I am excited to share my profile as a job market candidate. My research studies how major infrastructure projects reshape the lives of the displaced and those residing in affected communities. Spoiler: Displacement reduces life expectancy by 3 months!

Morgan Foy from UC Berkeley is on the job market this year with an excellent paper on “Selection and Performance in Teachers’ Unions” — be sure to have a close look at his paper! morganfoy.github.io

Fascinating. One has a very strong expectation of the result, given the times we live in. And one is surprised Note: results are only useful if we know scientists do their job and report what they find. When we know only one result is possible, science no longer matters.

“union members appear negatively selected by teacher value added… teachers’ productivity improved in decertified districts. Together, the results imply that union efforts to insulate workers may adversely affect the quality of public services.” morganfoy.github.io/papers/Foy_JMP…
