Excited to see my paper with Jenny Wang featured in @faznet!
Fun to be deep in field work, forgetting about anything but the current project...and then waking up to an email from my parents with this link.

Truly grateful for the incredible support from the
@ubscenter and @econ_uzh on this academic journey!
In 2022, outstanding young talent @SchubertLexi was selected from several hundred applicants to the Zurich Graduate School of Economics (ZGSE) as an @ubscenter Scholarship holder. Now, she successfully defended her PhD thesis 'Essays on Behavioral and Physiological Constraints in Economic Decision-Making'. Congratulations, Dr. Schubert!

Lexi's thesis explores why online workers in South Africa underutilize breaks despite productivity gains, whether access to chronic pain medication influences economic behavior in rural Uganda, and how tax-deferred or tax-prepaid retirement accounts affect savings behavior in a lab experiment in the US.
She will join @wesleyan_u as an Assistant Professor of Economics after a post-doc at @CEGA_UC at @UCBerkeley.

I am very pleased to share this announcement of our new center at MIT. @davidautor, @baselinescene and I are grateful to the Stone Foundation for their generous support enabling us to study two defining challenges of our age: inequality and the future of work.
📣 We will soon become the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work!
Starting in July, we will usher in a significant new era of research, policy, and education, made possible by a gift from the Stone Foundation.

How do people learn about their ability to learn? In my JMP, I show they struggle. Past learning experiences could help predict future learning and guide better skill investments. But do people use this information effectively?

🚨 Job Market Paper Alert 🚨
Public debt levels and interest rates have been rising, raising concerns about debt sustainability. In my JMP, I consider an overlooked component of public debt and its role in stabilising government debt: domestic arrears.
And I was incredibly lucky that I had @LuedtkeAllison as a role model!

Do u work too hard ? Of course u do! But can people work so much that they reduce their earnings because of exhaustion? JM
Candidate Lexi Schubert says yes. Check out her jmp!
#JMP Alert #EconTwitter
Restful activities can boost productivity, allowing you to earn more by working less. But do people get this trade-off right? In my JMP, we show they don’t.
