Hi #EconSky! I was on the market this past cycle, specifically focused on the DC-Maryland-Virginia area because my fiancé is at the Fed Board (we get married this May).

I had a few government offers, all of which ended up being affected by the current civil service cuts.

Remember the "Highlights" that some Elsevier journals require? Dean Karlan and friends developed an amazing way to troll them: haikus!

The Netherlands has a $50B trade surplus. If the White House is aiming for zero trade balance, where is my subsidy for stroopwafels?

I’m an (IO) economist. When I give a movie 7/10, it means it was pretty good but I’d prefer a nonlinear story.

I'm an economist, when I give a movie 7/10 it means the movie is well-excuted but unfortunately not enough for a general-interest journal.

I'm an economist, when I give a movie 7/10 it means if I had a copy I'd sell it for $10 but if I didn't I'd buy it for $7
