Stereotypes aside, we really gotta help folks understand the ecological fallacy better. It’s pervasive!

Are we just accepting AI-assisted peer review systems moving forward, then? This issue of authors injecting prompts for favorable reviews is moot in a world where reviewers are human only. Right? Am I missing something?

I’m on the #EconJobMarket! I study labor, extreme weather adaptation, and inequality.

My JMP addresses an under-studied aspect of the labor market: schedule unpredictability among hourly workers in the service sector.

Katie Wilson!!!!
We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.

We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.

And we won.

This is YOUR city!

What a fantastic thread. Good luck on the job market!!
👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!

Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:

"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

This is a great example of how we are very much in a new data regime. Been collaborating on an article with a few others on how we got here and what it means for governance. Excited to share more widely soon!

Unreal. As the vote count rolled in, progressive candidate Katie Wilson has overtaken Bruce Harrell by 91 votes for Seattle’s mayor. She is 0.04% ahead after having been down by more than 7 points on election night.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

Since we're doing "AI lit review" discourse, it would be neat if the people talking about it actually knew how chatbots "read" documents. Rather than be (just) a hater, here's a short, non-technical thread about how they actually work under the hood. 1/
