Excited to share my JMP!

Do academic fields of study causally influence students' political preferences? Through what mechanisms? And what are the broader civic implications?

๐Ÿ‘‡ #EconJobMarket #EconTwitter

Joint with @matankoler (PhD @HebrewU, now postdoc @MITEcon) Image We use very rich panel surveys of ~300K students from ~500 US colleges (HERI). Students report ideology (+ policy positions & political behaviors) pre-college & at graduation. On average, from pre- to post-college, they shift left. But how much do fields matter? Image
