A fun action shot presenting at
@beckerfriedman.bsky.social / UChicago on income responses to the large implicit tax on parent income from college aid!

Lol I have nothing to do with Airbnb.

This is a relatively new program that has recently built a cohort of young econ folks, including Val Bolotnyy, @nataliemillar.bsky.social, @jdlight.bsky.social, Suhani Jalota, Robert Fluegge, @milanq.bsky.social, Oliver Giesecke, and myself. It's a great atmosphere to join!

Thanks for making this! I’d love to be added.

I’m a recent econ phd now at Stanford / Hoover, with developing work on effects of K-12 spending on kids’ long-run outcomes using admin Census data.

The most important thing to carry over from Twitter/X: The time I was retweeted by @khoavuumn.bsky.social

Thanks for reading!

(3) Ongoing projects studying long-run effects of childhood environment (e.g. crime, schools), drawing on incredible data infrastructure at Census Bureau. (with @mattunrath.bsky.social + @jlrothbaum.bsky.social)

(2) In WP with Johnny Huynh, we study a unique "local preference" in college admissions. This boosts enrollment at local 4yr public, not crowded out by enrollment at other in-state 4yr publics. Effect comes all from high URM share HS's. (See fig.) This formally race-neutral policy improves equity!

(1b) I further study how misperception of a complex tax affects deadweight loss (DWL). I show theoretically two channels matter: average & variance of misperceptions. I run a survey to measure these for college aid implicit tax. Crucially, var of misperceptions is large, increasing DWL.

(1a) My JMP from last year studies parent income response to the large "implicit tax" created by means-testing college aid in the US. Much larger than programs like EITC & hits much of middle class (see image), but no previous estimates of parent income elasticity to this tax! I find ETI ≈ .1

Hi! A brief post introducing myself on Bluesky.

I finished my Econ PhD at Berkeley last year (24) and am now a Hoover Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution (like AP w/o teaching).

I'm a labor/public economist who studies education & inequality. A couple examples of my work below!

I would love to be added. Thanks for making this!
