This is a nice summary of my work with @ChrisSeveren on the impact of access to driving on high school dropout behavior
For teenagers, few choices weigh as heavily as whether to finish high school. Does being able to drive affect their decision? @ChrisSeveren explores several possible outcomes in the latest Research In Focus. bit.ly/3XUMxLd

Cool new result 🚨 : in our revised paper, @vkbostwick and I show **long-run** effects of graduated driver licensing on education --> increasing minimum driving age increases high school completion when teens can otherwise drop out.

I would like to strongly 2nd this statement:
Summary: cool paper, kudos to authors. There is a ton of randomness in phd applications and the job market — we should all stop judging people based on which job they got or which school they went to, and we should be spending more time looking at their work. n/n

Nearly 3 years ago, executive & then Congressional action paused payments on most federal student loans at start of the pandemic. What started as emergency response is now tethered to WH proposed loan forgiveness. What is cost? Who benefits?

"while there are no significant gender differences in performance, employers believe that female programmers perform worse than male programmers."
"This belief is strongest among female employers."

Interested in mobility restrictions and/or education ⁉️ Come see my presentation on GDLs 🚗 and HS drop outs with @vkbostwick at @UrbanEconomics conf tomorrow (Friday) at 2pm in the Education session. Thread ⬇️

New working paper alert! The fabulous @vkbostwick and I study the consequences of teen driving restrictions on teen schooling (and jointly on teen work).
Though mostly empirical, we do some cool structural methodology stuff too! See 🧵⬇️

This was a very intriguing presentation - @HaegeleIngrid shows that, instead of a glass ceiling, women face a "broken rung" impediment to entering lower level leadership positions
🚨 Join us tomorrow (Friday) at 11ET for the next Discrimination Seminar with @HaegeleIngrid presenting "The Broken Rung: Gender and the Leadership Gap." Zoom link: tinyurl.com/u9nk9bvy
A thread on my new working paper with @ChrisSeveren
Conclusion = mobility is important for human capital accumulation and teen activities (work/school/leisure) interact in unexpected ways!

I'm very excited to be presenting in the @aarcresearch webinar series next month! I'll be discussing my work on gender peer effects in STEM PhD programs. Register to attend here: aarcresearch.com/events
My paper with Bruce Weinberg is finally, officially in print at JOLE (@SOLE_Labor_Econ) 🥳#EconTwitter
In short: women in STEM PhD programs are more likely to succeed if they have female peers 🧵 1/n

We are able to rule out several alternate explanations for our main findings: ❌gender composition of the program’s faculty, ❌gender of the graduate director, ❌gender composition of adjacent cohorts 7/n
