My dept head (Paul Djupe) and I published an article about our unique undergrad program called Data for Political Research, and why more schools should adopt a datacentric poli sci track that emphasizes applied research. I wrote about it in my latest newsletter:

My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:

Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.

New podcast episode where I talk about what's going on with mortality in the US

A wide-ranging discussion of what happened before the pandemic & what's happened since then; racial disparities and how to get our heads around their scope; why things might be going so badly for Millennials & Gen Zers
Prof. Elizabeth Wrigley-Field Discusses Excess Deaths
Because the US death rate has exceeded that of 21 other high income countries for over four decades, an estimated 14.7 million US lives have been lost since1980.

The econ PhD market will be difficult this year. The exact same thing happened when I went on the market years ago: I sent out 150 applications...and got 1 interview! Then I wrote a paper about it! ideas.repec.org/p/feb/natura...

Both sides of the market responded. Is this happening now too?

I regularly get folks interested in economics or public policy PhDs who are not able to be in-person full-time; where offers good economics (especially development econ.) and policy PhDs that are remote or part-time or only sporadically in person? #EconSky #PoliSky

"Achieving gender parity in STEM fields is an admirable goal. Yet...there’s been next-to-no effort to close the gender gap in so-called HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, & domestic work — where women are disproportionately represented."

Men aren't being encouraged to take caring jobs — and that's hurting everyone
Women are disproportionately represented in HEED jobs — healthcare, early education, and domestic work. Why aren't we pushing men to go into these fields?

Think of the economy as like baking a cake. H‑1B visas supply missing ingredients -- high skill STEM workers. If Trump cuts off access: fewer projects get baked, worse recipes get used, or we import the cake. None of those make Americans better off. #TheProfessorIsIn #TeachEcon

Totally agree with the diagnosis, not sure about the suggestion of the two track system. it might create weird selection and sorting.

Business leaders support the visas as a way to bring talent to the U.S., while others say the program allows companies to hire foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay Americans.

The White House has withdrawn its nomination of a woefully unqualified partisan hack — EJ Antoni — to be BLS Commissioner, and sometimes the system actually works.
