A warm-up for the job market. Thanks for doing this!

Thank you Xincheng Qiu for organizing the reading group! It was great experience to present here, and thank you for all the discussions and feedback.

Thank you, Jennifer Doleac, for including my paper on this amazing list! I am a JMC from UCLA. I am a macroeconomist working on the impact of technological change on productivity growth and inequality.

Ok, #EconTwitter, what are the standard interview questions/prompts all JMCs should be ready for? I'll start: 1.) Tell us about you. 2.) Tell us about your JMP. 3.) Tell us about your research.

Thanks to all the speakers for coming and giving the great presentations! It was an amazing experience organizing a conference. Thanks Rice Economics for the opportunity, and thanks Zach Bethune for walking me through every step of it!

Rice has great job market candidates this year! Check them out 👇

An inspiration to all economists. We will miss you Bob Solow.

If you are at San Francisco attending #ASSA2025, join our session on the last day of the meeting, where I'll present together with the great group Shaoshuang Philip Schnattinger and Wenting Song!
