Oh 🇦🇹, my love. Calling Austrian ✈️ for a rebooking.
Take 1:

Macro is awful in that dimension, yes. Yet
@NYUFASEcon
rules! 2 junior and 2 senior macro women, and the one junior
@JonSteinsson
counted started her career at NYU 😃
Macro is really awful on gender diversity. In top 10 econ departments there are 68 men in macro and only 7 women. Ratio is lower for juniors than seniors: 18 junior men, versus 1 junior woman.

What long-run effects should we expect from changes in input prices?
Our paper w/
@cian_ruane
suggests that firms can substitute between intermediates much more easily than previously thought, consistent with
@ben_moll
@MSchularick
@GeorgZachmann
’s recent work on Germany.
Substitution elasticities between material inputs are above 1 for Indian manufacturing plants in the long run. In contrast, intermediates and value added are complements, from Alessandra Peter and Cian Ruane
