📈Job market paper time📉
I’m excited to finally share my job market paper! My JMP studies whether and why policy choices are stubbornly persistent.
For example, Oregon has an income tax, but Washington doesn’t—seemingly because of nearly century-old choices. Is this typical?

(1/4) New research in @JaereAere estimates the environmental benefits of U.S. rooftop solar capacity.
By county, benefits created != benefits received, because of:
🔹 Interconnected nature of the grid
🔹 Dispersion of local pollutants from power plants

This all brings me back to my earlier post. Life is short - enjoy your good days. Hug your family. Don't waste time on things that don't interest you. Love each other. Forgive each other. Find balance in your life and maintain it.

Even with the rapid pace of change in social attitudes the SCOTUS decision from yesterday is an enormous deal and I’m super happy for a move toward equality for LGBTQ+ individuals.
