Just another largely unknown and absolutely unimportant economics professor, but thankfully, @ESB Business School, Germany, pays me quite generously.😉 team #TeachEcon 🏊‍♀️🍰👩‍🍳🎨 Dyslexic, so if you find no typos, credit goes to an LLM.

🚨🚨🚨 Hello, friends! I'm a labor and education economist and, after years of posting, I'm on the academic job market! In my JMP, I ask: why are there so few Black teachers today? Turns out we can trace it back to how schools desegregated in the 1960s/70s. Join me for a little thread adventure! 🧵

Title page of the job market paper "Losing Recipes: Black Teacher Displacement and the Long Shadow of Desegregation" by Lavar Edmonds, Stanford University. Abstract: Between the 1960s and early 1980s, thousands of Black teachers were displaced as school districts desegregated and Black schools closed. Did displacement then shape who teaches now? Using a new database of desegregation-era school closings and district records of teacher employment by race, I use a stacked difference-in-differences design that compares districts that came under court orders with comparable districts that did not. After an order, Black schools were 10 percentage points more likely than White schools in the same district to close. Districts that closed more Black schools lost more Black teachers, and court-ordered districts hired a smaller share of Black teachers afterward. Four decades later, the Black share of teachers in court-ordered counties is about 30% lower than it would have been without an order, and early-career, college-educated Black women in these counties rank 8 to 11 percentiles lower in their state's earnings distribution. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) granted fewer teacher education degrees for decades after a local order, and districts that closed more Black schools still employ fewer Black principals, who hire Black teachers. The pattern is consistent with hysteresis: a temporary demand shock lowered the supply of Black teachers for decades by disrupting the institutions that trained and hired them.

I'm requiring students in my quantitative research design course to submit replication packages so I'm spending my Saturday night configuring my R environment for 15 different student projects and you know what? It's worth it. I would/will do it again.

Mein Brillenuniversum ist überschaubar. Meine Stärke in eine Fassung zu zwängen, ist offenbar die Königsdisziplin der Optikindustrie. Mein Optiker hat eigens bei Spezialherstellern bestellt. Nun habe ich die Wahl: meine alte Fassung oder eine neue. Ganze 2! Da soll man noch den Überblick behalten.

A paper from a few years ago made it onto tyler cowens marginalrevolution links (covered by Nicholas Decker). We tried to separate the human capital and signaling value of education. Since I am not on X anymore, I did not see this but was pointed to it by a colleague. x.com/captgouda24/...

Some of the return to education is due to people accumulating skills, while some is due to signaling the skills you have. But how much can we attribute to each? This paper has a clever approach that, ...

It is good to see that Harvard took action against a fraudster in the ranks (and invested the substantial resources necessary to win this trial). Sad to see that Duke continues not to care about the same problems at their university.

Gino lost! A federal judge granted Harvard summary judgment on all of Francesca Gino's claims (contract, sex discrimination, retaliation). Harvard's defamation counterclaim and sanctions motion are still pending, so she could lose even more. www.courtlistener.com/docket/67659...
