No issue of JHR would be complete w/o a paper using crazy Scandinavian admin data, here it is from Norway showing multigenerational persistence in economic outcomes out to great-grandparents (beyond what is predicted by parental status) @modalsli

Recently passed a year of editing (well, slightly more at REHO) so wanted to share some #EconTwitter thoughts on what I've learned (take them with a grain of salt, as there are many more experienced editors out there!)
For authors: generally, cover letters can be extremely brief unless you are bringing something very specific to my attention. If the cover letter repeats what's in the intro, not necessary (I will look at the intro!)
For referees: please respond to requests (saying no is fine, a rapid no is better than a ghosting) Recs of other referees are a nice bonus. A short report that is on time or close to it is also very welcome (you don't have to wait until you have 2 whole pages written)

As I wrapped up another slew of referee reports this week (no worries, I actually love refereeing + learn a lot from it!) I thought it might be fun to do a little 🧵on my most common comments as a referee (and now, as an editor) - mainly for empirical papers
1: I'm on page 5 of the intro; what is this paper about? Take pity on us, your referees are people too. You should specifically explain what THIS paper is about + is doing by page two, at latest.
2: Here are other papers, how is this one different? Highlight the existing lit (thoroughly) +specifically note what your paper adds. Lots of debate over whether or not to do "this paper is the 1st", but you don't have to claim you're the first to note your contribution.
