Great start to the week as this paper is now out at Journal of Public Economics! We look at the way schools influence children's applications to SSI, using variation in virtual learning during the pandemic. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
🚨 NEW WORKING PAPER 🚨 We study school closures during the pandemic to show that schools are a critical channel through which children with disabilities learn about SSI. Counties with more virtual schooling in 9/2020 had fewer SSI applications in subsequent months. 1/4

Let's have a serious conversation about the phrase "unskilled labor". Economists have used that phrase for as long as I've studied economics. At some point I became inured to it falsely thinking it's no judgment, just trying to classify workers. That's wrong. It's horrible. 🧵
If it's unskilled labor, why didn't your buddy just do it himself?
