"Out of the overflow of the hearth, the mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45)

An evergreen truth.

Sighs, time to go out to the practice field.

@wshcommanders.bsky.social, I haven't kicked in 15 years but I bet I could do pretty well.

It worked! I just got my confirmation email. Thanks again Josh.

10% of me believes that the AI hype is stoked by cloud provider firms, who are just making a killing on data centers.

I will start with Rob. Thanks Josh! Its a paper linking the PSEO data to business formation data to measure business start-up activity of graduates. I think it is a great paper, and its just about ready for the light of day.

Would I just cold-email Caroline?

What are the odds I can just cold email an extended abstract and still have a shot?

I saw this too late 😭
It wasn't listed on the call for Papers on NBER which is what I check regularly.

Has the call for Economics of Education NBER conference gone out?

I have documented opinions that show this is the case - one reason why PSEO is so powerful.

While the de minimus exemption causes lots of people to realize how tariffs are impacting them directly, I am reminded of the long literature on the different effects of *where* taxes are collected and how that impacts their salience.

Should be fun to read the papers in a few years on this topic.

A really cool paper, with lots more to come on the claims front.

My daughter started at a new school and has had a tough time fitting in. I learned yesterday that she joined a "recess club" of girls who kill lantern flies and dismember them, bringing their wings to science class as trophies.

I mean, I *think* down is bad, but then again, I went to public school in the US so I could be reading the graph wrong.

The paper opens with an acknowledgement of my former colleague Matt Graham, who is deeply missed and was the chief architect of all things LODES.

If you love LEHD data products, and want to learn more about how LODES is created, our technical documentation finally got posted!

I have a new paper that links PSEO data to business formation data at the individual level, but cannot come up with a paper title for the life of me.
Does anyone have a punchy paper title idea? @joshua-goodman.com ?

This article is written like my kids don't wake up at 5:30am every morning ready to attack the day, despite whenever they go to sleep.

If only there wasn't a student unit record ban and all this tabulation could be done centrally with the same methodology.

I have spent months hyping my kids up about the upcoming Fort Dupont Ice Arena opening just 5 minutes from me - my son loves hockey and my daughter just loves skating.
Thanks to negligence from SMOOT contractors, it looks like we have to wait much longer:

Incredibly helpful explainer.

10/10 parody. No notes.

Probably would have been even faster with SAS.

The meme potential is endless here.

What they *should* be doing is integrated AI into the administrative workload that faculty have. Don't remember how to submit receipts? Ask Claude. Don't remember the process for something you haven't done in 3 years? Ask Claude. That is where the real gains could be.

I know this is the smallest thing, but can we require CRs to end at the end of a pay period?

Just finished the podcast series Scam Inc. from the @economist.com
I learned a lot of things, including the "securitization of scam targets."
I also learned that crypto makes these crimes very easy.
