Attention IO job market candidates:
Sometimes speakers in the CMA's external economics seminar series have to cancel at relatively short notice. We would love for these slots to go to JMCs to present their job market paper.
Drop me a message if you are interested or share with those who might be.
I read @itsafronomics.bsky.social new book “The Double Tax” this afternoon. It’s engaging and one of the best popular ways to bring social science to the public and policy that I’ve read in a long while. Black women are uniquely disadvantaged in our economy. 😍 she gave Janelle James her flowers!
I signed an open letter from economists supporting Fed independence & Gov. Lisa Cook. Letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Add your name by Monday: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
This letter is not particularly controversial in its assertions and the topic of central bank independence is extremely important. Takes about 4.5 minutes to read and sign (if you agree.) Looks like the number of signatories is up since Tatyana's post, but Economics needs YOU!
Update: we are at 379 signatures in support of Lisa Cook and Fed independence!
The letter be open for signatures through Sun. (Link to sign at the top).
If you are on X or listservs, please spread the word there!

Just added my signature to the letter.
This is a no brainer.
It’s wild we’re having a conversation about US central bank independence in 2025. But here we are.
Please read and consider adding your signature.
Today you can catch me on @npr.org's Here and Now sharing why the allegations against Governor Lisa Cook hold no merit and why more economists need to be speaking out. #econsky #blacksky #politics #news

I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time

The take away from upzoning in IL was developers find the worst houses on the best blocks to remodel/infill. Very little new housing quantity but increased quality I believe.

A long-run policy or technology-driven decline in oil demand will likely lead to oil supply disinvestment, rather than a green paradox in which producers accelerate extraction, from Ryan Kellogg https://www.nber.org/papers/w33207

"This paper identifies an important bias — termed dynamic bias — in fixed effects panel estimators that arises when dynamic feedback [past outcomes influencing current outcomes] is ignored in the estimating equation." klosins.github.io/Klosin_JMP.pdf #econsky
