My great uncle does not know what my job market paper is about, but this text exchange with him may end up in my job talk.

Meet today’s featured JMC, Kyle Coombs (Kyle Coombs)! In “Crowding Out Crowd Support?" Kyle Coombs estimates that the unemployed receive modest informal support via person-to-person apps. This support is only minimally crowded out by public UI benefits.

Guess I’ll have to delay my American Economic Association membership and my quinquennial hair donation appointment.

There have been several good moments so far this year, but my two-year-old niece recognizing and running up to hug my partner and me as we got off the Amtrak is a contender for the highlight.

To celebrate finishing my PhD, I'm doing the 5-Boro Bike Ride and raising funds with the Lymphoma Research Foundation. I donate platelets several times a year - and a major recipient group are those struggling with Lymphoma. I hope you consider giving. secure3.convio.net/lrf/site/TR/Ac…

Incredibly grateful for all the feedback as I rekindle this project.

Yesterday I did the Five Boro Bike Tour. Incredible weather and a great group. If anyone wants to give to the fundraiser, there’s still time. secure3.convio.net/lrf/site/TR/Ac…

NEW EP OUT ON ALL PLATFORMS

Still warm from the laminator. Bates Economics

Bicycle accidents are perfect for the week before I teach my first class! (I’m fine, but disappointed I can’t fly after Supermanning over my handlebars.)

Have econometric geniuses like @sacher_szymon as friends they said, it'll make you more confident about your empirical work they said. Kidding. Really cool work by one of the best friends I made at Columbia Economics. Can't wait for him to present at Bates Economics in two weeks!

Does someone know if there's a national database of U.S. public school start and end dates maintained somewhere? Alternatively, do certain states maintain something like this? I've already checked the NCES.

I'm overdue to announce I'll be leaving for Bates and joining the Vassar Economics department this fall. I'm leaving some fantastic colleagues, but luckily joining an incredible group. Most importantly, I'll live in the same house with my wife and closer to both our families.
