The role of universities has recently come into question. In a paper published today in Science Advances, we show that the general public expects universities to do more than education and research; with some disagreement on exactly what they should do science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

In case you're excited about labor economics and are considering a predoc: please come and work with my wonderful colleagues and me at the @Princeton @PrincetonEcon Industrial Relations Section. Please spread the word! 🙏👇 irs.princeton.edu/senior-res…

I'm hiring an economics predoc at @ColumbiaSIPA, generally on applied micro projects, but with a large focus on the impacts of AI on economic outcomes using large-scale field experiments with many companies.
Please share widely: apply.interfolio.com/194121
A call to refrain from using AI for reviews: please don’t do this. If journal editors want to do it, they can do so and inform authors. Many are going in that direction. Reviewers however should play their role: be an independent human evaluator. Don’t accept to review otherwise!

Great day at SOFI in Stockholm! Great labor group, and what a setting for lunch! Ideal to present my paper with Rustam Hakimov on the value of social bonding at work!

Our paper Pricing with Algorithms appears in current issue of AER: Insights. Through a simple model it illustrates how temporary commitment & quickness of response afforded by algorithms could lead to collusive outcomes, which seems outside the scope of current anti-trust laws.

Thank you to @roby_nistico for the wonderful 4th edition of the Badolato Labour & Organization Workshop. Fantastic setting, intellectually stimulating presentations and a really great organization with many personal touches. My favorite event of the year!

I’ve been sharing research about how remote work hurts mental health.
Getting lots of angry comments from folks who like WFH.
A common critique of our research is that in other studies, participants say they like remote work. And many stay in remote positions. So people are voting with their feet, right?

Our paper “Difference-in-Differences Designs: A Practitioner’s Guide” is now published in the Journal of Economic Literature. It took us a while but we are happy!
We put together a lot of material to make the paper useful in practice: psantanna.com/JEL-DiD/
Hope you like!
