Brown University Economics Job Market Candidates 2023-2024 #EconTwitter

Brown Economics has a great set of job market candidates this year. In this thread, I highlight (alphabetical order) the four candidates for which I am writing letters. Please reach out with any questions. Below is a link to the full list of candidates. economics.brown.edu/job-market-can…

Francesco Ferlenga is working in political economy. His job market paper is titled "Symbols of Oppression: The Role of Confederate Monuments in the Great Migration". Francesco and I have a joint project on repeat voting in the US during the 19th Century. francescoferlenga.com

Public spaces are filled with divisive monuments. Can these symbols affect the groups opposing them, or are they inconsequential symptoms of the consequential underlying ideology? With an IV and an online experiment, I show that monuments directly affect location choices
