Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy.
These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure).
And now onto the scholars... 👇

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work.
Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

Field Experiments have matured from academic curiosity to bona fide contributor to knowledge in the past few decades. Yet, the political economy of their deployment in government remains ill-understood. We provide insights in a new working paper, available here: ideas.repec.org/p/feb/natura...

Insightful work by @nicolasacevedor.bsky.social! Check out his JMP where he studies how the TCJA impacts president’s pay and more! #econsky #econJMP
1/ Excited to share my JMP! I study how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—which taxed nonprofit salaries over $1M—reshaped college leadership. Using a natural experiment, I explore how financial incentives impact presidents’ pay, exits, and priorities. 🧵

4/ Pairing isolated students with popular peers can boost social integration but may trigger negative social comparisons, harming self-esteem. Plus, altering deskmate plans reshape entire classroom dynamics; an issue that has prevented peer matching interventions from scaling up.
