🚨📣 How much do Economics professors make?

Xinmei (Evelyn) Yang and I created an online tool that allows you to explore the distribution of salaries.

Check it out at:

More details below 👇

Image The tool uses data from 8 public universities (e.g., UC-Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan).

The tool allows you to filter by school, position (assistant/associate/full), department type (economics/business), and salary type (9-month vs. total compensation).

🚨 Tips for writing a POSITIVE referee report.

As an author and an editor, I’ve noticed some reviewers are better than others at writing a positive referee report. So, I decided to share 3 simple tips in the thread below. 👇

#EconTwitter Tip #1: Act fast!

If you love the paper, submit your report ASAP. Editors see their decisions as an optimal stopping problem. They invite more referees than they expect to need, and skim through the reports as they come in. So, the order in which reports are submitted matters.

I always wanted to create illustrations for my research papers, but I have no artistic skills whatsoever. Thanks to @OpenAI, that’s no longer a problem.

I had a blast creating with DALLE, and I encourage you to try it too.

My favorite creations below 👇

#EconTwitter The paper “What’s My Employee Worth?” (with @zoebcullen and @ShengwuLi) is about how employers figure out the right salaries for their employees.

I asked DALLE for “a weight with a businesswoman on the left plate and cash on the right plate.”

Thread about the publication process in Economics. It is inefficient. It probably made sense pre-Internet, but it is clearly antiquated by now.

It may not be the best solution, but I have a proposal. And I'm curious to hear other proposals from #EconTwitter (2/11)
Let's start with the problem: the typical paper gets published after being rejected by many journals. Authors start aiming higher than expected, and if it doesn't go through, eventually they start "going down" to less selective journals. This is incredibly inefficient.
