I’m an Econ AP at Brown: www.jessebruhn.com My long term research agenda involves saying yes to everything and then repeatedly disappointing everyone who thought I’d make a good coauthor.

Truly grateful for all the thoughtful emails / texts I've received from so many of you over the last 24 hours. When the world is dark and sad, love is the light keeps us going. Thank you for sending so much of it my way.

Excited to share a new @annenberginstitute.bsky.social working paper, co-authored w/ Rebecca Jacobsen. We’ve been exploring what happens when national partisan politics reach one of the most local arenas of American democracy—school board elections? edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1360

The Influence of Partisanship in Local School Board Elections: Evidence from Exit Polling in Michigan & Rhode Island

Education in the U.S. has long been shaped by local school boards elected in nonpartisan contests, a structure intended to shield schools from broader political forces. Today, many states are consider...

Hey #econsky! I'm organizing a workshop at Brown this Spring in partnership with Eric Nielsen and Viviana Rodriguez. The topic is educational measurement. Please submit a paper/extended abstract! We'd love to consider your work. And please help us spread the word to folks who aren't on bluesky!

It seems pretty funny to allow the WSJ to cover a paper and then when it’s revealed to be fraudulent start crying about how it wasn’t even peer reviewed and the system worked etc. Why did our discipline tell the WSJ it was credible if it wasn’t peer reviewed then ?

"People who like to sound tough reflexively back the guys with guns over the guys in jeans with sacks of grain or the guys in suits with papers. But take it from someone who spent nearly 1,500 days downrange over the course of 20 years: USAID is worth every penny." www.thebulwark.com/p/usaid-kept...

If the president / secretary of defense really believe that eliminating DEI efforts will make things more "merit" based then they should probably eliminate the explicit veteran preferences in federal hiring too. The fact that they aren't tells you everything you need to know...

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

TRUMP'S DANGEROUS FREEZE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL HIRING Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions. "The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public." "Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our

This is highly relevant today. While we can debate the merits of specific 'DEI' policies—some may indeed be misguided—it’s undeniable that racial discrimination persists in this country. The evidence is clear for those willing to engage with it! bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/cea/written-...
