Excited to join my friends & old colleagues Sev Tousseart & Vatsal Khandelwal for this!!

I'll cover:
- finding ideas outside academia
- data & funding
- empirical papers where identification is hard
- coauthor teams that work
-what to do about "this isn't Econ" comments

Want to measure beliefs but don’t want to ask directly about probabilities?

Check out our new paper for an intuitive choice-based approach!

We use it to quantify beliefs about marriage market returns to girls schooling in rural Rajasthan

I'm very excited for #EEA25!

We had 1900 submissions and look set for a fabulous time in Bordeaux.

A HUGE thanks to the leads and graders who allowed us to get the programme together.

See you in Bordeaux!

Great to have our special issue on gender norms (co-edited along with @nikkishure.bsky.social) out in print. The issue is dedicated to Anita Ratcliffe.

Wow! ESPE. What a conference - fab sessions, inspiring research chats, swimming & dancing.

Huge thanks to Adeline Delavande, Hemut Rainer, Monica Langella & @rnistico.bsky.social for an amazing time!

❤️

One more memorable ESPE is over ✨️

Huge thanks to @s-stantcheva.bsky.social and our referees to help us improve the paper so much!

So excited to see this out!

We develop a way to measure beliefs when it’s hard to ask about probabilities & use it to measure beliefs about girls’ marriage market returns to education in rural Rajasthan

See our companion website for tips & code to help others apply it! github.com/revealedbeli...

Optimistically feeling like winter is over in Chicago! So many people outside during lunch breaks!

❤️ thank you so much!

Thank you!

It was for the AEA recent development initiative - I couldn’t find the right handle!

I put together an overview of recent developments in the literature on gender-based violence for @AEAjournals

There's enough material for 2x 1.5hr lectures. I've covered the material in labor & gender economics classes

I hope they can be helpful!

❤️ so much wonderful advice in this thread

I’m working on domestic and sexual violence. We’ve been looking for partnerships to look at the effectiveness of different policing and policy strategies. Let me know if there might be any crossovers!

There’s a new format to AEAs cont-ed program: “Recent Development” sessions in different areas of Economics.

I’m talking on the economics of gender-based violence & harassment on Sunday. I hope it inspires new work & makes it easier to incorporate into teaching! See you there!

Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and a Smear Campaign After ‘It Ends With Us’ (Gift Article) Private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

I can’t believe women still have to deal with this sh*t. Major professional retaliation for asking for protection against sexual harassment, on a movie project about domestic violence. Are you kidding?? 😭

Continuing the American education. Gosh hockey is intense!

I'm very excited to join the Brooks School of Public Policy and the Department of Economics at @cornelluniversity.bsky.social in January. And we're hiring pre-doc fellows in development economics! Great 1–2 year PhD preparation. Please share widely! cornell.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/CornellCaree...

Oh no, not now overleaf! 😳

New VoxEU explainer on our work on birth timing & spacing, and what this means for the estimation of child penalties

Tl;dr: educated mums spend 25% of the 5yrs following first birth on parental leave for subsequent kids. So how you measure outcomes on PL matters, a lot!
