Regarding allegations against Christina Cross: We, a group of scientists who lead public datasets (including PSID), wish to state that her discussion of PSID isn't plagiarism.Standard language to describe public data is, in fact, good scientific practice. Letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
As a principal investigator on large public data collection projects (like PSID), I can clearly say that using standard language to describe publicly available data is not only *NOT* plagiarism, it is, in fact, best practice to ensure rigorous reproducible science.
Here is Rufo's absolute BS, with Carlson and Cross's text. She cites them 20 words later. The "minor word substitutions" are not covering her tracks, they are science proceeding. The papers are on different topics. Cross used methods they described, with citation. We need rules that allow this. /2

Just getting back from a great few days at the @nber.bsky.social Behavioral Public Economics Bootcamp.

I learned so much over three days and am eager to keep in touch with everyone. Many thanks to Dmitry Taubinsky, Hunt Allcott, and Doug Bernheim for organizing!

Hi #EconSky! I’m a PhD Candidate at UW-Madison (b-school) in the (awesome) Risk & Insurance department. I’m not on the job market this year but figured I’d introduce myself.

My research focuses on individuals and insurance markets, with health + policy + aging interests. A social insurance nerd!
