What happens when online job applicants start using LLMs? It ain't good.
1. Pre-LLM, cover letter quality predicts your work quality, and a good cover gets you a job
2. LLMs wipe out the signal, and employer demand falls
3. Model suggests high ability workers lose the most

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.”
Thank you so much @Woessmann and organizers for such an exciting conference, and for making such a welcoming and constructive environment!! A great conference to look out for going forward!
We had a fantastic couple of days at the 2nd CESifo/ifo Junior Workshop on Economics of Education!🥳
Thanks everyone for making this such a terrific event!🫂
Congratulations to @tsaocaro (@PrincetonEcon) for winning the best paper award!
Travel well!

Still reflecting on yesterday's informative (& interactive!) session led by @KYCommishGlass @Byron_Darnall on the key labor market issues affecting the KY teaching profession today. Excited to see the proposed solutions in action 👩🏫📚 #KyEd
.@KYCommishGlass asks members of Interim Joint Committee on Education to think of one of best teachers they have had in their lives and to share with someone sitting next to them. Some are now sharing stories.

When I finished the first edition of my intro book and sent it for editing, I thought I was home free. Then the publisher returned the edited manuscript. The most memorable edit: every instance of “maximum likelihood estimator” had been changed to “most likely estimator.”

Originally posted at the end of 2016 but even truer now: Beholding a raging dumpster fire, the grad student bids a proper farewell to an utter travesty of a year.
ALT LGS stands in a dark alleyway and looks at a dumpster that is on fire. He is holding a bottle of beer.

Super interesting JMP by U of T candidate (and my good friend) @jefurzer! If you've ever wondered just how costly and pervasive under diagnosing kids at-risk for mental illness can be (spoiler: it is costly and pervasive!), check out her work 🙌
