Minimum Wage Own Wage Elasticity Repository Representative estimates from minimum wage studies

New from @arindube.bsky.social and me: the minimum wage own-wage elasticity repository, an online collection of estimates of employment responses to minimum wage changes.

In contrast to a lot of “sky is falling” scenarios, most studies estimate small negative or positive employment effects.

You can only make a living off of it once you are famous.

The person you knew in grad school who was never broke, never unsupported, and never rejected is now an academic authority on grit

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn.

BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS.

In case you want to make fun about the German hiring process. I am talking about a US University. 😂

Applied for an AP position in fall 2023. I got the rejection email in May 2025. They’ve “narrowed down their search.”
At this pace, I assume tenure decisions arrive by retirement. 😄

For those who teach Behavioral Econ, what textbook/s do you use?

We did not want to start the week like this, but here we are. Yet again our chair’s inbox is filled with messages from replicators who have opened “replication” folders only to find names, Social Insurance Numbers, mental-health diagnoses and incomes of study participants. 🧵
