(1) banger (2) i wish non-economists would realise just how much time each economics paper takes to write (because of our norms about how thorough each paper has to be)

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving." Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

🎉 Teaching Milestone 🎉 This semester, I’m teaching my 10,000th student in Econ 101 (Micro 1). Over the past 8 years, it’s been a lot of fun and a privilege to teach the fundamentals of economics - scarcity, demand and supply, opportunity costs, game theory and externalities.
