I just wrote the most laudatory referee report I’ve ever written and I’m so happy knowing that at some point soon I’m going to anonymously make someone feel really good about their scholarship. They deserve it! 👍🏻🙌🤗

New paper out! Hey parents, do you spend more quality time with children before or after dinner? For most parents, quality time is highest after dinner. Moving dinnertime earlier can maximize that time.
I had a lot of fun using ATUS data with @joepricebyu and Luke Rodgers.
Parents who eat #dinner w their children earlier in the evening spend more quality time together after dinner. It is because family dinner often initiates family time in the evenings, and that is good for kids. #REHO @jocelynwikle), @joepricebyu (@byu) buff.ly/397MDbl

I went to Yale in the 1970s, and it was obvious that there were effectively two schools: the one where children of the elite were invited to join secret societies, and one where nerds got to be nerds 1/

Really enjoyed listening to @DianaElder11 and @familylocket on their Research Like a Pro podcast this morning. Fascinating interview with @joepricebyu talking about the BYU record linking lab.

I'd had students asking about this in class and this was really helpful to read. I drove by a Gamestop with our kids today and wished I had read this before then to tell them about it.

This study complements my work on affirmative action and a recent paper on Texas Top Ten by @Econ_Sandy, @JeffDenning, and @rothstein_jesse: quasi-experimental studies of the medium-run effects of access-oriented U.S. admission policies evince BIG economic mobility potential.

For anyone interested, here's my new uncomfortably self-centered #econhistory PhD course syllabus/readings: it has intentional clusters of papers, rather than trying to be comprehensive, and apologies for so many omissions (we'll talk about more). tinyurl.com/y7h5vojh

Econ faculty: Do you have great undergrads who want to go to grad school? Do you want to help them get accepted by the best PhD program that's a good fit for them? Not sure how to do that, perhaps because your program doesn't send a lot of students off for Econ PhDs?

One of my favorite parts of teaching is emailing to congratulate the students who did much better on the final than the midterm — I highly recommend it.

Another paper, by @RyanReedHill and @carolyn_sms, uses a remarkable dataset in structural biology to show the negative impact of publication pressure.
Structural biology is neat because there are standardized ways to assess the quality of protein models. economics.mit.edu/files/2067…

My paper "Nudges Don't Work When the Benefits Are Ambiguous" with Ben Castleman, Fran Murphy, and Bill Skimmhorn was just accepted at JPAM!
Upshot: Nudges to transfer GI-Ed Benefits only worked among those for whom the benefit was least ambiguous.

This is a fantastic paper. They use biometric data to create a massive training set. They do a bunch of exercises that should really advance the frontier in record linking.

I just found out that my job market paper has been accepted at Journal of Labor Economics! I feel so fortunate! Couldn’t have done this without the help of my phenomenal advisors, @kearney_melissa, @kgahome, and Judy Hellerstein.
So what is this?
