As an economist, I found really frustrating that every rejection feels like a stab in the heart, while every interview request is like ''meh, they are probably interviewing everyone''. Why can't I just be a perfect Bayesian?

Given how I felt on and off for five years, I am not surprised at all. Besides the fact that there is so little support from the Institution and almost no actual venue to discuss how we are doing.
Just released a new working paper on mental health in European Economics Departments joint w.

, and Paul Barreira. Follow this thread for an overview of our research and key findings.

Super cool paper on female earnings and marriage. Adding more evidence to why is best to keep it casual 😁
Interesting work! And related to my JMP: we show that women’s earnings drop after marriage = the marriage earnings gap. We account for children, use admin (🇩🇪) & survey data (🇪🇺), decompose the gap, and analyze mechanisms behind it.
Stay tuned for a longer thread later this fall!

Adopt a young researcher for Christmas, have a look at my JMP 'Technology, Skills, and Performance: The Case of Robots in Surgery'. I show that the returns from using this technology depend on the skills of the surgeon using it. Cool right?

@annastansbury
I think we should be taking more students who are like 27, went to Quackaquack State, and worked! Not more people who always wanted to do a PhD, only had a 3.4, but knew enough about PhD admissions to know to, like, apply to Raj's lab at age 22.

So good to see people taking an interest in my robots !

@ashtari_elena
's JMP studies the use of *robots in surgery*! 🤖
She finds that lower skill surgeons gain the most from robots... BUT the lower skill surgeons use robots the least.
Discretion in usage of a tool can dilute its ability to close gaps in outcomes.

Add constantly worried about money, not knowing whether you are good enough, and being so damn insecure that this is what makes you happy. Yet not sure whether is the PhD thing or just being between you 20s and 30s.
