I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining @RiceEcon as an assistant professor of economics starting the 23-24 academic year! Words cannot express how grateful I am to my advisors, family and friends for their immense support.
If you are at San Francisco attending #ASSA2025, join our session on the last day of the meeting, where I'll present together with the great group @Shaoshuang_YANG @PSchnattinger and Wenting Song!
Thanks to all the speakers for coming and giving the great presentations! It was an amazing experience organizing a conference. Thanks @RiceEcon for the opportunity, and thanks @ZBethune for walking me through every step of it!
We are excited to host the Rice Conference on Firms, Productivity and Growth today and tomorrow.
Keynote talks by @PeteKlenow and Hugo Hopenhayn, presentations by @BPellegrino_CBS, @ChrisTonetti, @dargente05, Huiyu Li, Paco Buera, @SShenEcon, @PorzioTommaso, @YueyuanM

Ok, #EconTwitter, what are the standard interview questions/prompts all JMCs should be ready for? I'll start:
1.) Tell us about you.
2.) Tell us about your JMP.
3.) Tell us about your research.
Thank you, @jenniferdoleac, for including my paper on this amazing list! I am a JMC from UCLA. I am a macroeconomist working on the impact of technological change on productivity growth and inequality.

Thank you @XinchengQiu for organizing the reading group! It was great experience to present here, and thank you for all the discussions and feedback.
The second talk by @ShihanShen1 on her JMP "Customer Acquisition, Rising Concentration and Productivity Growth Slowdown". She studies the impact of lower marketing costs on concentration and productivity growth, in an endogenous growth model with product market search frictions.
A warm-up for the job market. Thanks for doing this!
It's almost time for my annual "women on the econ job market thread"(!!). A few tips for (all) JMCs who want their work elevated on this bird site:
(1) Have your own website! Here is a guide to building a good one: kevinhayeswilson.com/website…

This is great 👍 stuff
Recruiting season for econ+finance PhDs has begun. You should have a website, but not just any website. Here are some slides that I made for my students -- dropbox.com/s/ztu32remz1hi29… -- that job market candidates may find useful. What follows is a thread summary. #econtwitter. 1/N
