I often lose track of the human stories behind the numbers in the research I consume and produce. So I really enjoyed this podcast series, The Sisterhood of Radcliffe, about a group of Black women entering college in 1975. You might appreciate it too. open.spotify.com/show/2tfBVX…
Hearing their experiences before, during, and after college helped me fill in that missing part of the picture. In particular, I can see immediate ties to work from @leah_boustan, @EDerenoncourt, @FranBlau, and many others.

#NursesStrike - what are the issues with rampant hospital system consolidation? It is associated with suppressing the wage growth of nurses. @CalNurses @ANANursingWorld @NursesGroups @ceprdc @EconomicPolicy
I am on the market this year! In my JMP, I study the interaction of UI extensions and local labor market concentration using matched employer-employee data from the LEHD.

The UI-earnings effect is significantly more negative at higher levels of local concentration. This result is not driven by longer spells in more concentrated markets, suggesting potential employer market power is associated with attenuated benefits from more generous UI.

My research agenda focuses on how labor market outcomes are influenced by public policy, as well as on wealth and inequality.
Christa is a fantastic researcher and teacher. In addition to her job market paper, she has a solo-authored paper forthcoming at AEJ: Policy. She also is a dedicated mentor, and cares deeply about helping students succeed, especially those from underrepresented groups. Hire her!

Considering attaching a picture of the new puppy to all my late emails rather than “Sorry for the delayed reply”
A fair wage would give me the stability and security to focus on my work and be a more engaged member of the community. I would also go back to the dentist (sorry mom).
Cornell grads: what could you do with a 45.6k or 40k assistantship?
➡️Dental bills?
➡️Glasses?
➡️Taxes?
➡️Child care?
➡️What?
Tweet @CornellGSU & share what fair wages would mean to you. 6/6
