The Caldor fire is giving a whole new perspective on the campaign to "Keep Tahoe Blue."
And if you're a student on the job market this year with a paper on climate change economics, don't forget to submit it to our Sept 29 workshop by Friday: [email protected]
Congratulations, Pierre-Olivier! This is well deserved. You have been a great friend of the @sffed over the years. I hope you will find some time to visit us in your new role. Bonne chance!
I am deeply honored to be appointed as the IMF’s new Economic Counsellor and Director of Research. I look forward very much to working with my new IMF colleagues. imf.org/en/News/Articles/202…
It was a great privilege to be able to chat with Vice Chair Clarida on current policy, credibility, and cooperation across countries.

Still pretty empty in downtown Oakland this morning. No wonder services consumption is still way down.
Hey Econtwitter, we are looking for visiting fellows to interact with our group and participate in our policy discussions with @MaryDalyEcon. It’s a great way to get to know us and some, like John Mondragon, end up staying!

We just had our first Climate Risk Workshop with PhD students on the market this year. Thanks to @joss_roman, @vinnythiv, Samir Elsadek, and Diego Kanzig for great presentations. I hope our comments were useful.
If you are looking to hire in this field, have a look at them!

"If the American dream is to get rich, the German dream is job security for life."
Maybe before, but a lot of Americans would probably like to have a lot more job security too these days.

Useful reading list! Uncertainty remains a relevant topic and certainly an important factor currently weighing on the recovery.
The attached syllabus is for a new course on Uncertainty in Macroeconomics. Any topics/papers grossly omitted? Thanks!

What's surprising in this global survey of econ research is that economists do not think a lot more work in environmental economics is needed.

California has had it's fair share of challenges these days and it's a tougher place to live in many ways. But after more than 10 years here, I'm still mesmerized by its beauty. The Bay Area is a special place.
Today's job numbers clearly show that covid and associated uncertainty continue to play an important role. With the mu variant on the horizon and low vaccination rates, covid uncertainty could weigh on the economy for some time.
I doubt the current transitory inflationary factors will lead to that, but we sure don’t want the Dollar Store to become the $2 Store…

It remains striking how financial markets are taking the high inflation numbers in stride. Barely any movements in inflation compensation today. Markets could be wrong, but it says a lot about Fed credibility.
Great initiative!
Are you a graduate student in Economics? You can help applicants from Africa by mentoring them and showing them how to navigate the application process. More details here: gain-network.net/mentors
Great tips, though I'm sure failing at reading every day. Another useful advice that I got early on and that was really helpful to me was how to deal with lengthy revisions: simply work on them one hour a day! It really works and reduces your stress level.
Good advice for grad students and even for more senior researchers.
