Economists reading relevant literature but it's not published in a top 5 econ journal:

Survey friends: If you are interested or know someone, Verasight is offering discounted survey time ($1.50/respondent for <=15 Qs) for up to 30k respondents in a potentially massive sample as part of the intake survey for a study we're conducting. Contact me for details!

I’m going to return to vacation and retreat from the discourse but this article about a minister in Macron’s government who finished third in round-one voting and is standing down in the off to maximize the odds of beating the National Front contains a line for the Biden family.

By subgroup, the headline is age: NPORS found the GOP ahead on leaned party ID among 18 to 29 year olds, even though the sample was Biden+20 on 2020 recall vote. The sample size is fairly large (n=496) and it hasn't shown anything like this in previous cycles

Everyone else: what does this mean for 2024 election and beyond? Me:, i probably need to reweight some surveys now

Maybe we can ask Biden to be retweeted by prominent economists.

Have you heard the advantages of collecting expert forecasts of research results, before they are known? You can bypass audience member R2 "We knew that already!". It gives benchmark for what we learn from your study. Never a better time, $5k prize upcoming Edward Miguel Eva Vivalt

Very interesting data on segregation by gender in the US workforce. In a working paper with Reuben Hurst and Justin Frake we use administrative data and find that gender segregation is about the same size as segregation by political partisanship. hq.ssrn.com/submissions/Ab…

Lots of discussion about "the politics of Silicon Valley." As far as I know, David Broockman and I are the only ones ever to systematically collect survey data on the political leanings of this industry, which goes against lots of conventional wisdom: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… 1/2

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition; an order of hash browns, a big mug of Folgers, then log on to the old VPN so you can check your work email on Outlook. But now the woke mob has taken all of that away.

My recent paper update got a fair amount of attention and so I decided to make a twitter thread! The paper studies recruitment at major US and European multinationals to quantify the salience of hiring discrimination in access to top jobs and identify its source…🧵 (1/24)

Is this the Gen Z version of the will.i.am Obama song?

I have nightmares that some big relevant story will break while a survey is in the field... But it did yield some interesting results in this case. Important research (as always) from Sean Westwood, Derek Holliday, and Yphtach Lelkes

New in PNAS Nexus: Correcting misperceptions of the out-party is often recommended as a strategy to reduce polarization, but it may not be as effective as previously thought Sean Westwood Yphtach Lelkes Nic Dias Kristian Vrede Skaaning Frederiksen Lea Pradella Laurits Aarslew academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti… 🧵1/5

This is so spot-on from Matthew Yglesias. A lot of people in the wider world think it's the political science professors who are the left-wing ones, but at least in my experience in academia, as a group we're quite moderate compared to our peers in other fields. 1/3

This is undoubtedly true, and why we think that partisan sorting in the workplace (i.e., the growing tendency of Democrats to mostly work with fellow Democrats and Republicans with Republicans) is such an important area of study papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

excited to share that my article "Public Comment and Public Policy" is now published at AJPS doi.org/10.1111/ajps.1…
