Biden administration pushes for more investment in early childhood care and education. Estimates at the state-level of how many kids' care would be improved. That 1.2 million is from my study below. www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing...

This is so sad!! Halloween is so fun for the community building. Are they driving to other neighborhoods? I know some people drive to ours…

I was thinking that! There’s this event if <7 years post-PhD and then another for those who are tenured, but I am definitely going to fall into that gap 🫣

Signed up for the @aeacswep.bsky.social junior mentoring breakfast & I didn’t realize that this is the second to last year that I’m eligible 😳 Somehow I’m already in my fifth year as an AP…! (But only second year of my tenure clock due to extensions 😅)

It’s not the Nobel, but, look, neither is the Econ Nobel 😅 - The second chapter of my dissertation is published at the Journal of Health Econ!! I am so excited!!! I study the effect of an info campaign on long-term care insurance coverage - surprise, it works! authors.elsevier.com/a/1huYcc7LG8...

We are not doing anyone any favors by saying the fund expiration will cause a crisis equivalent to the start of the pandemic. It's not going to happen & critics will be happy to point that out as evidence that child care is doing just fine & doesn't require govt intervention.

The child care cliff poses challenges for providers. Some may close, many may raise prices, leaving parents & kids in a bind. But oft-cited estimates that 1/3 will close are wildly improbable - thank you Rachel Cohen for taking a critical look at it - t.co/xVPC4q27bC

A program that saved child care for millions is expiring. What now?

The "child care cliff" marks the end of one of the last pandemic-era safety nets.

As per usual, I would like to remind everyone that South Carolina is one of only three states in the U.S. where you can legally own a kangaroo without a permit. Most other universities can't offer that.

The Economics dept at the University of South Carolina is hiring!! This is a broad tt search for an empirical microeconomist. Preference for ability to teach machine learning or AI methods & research in fields of labor/IO/political economy. JOE ad: aeaweb.org/joe/listing....
