I've seen some arguments on #EconTwitter that EJMR exists b/c (amongst other things), it gives people access to the "Hidden Curriculum", often not taught outside of top schools. So, in hopes of decreasing demand for EJMR, here are some other ways to access much of that same info:
"Doing Economics", by @marcfbellemare is full of tips on things like:
- communicating your research findings
- giving talks/seminars
- maximizing your chances of getting a good review
- finding funding
- writing referee reports

The podcast "The Hidden Curriculum" (by @dsebastiantello and @ajhollingsworth) is an absolute gem.
My favorite ep is actually the most recent, where they walk through how to think about an "elevator pitch", and constructively critique a few JMCs' examples.

The "Econ Grad Advice" website by @cp_roth and David Schlinder has all sorts of useful links, covering topics from PhD admissions, general grad school advice, mental health, writing, presentations, and more.

This is certainly not an exhaustive list, so please feel free to share other helpful resources!
Ugh, I forgot to add the "Thriving in Economics" book series, which is also excellent! (And has the added bonus of raising funds for Ukraine!)

There are 3 versions, one for:
-Aspiring PhD students
-PhD Students
- Assistant Professor and Beyond

🚨(~Bonus Thread~) on the new @CAPolicyLab report
As the economy continues to reopen, many have wondered:

Why are initial claims for #UI for still so much higher than before the pandemic?

Are workers really entering the UI system at ~2x the rate of pre-pandemic times?

🧵 —>
In order to understand what's going on, you need to understand that there are actually 2 types of initial claims for UI:

"New Initial Claims" and "Additional Claims".

Together, these two make up total initial claims. (Focusing just on Regular UI here, not PUA)
Initial Claims are claimants applying to establish a benefit year & begin receiving payments.

Additional Claims are claims that are reopened "after there has been a break in certification of one or more weeks during which the claimant worked"

(Read that definition carefully)

🚨New @CAPolicyLab UI Report🚨
(Me, @alexbellecon, @TillvonWachter, Roozbeh Moghadam & Geoff Schnorr)

For the first time, we are able to analyze the reemployment patterns of UI claimants during the pandemic.
Thread 1 of 2🧵 -->
capolicylab.org/wp-content/upl…
Of the 2 million UI Claimants in CA who were laid off in 2020q2 & experienced a "full separation" from their employers, (i.e., they weren't just working reduced hours), nearly 40% remained totally unemployed (registering $0 in earnings) for the rest of the year.
(Q3 and Q4 2020)
45% of UI claimants had been recalled to their prior employer by the end of the year.

Some groups were less likely than others to be recalled, including:
-Lower Educated workers (41%)
-Black workers (37%)
-Younger workers (Gen Z) (40%)

One year ago today, @CAPolicyLab's "UI Team" released its 1st Report.
We partnered with @CA_EDD to analyze CA's administrative data on UI claimants, focusing on the nature of the crisis & how it was affecting workers in near real-time.

Today, we review our 10 biggest takeaways:
1) As the crisis dragged on, Benefit extension programs such as PEUC and FED-ED (aka EB) have become increasingly important in supporting unemployed workers.

SEVENTY PERCENT of regular UI claimants receiving benefits in April 2021 were on an extension program.
2) The COVID-19 crisis hit the hospitality and food services sector hardest.
Through this mechanism (and others), it has disproportionately impacted less educated workers, workers of color, and women.

New UI Report from @CAPolicyLab
(Me, @TillvonWachter, @alexbellecon & Geoff Schnorr)

Since March, we've written 8 reports analyzing the UI system + trying to explain how many people are receiving UI benefits.

Now we ask a different question:
Who has the UI system left behind?
We want to know who is “missing out” on UI.
i.e., "Who is unemployed, but isn’t receiving UI benefits?"

It’s hard to judge the trade-offs between UI extensions and other forms of economic relief without being able to say something about this question.
To attempt to answer this question, we took a geographic approach:
We calculated the number of people receiving regular UI benefits in each neighborhood, and compare it to local estimates of unemployment.
(see techn. appendix for details)

New @CAPolicyLab Report:

Me, @TillvonWachter, @alexbellecon & Geoff Schnorr take a deep dive into the recent #UI claims data to shed some light on what’s actually happening in CA’s labor market.

capolicylab.org/publications/s…
Thread --> (1/13)
In late August, initial claims for PUA skyrocketed, while EDD expressed concerns of a surge in fraudulent PUA claims. There was also a slight increase in initial claims for regular UI.

BUT...

Prior to this, CA saw 5 consecutive weeks of a decrease in new initial claims. (2)
Coinciding with this surge in initial PUA claims was a change in the demographic profile of PUA claimants- Recent claimants are more likely to be male, white, and self-employed than earlier PUA claimants - whether or not this is driven by fraudulent claims isn’t totally clear (3)

New @CAPolicyLab Report:
Me, @TillvonWachter, @alexbellecon & Geoff Schnorr break down the rise in "Initial" Unemployment Insurance Claims (and much more)
--> (thread)
The recent growth in Initial Claims has largely been driven by an increasing number of additional claims —claims which are reopened after a claimant’s temporary return to work.
The number of truly *new* initial claimants has been flat since May — but at historically high levels
These "additional" claimants, who are experiencing *another* layoff, are different than new initial claimants.

We show that relative to the group of new claimants, additional claimants are more likely to be women, younger workers, and in Food Services
