That’s just an artifact of the latex translation! Should be a hyphen

That’s very kind of you to say!

🙌 🙌 So happy to see this project come to fruition and this paper officially forthcoming at AEJ: Policy -- in part because I care so much about the question and am proud of how we answered it, and in part because I got to work with superstar coauthors Jocelyn Wikle and Riley Wilson, who are the best.

🚨The PEER Center is hiring! We currently have two positions posted (details below). We're a #highered research center (led by @srcellini.bsky.social @jdmatsudaira.bsky.social) focused on generating actionable research for state, federal policy. Put your data skills to work for an important purpose!

I was just there two weeks ago! And someone told me the story that it was indeed designed with Princeton in mind...

Nic, a true lol

Should I be proud that my daughter got the only perfect score on her first exam in AP Econ? Well, sure, but this semester is macro. 😐

When the Boston and South Bend gates are next to each other at ATL… great to see @joshua-goodman.com on his way home from Georgia State on my way home from Duke!

Okay, one little bit of further commentary.

AMA about the last 10 years of my professional life... 🤣

The AEA released the committee's report on the 2023 climate survey and it's chock full of depressing stuff, but I couldn't help but notice this pull quote.

Posted here without further commentary. 👀

the deleted comment was from another account -- the post that I was originally responding to as clarification. It turns out I can't control what other accounts do with their posts.

Yes thanks — all of my research and policy work is in this area. I was just clarifying what Head Start is (and is not).

Head Start is a federal program for preschool-aged children from low-income households and is free everywhere

Question for BBN: I've never been to Duke before. Am I wearing these overalls, or should I just dress as The Wildcat?

investments, what we still need to know, and how this evidence base can and should inform policymaking.

Well now you’re making me want to go! It’s so far (I realize I’m saying from within the U.S. 😂).

what gif pops up when you type your name?

Advice: if you’re trying to fit in in your run-of-the-mill academic econ dept, jokes like these will not help 😂

1. Don’t make fun of golf
2. Don’t imply that the men aren’t super hard workers who contribute a lot to the life of the dept and society

I’m all for an economy that facilitates career-family balance but maybe the men could also do something.

I think it’s funny that there are lot of efforts to quantify the broader economic implications of family-friendly policies that help women enter or remain in the labor force, and I workout at a golf club on weekday mornings and see another area for productivity gains.

Erika has had a distinguished public service career, serving with excellence and integrity. My many thanks to her.
