 using admin data shorturl.at/rwP26
