What distinguishes the 1% from the merely affluent? How about having a third child.
New post on a topic I've long been fascinated by (the economics and financing of having a third kid) where I finally felt bold enough to go into the latest SCF microdata to get a good answer. /1

New in @AEA_Journals' American Economic Review: migration doesn't hollow out the home economy — it builds it up.
More than 75% of the long-run income gains from migration are domestic. The home economy itself grows.
Here's what we found: 🧵

Infant on lap? Don’t fly @Allegiant ! If you don’t have the infant’s birth certificate at the check in desk, they make you buy a whole new seat for your baby.

@LindseyKNovak and I are hosting it in August in Portland this year- waterfalls and breweries may be on the agenda.
Come talk RCTs and DID estimators with us for a couple days, and bring your family to experience the joy of Oregon in August!
Hi #econtwitter
Has anyone applied to IRB to conduct a follow-up study by contacting former participants in an older (closed IRB) study? Even better if it was in developing country. I'd love to hear from you!

Sigh. Can your student be an influencer that all the @lewisandclark students follow? It seems that, despite my best efforts, we still get the “intro to capitalism” reputation instead of “intro to economics”

You can hear me on @NPR Up First and Morning Edition today talking about why mass deportations don’t lead to more jobs for US born workers *and* will likely increase prices on things like groceries.

A thought on why inflation didn't feel like a "big deal" to rich people:
