I have multiple students on the market this year who are absolutely excellent. So excellent that they will be bonafide candidates at many, many schools. Some of which refuse to use recruitment websites and instead require bespoke interactions and submissions. I have...feelings about this.

For those hiring at non-PhD schools, I'll be curious if the market is changing. Having been on many hiring committees I wondered what the market was like for non-PhD schools, so I wrote a paper journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

I know the AEA is trying to create diversity on a number of lines (gender, race), but I think everyone nominated this year works at University with a PhD granting department. I don't feel like there is diversity of institutions @aeainformation.bsky.social www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/le...

Fed an abstract into regular Chat GPT and some reviews from a rejection and it came up with the same two journals to submit to next. It suggested some non-econ journals but I think I agree with Chat's conclusion that probably best I stick with econ journals

Got 2 requests from highschoolers looking for opportunities to do research with me. I have a tough enough time doing research with undergrad so I always say no. That said I also wish I could help my highschool aged daughter find a different econ mentor to work on her cool project idea

Gut check as some students work on econ PhD admissions for the coming year: The mapping from GRE score to percentile has shifted a lot for quant in the past decade. (e.g., a score above the 90th percentile 15 years ago is at the 80th percentile now). Are PhD programs filtering on score or %tile?
