The #GreenBookProject, by @trevondlogan.bsky.social, @maggieecjones.bsky.social, Rosé & Cook, tracked every establishment that allowed Black patrons during Jim Crow. The data is at the county-level and spans decades. The authors then made the data interactive and available in a one-click download.

Youth unemployment in Canada is on the rise and becoming a topic. The conservatives try to blame immigrant workers and the temporary foreign worker program. I believe this is a cyclical issue. Here is what I have to say yesterday: youtu.be/kwKnp2zzIKc?...

Doing design work for the #GreenBookProject, research by @trevondlogan.bsky.social, @maggieecjones.bsky.social, David Rosé, and others was incredible. There are a lot of small design details, like this custom loading animation, that were a joy to create. #EconSky

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements This is a big deal

Statement from the American Economic Association on the
Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner

Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today.
The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day.
Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias.
The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity.
Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions.
We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure.

New WP with @trevondlogan.bsky.social, David Rosé, and @drlisadcook.bsky.social ⬇️ We study how the intersection of consumer discrimination and market power shapes firm behavior, including pricing decisions using new data on the prices of firms by discriminatory status from 1940-1960.

Happy to share a recent publication, where I discuss the intergenerational legacy of residential schools in Canada. This publication also closes the door on my dissertation, as it’s the final chapter to be published.
