Maybe CSWEP/AEA can add a couple of questuons about this to their yearly survey of Econ departments? Doesn’t seem hard/burdensome, and having data on is would be useful

Dunno, I may be the only contrarian on this. Offering co-authorship to RAs will only widen inequalities in the field. People that are doing PHDs at top schools will now have more top-5 (or equvalent papers) even before beginning the tenure track.

Very happy that our paper is in such an amazing program. Looking forward to share a draft and 🧵 soon in here! If you are a grad student interested in international macro/international finance it’s a great conference to watch out for.

So excited that this is finally here!! @shenhav_n and I first applied for the data back in 2017, and lots of things have happened since then to both of us (job changes, pandemic, 4 children total). It was great to do all of that with an awesome coauthor!

Texting with a colleague at another uni who is mired in the AEA replication process. Wasting > month getting all in order so that some RA can just push one button and get all the data merges right so that the results are perfect to the 3rd decimal place. 1/5

I hadn’t had strep throat in more than 20 years, and in the last 7 months alone I got it 3 times… #lifewithlittlekids

Also, while the other two times MedStar Health charged me only a $30 urgent care copay, this time MinuteClinic charged me $124, after insurance, for the same thing….. The us healthcare system needs fixing!
