Not quite as funny as the University of Alabama betting scandal getting found out by a guy going into a sports book and being like "no no I have insider information" but I am not surprised that this got revealed because the NBA actually tries to keep an eye on gambling behavior re: players/coaches.

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.

Event study coefficients that show that men's earnings rise more than women's among couples following a cross-commuting zone move (left panels). The pattern is muted or reverses among single men and single women (right panels).

Our new paper shows that men benefit from couples' long-distance joint moves more than women do, in both Germany and Sweden. Is this just b/c men are usually the main breadwinner? No, it's hard to explain the patterns we see w/o a gender norm prioritizing men's careers. www.nber.org/papers/w32970

Moving to Opportunity, Together Many couples face a trade-off between advancing one spouse’s career or the other’s. We study this trade-off using administrative data from Germany and Sweden. We first conduct an event-study analysis of couples moving across commuting zones and find that relocation increases men’s earnings more than women’s, with strikingly similar patterns in Germany and Sweden. Using a sample of mass layoff events, we then find that couples in both countries are more likely to relocate in response to the man being laid off compared to the woman. We investigate whether these gendered patterns reflect men’s higher potential earnings or a gender norm that prioritizes men’s career advancement. We provide suggestive evidence of a gender norm using variation in norms within Germany. We then develop and estimate a model of household decision-making in which households can place more weight on the income earned by the man compared to the woman.

Quick look at the Uptown-Edgewater July Red Line station ridership. Lawrence and Berwyn returned to service on 07/20 while Argyle and Bryn Mawr moved into their new stations.

Oh, you have criticisms of my paper? Surely you noticed the part of the paper where we already rebutted your critique, by writing “Possible criticisms: the methodology of this paper is bad. We are aware of this.”

Kind of funny that the gap between LCD Soundsystem's breakup and "American Dream" was longer than the gap between "American Dream" and now.

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out www.gavi.org/vaccineswork... "Before vaccination, the prevalence of HPV was between 15 & 17%, which has decreased in vaccinated women to less than one percent by 2021." #VaccinesWork

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material. Administrators caving to this is terrifying.

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Are you interested in Bayesian Optimization? Do you think multi-arm bandits are cool? Do you like donating to good causes? We'll, I'm super excited to say I'll be hosting a charity workshop on Bayesian Optimization with Multi-Arm Bandits on October 23rd. sites.google.com/view/dariia-...
