Can you imagine how much clothes would cost if insurance did cover it?!

This is a great job for someone committed to the development of economic history as a field. You'll be part of a large community of scholars based in both history and economics, with a vibrant seminar life and lots of interesting people coming through. And a fellowship in Nuffield to boot.

As cold and snowy as it is here in Ohio, at least we do not have to play football in it.

Am putting together a video / workshop on how to use LLMs / AI for research projects + coding. What are some things that you would most benefit from seeing? This would be targeted towards economists.

I have always admired Miami for its strong commitment to both high-quality scholarship and undergraduate education. This interesting paper really speaks to the mechanisms and explains why schools like mine really punch above their weight with respect to student outcomes.

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year! Let's start with a student describing her segregated school: "The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education" The twist? The student is white, and her school is private. A JMP 🧵 -->

It’s always great to see that the world supply of soy (or virtually any other commodity) is indeed perfectly elastic. Gotta say that this tariff brought in a heap of revenue. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

The recent disaster and loss of lives in Texas is so sad. But I’m reading that the cuts to weather personnel are related to a “decades-long effort to privatize weather information.” But I’m thinking that weather information is almost a quintessential public good? www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

As Trump slashed weather agency, his appointees have ties to companies that stand to benefit from privatizing forecasts

Companies poised to step into the void have ties to those tapped by President Donald Trump to run agencies that collect weather data and publish forecasts.
