Now online at Nature Human Behaviour: "Consumption Responses to an Unconditional Child Allowance in the U.S." We study how the 2021 CTC expansion affected family expenditures using observed (rather than reported) consumption data from 1.3 million establishments. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For my university laptop, it dying just means I took it to a meeting longer then an hour or so. So, maybe this isn’t universally true.

The strangest case of my primary care career began with an electronic patient request. I get these a lot. 99% are med refills, forms, or questions about symptoms. This was different. My patient felt fine. But, he was worried he’d be sent to jail… 1/13

Really great piece. It’s just so upsetting.

Very happy to see our new paper published in Demography, in which we show that welfare reform had plausibly causal and substantively important negative effects on the quality of emotional support in the home environments of young children. read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

This paper was a labor of love and the outflow of a failed grant submission a number of years ago. It may also be the nerdiest/most esoteric paper I've put out there. Hopefully one of you enjoys it.

In the paper, I really do two things: (1) I retool Differential Rent 1 and 2 to try and make them analytically useful concepts. (2) I trace the contours of each rent category across our two main surface water doctrines in the United States.

New paper on surface water, rent, and Marx! Happy to share that my new paper on the role of Marxian rent in the context of surface water is out in Theory and Society! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This makes me feel better about the 5-10 meetings I wildly mischedule or miss a year because time zones remain hard for me.

The book, which I hope will be out sometime in 2025, has taken a lot of my time and attention over the past couple of years. I am very happy UNC Press and @lucaschurch.bsky.social believe in it, and will be helping me put it out into the world.

Really thrilled to be able to announce that my book project, The Case for Rural America, is under contract with @uncpress.bsky.social and the Rural Studies Series! In it, I make the case for sustaining rural America, while critiquing the status quo of rural development.

There's a new Atlantic article about accidental pregnancies at age 40 & older that noted that 75% of such pregnancies are unintended, & that's just not right. It's 32%. But I 100% agree we need more attention to repro needs during perimenopause. www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/se...

If you want to be a copy editor, go do that. But that’s not what this is. And also stop being so rude, don’t call people’s writing “awkward” or say a table is “very unprofessionally formatted” (looked fine to me). If you’ve done this recently… looking at you!

J. Tom Mueller @jtommueller.bsky.social · 14/11/2023

Since I keep seeing this when I see other people’s peer reviews… stop giving line edits as peer reviews! That’s not the task! If you see a typo, tell them to do a proofread. I promise you, line edits are NOT the norm.

J. Tom Mueller @jtommueller.bsky.social · 10/11/2023

Great position to be in! I mean, I’ve never recommended any place to reject a paper due to the number of tables. If the journal allows it, why not? My issue is that many journals limit the number of “elements” you can include.

J. Tom Mueller @jtommueller.bsky.social · 10/11/2023

Ah. Yeah that’s tough. Can you make one table to summarize the replications?

J. Tom Mueller @jtommueller.bsky.social · 09/11/2023

I recently had an editor make me add in like legit 5 tables from the appendix to the paper before sending it out. Reviewer comment? “Far too many tables”

I have been informed the NIEHS payline has been moved down to the 7th percentile this year due to federal budget concerns. My recent submission was just scored at the 8th percentile. 🥴

I am consistently surprised when I work with physical scientists and these are accepted as valuable without question. I shouldn’t be at this point, but I am.

Currently have a paper where if we followed this common rule, we would be seriously understating impacts AND inequality. It’s not a good rule.

I’ve had multiple papers rejected because it was “something we already know”. However, in all of those cases that “thing we know” is completely absent from any written record. Documenting the “obvious” in the written record is essential for advancing science.

Read this book and plan to use in my environmental health class this Spring. A great look at the successes and struggles of local organizing against environmental injustice. So many books leave students with the feeling that they can’t do anything, I’m hoping this helps increase their optimism.

Starting this Bluesky account the same week I’m starting my new gig as an Asst. Prof of Population Health at the KU Med Center. Couldn’t be more excited to finally start my new role in Kansas City.
