Fact: Migrants have an average positive impact on the economy. Cutting immigration is costly. It will make it *harder* to revert austerity, create growth, and reduce inequality. Wasn’t that the government’s goal? Starmer’s new rhetoric is based on lies. Excellent explainer here :

It's happened to me for the first time. A number of students complained about having to read 1 full book for the semester. Am I antiquated in feeling this is a problem? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

We were careful to focus on sections of letters more likely to talk about the person instead than the research. But some research words make it. Research terms related to research VERY dominated by men/women, eg work on children/ math methods, make it to this graph.

Re/ Methods: Replication codes are available in EJ's data rep, although not the raw letters for obvious confidentiality reasons. Always happy to talk about methods on this, there is still much to do, & potential for constant improvement given fast moving NLP landscape.

Thanks!! Re/institutions: These are the letters received by 1 institution. B/c of the Econ Job Mrket Structure, these are broadly representative of the letters received by research intensive institutions. It's 600->800 applicants per year, >12,000 letters. Most from top-100 institutions (see below)
