This puts economics at or near the bottom on gender, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity among US-born PhDs. The correlation btw diversity metrics is strong -- suggesting that the same kinds of factors may be leading to lack of diversity across all these metrics. (4/N)

My colleague Julian Reif is a standard-bearer for replication and transparency in economic research. His coding guide, software, and replication packages are public goods that facilitate best practices. A brief thread on the tools and templates I use regularly.

Extraordinary and extremely important piece. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/…

Our new study on #lifestyle behaviors and #mentalhealth of young adults one year into #COVID19 is now available online (joint with Paolo Barbieri, Silvia Saccardo SallySadoff ). Generously funded by J-PAL North America nature.com/articles/s4159…

One year after an J-PAL North America-funded #RCT found that incentivizing physical activity had little impact on mental health, this follow-up by SallySadoff, Osea Giuntella, Silvia Saccardo, & Paolo Barbieri demonstrates how #Covid19 continues to disrupt daily life: nature.com/articles/s4159…

The #Covid19 pandemic put the majority of young adults at risk for anxiety and depression. In a J-PAL North America funded study, SallySadoff examined whether incentives for physical activity could improve mental health among this vulnerable group: povertyactionlab.org/evaluation/inc…

I’m looking forward to building the Black Economic Research Center! This initiative is needed now more than ever! Please send ideas and other info to help make the most impact possible!

I loved Todd Jones 🦊 paper last year on the flow of Ph.D. students & the composition of economics departments. ~75% of the faculty at Harvard & MIT earned their Ph.D. at Harvard or MIT. Here's the full paper: edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/…

There are resources available to all of us. The AEA has a bunch of things we can use on their site. In addition, educators have published additional resources. I love this one by Div.E.Q.: diversifyingecon.org Stuff is there, but people don't want to do it.

UMSL Econ faculty member Anne Winkler @annewinkler11 and co-author Francine Blau @FranBlau just published the 9th edition of their book, The Economics of Women, Men, and Work (Oxford University Press)!

RT #EconTwitter The NEAEcon board has issued a statement in support of the historic nominations of Dr. Lisa D. Cook and #PhilipJefferson to serve on the Federal Reserve Board. The letter by our President @Nina_EBanks on behalf of the board is linked below.

There's been lots of progress on diff-in-diff in the econometrics lit in the last 5 years. Lots to keep up with. Here are the resources I've found most accessible. 🧵👇

#Econtwitter does anyone know of a geographic (e.g. county, zipcode) level measure of gender norms for the USA? Thank you for helping me find this!?

A very nice paper coming out in AEJ: Applied showing the financial value of majoring in economics relative to other disciplines (e.g. psychology). The 2 key graphs are below. Authors: Zachary Bleemer and Aashish Mehta
