Thanks to @yanarodgers.bsky.social, Debotri Dhar, Revecca Pedi, and @kahooser.bsky.social for an inclusive and empowering discussion on #Women in #InternationalRelations. The audience members joined in from 26 countries across six continents!

Why Trump’s offensive against the Fed's Lisa Cook is a ‘five-alarm fire’ At issue is an attempted White House power grab that ignores the rule of law and puts global economic stability at risk.

OK, who wants to help me draft & distribute a letter of support for Lisa Cook & Central Bank independence?

I already have a first draft & a bunch of academics' emails

If you want to help get this going, email me (tatyana@deryugina.com)

Roundtable at @iaffofficial.bsky.social on my new book: Economics and the Family: A Social and Political History (Cambridge University Press). Thank you for the discussion @rgbetancourt.bsky.social @yanarodgers.bsky.social Nancy Folbre and Mariel Gruppi

📌Featured in the Global Reproductive Justice issue: Annie McGrew & @yanarodgers.bsky.social reflect on why employers subsidize employee access to fertility-regulating technologies and whether this enhances or undermines reproductive justice.

The costs of restricting abortion? More than $130 billion per year. A new report quantifies the costs of rising abortion restrictions three years after Dobbs.

We have evidence abortion bans harm women, now evidence it harms the economy. These bans need to be repealed ASAP.

🚨Working paper alert🚨🏳️‍🌈 #EconSky #LGBTQ+economics Proud to share our working @yanarodgers.bsky.social in which we empirically analyze whether LGBTQ+ women suffer more severe mental health consequences during the pandemic www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

I will be presenting the paper "LGBTQ+ women and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic" (joint work with @yanarodgers.bsky.social ) at SEHO conf tomorrow 15:00-17:00 in Zaragoza @unizar.es

Feminist economist Susan Feiner’s brave sister Emily Feiner is making global headlines for standing up for freedom of voice and democracy at a local town hall meeting and getting forcibly removed by a bunch of officers. #Econsky eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

My Dutch-American friend @yanarodgers.bsky.social is reading my column book today while enjoying the sunshine. For those interested, such short pieces may make a good holiday reading 😊

Such a travesty that the Demographic and Health Survey program was terminated this week.

I realize the Gates Foundation can't pick up all the pieces, but this one seems like a natural one for them to pick up given that the DHS is the go-to data source for many of their focus areas.

If you're looking to break from doomscrolling at end of week - check out this fascinating new special issue in @FeministEcon edited by @BilgeErten @DuvvuryN @bilgeerten.bsky.social + Ramnarain on perspectives on conflict, disaster + violence against women #econtwitter #econsky

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky

Thank you @aeacswep.bsky.social for the opportunity to organize CSWEP panels at the annual EEA conference and to contribute to CSWEP’s hugely important mentoring and training programs.

What’s wrong with describing your female PhD student as “careful” but your male student as “superb”? Find out in this new paper by Beverly Hirtle and Anna Kovner on gender and race/ethnicity biases in rec letters for Econ job mkt candidates. #Econsky @newyorkfed.bsky.social @richmondfed.bsky.social

Running during a break from #ASSA2025 is such a great way to see the sights and catch up with #Econ5k friends @inaganguli.bsky.social and @dbergstresser.bsky.social

Happening right now at #ASSA2025. A fascinating AEA session on the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies.

Wonderful photos!

@aeacedpc.bsky.social and @aeacswep.bsky.social are working hard to improve the economics profession. Econ dept chairs, be sure to complete the survey emailed to you, and if you are going to #ASSA2025, please attend this inaugural session on best and worst practices in econ departments. #EconSky

Misty a big yes, let’s trade messages about schedules and figure out a time to meet 💕

Here’s my attempt for an age group award for the #Econ5k. Looking forward to running together with #EconSky friends at #ASSA2025 in SF this week :)

Remember to submit your #Econ5K results, and you can still get a T-shirt! Look who else has one 👀

Just submitted my entry for the “artistic merit” award for this year’s #Econ5k. We ran the shape of the Liberty Bell in Philly this morning. A bit more than 5k but hopefully top marks for creativity. Thnx @econ5k.bsky.social for the incentive to do this :)

Our new study in Disability and Health Journal shows that Direct Support Professionals have very high rates of food and housing insecurity. Their pay is effectively set by Medicaid reimbursement rates, implying that gov'ts have institutionalized economic insecurity among DSPs and their households.

Look what arrived today, it’s my 2025 #Econ5k tshirt! Now I just need to run a decent time. Thanks @econ5k.bksy.social for your community-building efforts :)

How Fast-Food Giants Hide Behind Their Franchises As major fast-food corporations like McDonald’s and Taco Bell transformed into almost fully franchised operations, the chains created a system that shields them from accountability on labor issues whi...

Pressure from fast food corporations like McDonald’s to meet strict turnaround targets at the drive-thru contributes to poor working conditions, yet franchise owners are held responsible. An example of David Weil’s fissured workplace. Good read. #EconSky

Don't forget to submit @ashecon.bsky.social abstracts by Wednesday! Especially looking forward to your Aging, Demography, and LTC submissions! www.ashecon.org/2025-nashvil...
