I am excited to be on the job market this year! Here is a quick thread on my JMP 👇 carolyntsao.com/
Carolyn Tsao's job market paper investigates whether public school teachers earn rents. Her novel approach to quantifying rents explicitly takes both pay and the value of non-wage amenities into account. carolyntsao.github.io/websit…
ALT Carolyn Tsao with her job market paper title “It’s Not (Just) About the Money: Pay and the Value of Working Conditions in Teaching,” areas of interest “Labor Economics, Personnel Economics, and Economics of Education,” and letter writers “Alexandre Mas (advisor), David Lee (advisor), and Ilyana Kuziemko.”

One feature I love about this paper is Ian’s ability to distinguish ability among high achievers whose ability would be censored using conventional measures (e.g. SAT). His JMP provides new insight into the role of mentors in the production of talent. Take note, #econjobmarket

I have a new working paper posted today, which argues that U.S. local labor markets (LLMs) should be redefined. I present new LLMs which I argue (1) better match local planning areas, & (2) have higher average internal spillovers. research.upjohn.org/up_worki…

Blink and you’ll miss it, but I contributed to this article’s analysis of trends in university course content. It’s great to see the data I collected used to generate new knowledge.
Stay tuned for more work related to ideology and college courses w/ @GideonMoore and @SamuelThau
Republicans love to blame everything they consider wrong with America on an epidemic of wokeness, by which they tend to mean anything that smacks of political correctness.
In fact, woke views and practices have declined markedly since the early 2020s econ.st/3zf6s0Z👇

Cool to have @IRP_UW summarizing work that @rjx_louis, @just_shelter, and I published earlier this year in @SF_Journal about gentrification and eviction. I've used Focus on Poverty in the classroom, so it's neat to be included here.

I welcome feedback on this project! If you even remotely imply I have done anything wrong, I *will* cry.

Honored to be supported by the WCEG Early Career Award for my work on unemployment insurance receipt, an agenda I’m working on with my talented co-author @casey_mcquillan. Excited to engage with the many great scholars at WCEG and contribute to the important conversations!
