Robert Sockin, chief US economist at PGIM, says the US economy needs two more rate hikes at a minimum and that “the broader direction is up” for interest rates even if the Federal Reserve does not move at this month’s meeting bloom.bg/4hMtf7L

Job ads can signal hidden job traits. Evidence from German workers shows this distorts discrete choice estimates of workers’ willingness to pay, from Pawel Adrjan, Mária Balgova, @simon_jaeger, Jonas Jessen, and @JSockin nber.org/papers/w35457

When firms take political stances, workers sort accordingly. Firm announcements post Dobbs reshaped who applies, who quits, and how politics increasingly organize the labor market, from Pawel Adrjan, Svenja Gudell, @emilynix100, Allison Shrivastava, @JSockin, and @evanpstarr nber.org/papers/w34948

Curious why job seekers turn down job offers after EASY interviews? We use ~500K interview reports plus a field experiment to show interview difficulty signals to workers whether the job is a good fit.
Check out the fantastic @JSockin's talk from NBER ORG Econ (w/ @ellliottt).

Finally had a chance to read this excellent paper.
Limitations on data and methods have thus far kept us from understanding what actually happens at the interview stage of the job market.
It looks like signaling is really happening in both directions, with both workers/firms using interviews to eval fit.

If you’re at or near U of Toronto on Nov 12, please try to catch the fantastic @JSockin talking about “Interviews” (joint w/ @ellliottt).
We show that the difficulty of the interview signals to workers whether the job is a good fit.

Perhaps the future of hiring is not AI, but a dating app...
In ~10 days my fantastic co-author @JSockin presents our paper “Interviews” (with @ellliottt) at @nberpubs. We show candidates walk away when an interview feels “too easy”—they assume the firm would hire anyone.

Our paper is out as a CEPR Working Paper, but there’s a paywall. Please use the freely downloadable version on SSRN (which links to CESifo).
