The Illinois Central Railroad carried Black Southerners from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago during the Great Migration. A century later, the SCI shows those same Delta counties remain some of Chicago’s most over-connected distant communities today.
I started a podcast with a bud from my PhD cohort! Each episode one of us tries to convince the other that something is *technically economics*
First episode is on #LoveIslandUSA and out now on all of the platforms! open.spotify.com/show/4Fp77G…

Economic valuations fluctuate in ways empirical research cannot fully explain
What information are we missing? Economic theories emphasize the role of hard-to-quantify beliefs and perceptions
My job market paper develops algorithms + measurement to quantify perceptions of firms

i'm on the job market with a paper about political sorting in the labor market! it's perhaps harder to choose your coworkers than your friends or who you follow on twitter -- could the workplace be less segregated than other places where democrats and republicans tend not to mix?

Three graphs on why rising costs create disproportionate inflation for low-income households
(many thanks @BaldwinRE and @voxeu for covering!)
Inflation inequality: New thinking, new evidence
👉 firms pass on cost↗️same for hi&lo quality: ergo higher inflation for low-end goods (bought disproportionately by low-income ppl)
👉see micro-data for food📈👇(blue line is infl.inequality gap; dotted is CPI)
NB: #inequality rises with average #inflation. Killer chart in 🧵

Countless members of the University of Michigan family have reached out to me over the weekend and I wanted to express my appreciation. Like any community, we face our share of challenges and adversity. There have been many such moments in our history. But as our team showed so clearly yesterday, we will respond to any challenge head on with a conviction to do better and to emerge even stronger. Go Blue! 〽️

It’s interesting. In books like Idea Factory as they talk about Bell Labs and mid-1900s engineering innovation, Midwesterners are everywhere
The authors of all these books note it constantly. It was a talent powerhouse. But they don’t really talk about this at all in the Midwest
Super cool new paper by my (brilliant) friend @jdikatz.
People reacted much differently to liquidity from the CARES Act student loan pause vs direct stimulus. This changes how we should think about, for example, the effects of the pause on inflation

My list of winter-break readings on migration, PE, culture, history, and related (recent only):
1. @michaelcbailey, @drew_m_johnston, Koenen, Kuchler, Russel and @stroebel_econ on nber.org/papers/w29925. I may be biased, but the topic, new data, novel findings, all superb
I feel so lucky to have my grad school cohort also be a wonderful community of friends. Excited for year 2
