This is a fascinating paper. It's the first (afaik) to actually document food&drink&retail scheduling unpredictability using actual firm data. It illustrates v clearly why unpredictable scheduling makes these jobs so difficult:

Check out Hannah awesome JMP on job schedule unpredictability and how minimum wage policy affects such unpredictability: hannahfarkas.github.io/files/The_Ec...

Check out Hannah’s awesome #EconJMP with really cool/unique data that allows for insights into an understudied but important aspect of labor markets.

Hannah Farkas@hannah-farkas.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I’m on the #EconJobMarket! I study labor, extreme weather adaptation, and inequality. My JMP addresses an under-studied aspect of the labor market: schedule unpredictability among hourly workers in the service sector. 🧵👇

Super cool #EconJMP by Hayeon on policy intensity and loopholes. Check out the paper and her other work at: sites.google.com/view/hayeonj...

Hayeon Jeong@hjeong88.bsky.social · 9mo ago

I'm happy to share my #JMP on the relationship between policy intensity and effectiveness! It challenges the idea that stricter policies are always more effective by showing that policy avoidance rises with stringency during the early period of implementation. 🧵👇 #Econsky #EconJobMarket #EconJMP

Excited to see this paper published! @kimberlyoremus.bsky.social & I find that US plastic bag policies *limit* (but not eliminate) plastic bag litter in the environment, using cool citizen science data from @oceanconservancy.org. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The bad news: Mountains of plastic are piling up in oceans, choking marine life. The good news: Plastic bag bans work, a new peer-reviewed study confirms. Just published in Science: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... by @annapappp.bsky.social & @kimberlyoremus.bsky.social

Excited that our new study was published today in Science. We found that plastic bag bans and fees reduce plastic bag litter on shorelines by 25-47% compared to places without them: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... w/ @annapappp.bsky.social

I'm so lucky to have been part of this incredible group and extremely thankful to have had @rmetcalfe.bsky.social's support and encouragement throughout the craziness that is the job market. Very excited for the next steps!

I can confirm this is an awesome gig during grad school - I loved being the AERE social media manager. It's a nice way to meet AERE leadership, read (abstracts) of JAERE papers, attend the annual conference, etc. Current students - feel free to reach out w/ questions if interested! #EconSky 📈📉

AERE@aereorg.bsky.social · last yr.

📣 Apply to be AERE's Social Media Manager! AERE is looking for a graduate student to manage our social media channels. Please spread the word to graduate students who may be interested! Apps due March 15th: https://bit.ly/AERE-social-media

Check out @floriangrosset.bsky.social discuss our paper on large-scale tree-planting and regional climate! 🌳

VoxEU @ CEPR@voxeu.org · 2y ago

Can planting trees change the climate? @floriangrosset.bsky.social (CREST-ENSAE Paris) joins @talknormal.co.uk to discuss what history tells us about large-scale tree-planting & its impact on climate & economy Listen to this Vox Talk recorded at the CEPR Paris Symp: cepr.org/multimedia/c... #EconSky

For those considering #veganuary, a little plug for a piece I wrote about veganism, one of the best things in my life, last Earth Day. (It's a comic - goes down easy!) www.vox.com/climate/2413...

I gave up meat and gained so much more

The delightful abundance of going vegan.

I'm on the job market! My #EconJMP examines climate adaptation inequality in labor markets (see ⬇️). This is part of my research on the effects of climate change/plastic pollution on workers & society - often with unique data & an interdisciplinary lens. Learn more: https://pappanna.github.io/

Thank you @jenniferdoleac.bsky.social for this amazing annual thread and @uaeeconomist.bsky.social for the repost! I'm excited to be on the market with so many women working on so many cool things! 🙌

I'm excited to be on the job market along with such awesome researchers (and friends)!
