Apparently it’s so long we decided to not use pagination in the Appendix!

One way to deal with paper length is to make length harder to measure @davidautor

Very excited that it looks like I'll be visiting @MITEcon in Spring 2020 again. I'll be co-teaching graduate labor econ course w/ @davidautor which is also loads of fun. For my part I'll be gathering up new work focusing on imperfect competition in labor mkt among other things.

The classic staggered DiD event study paper is @davidautor 2003 JoLE.

How did it stand the test of time and negative weighting?

Very well, as it turns out. https://https://jrgcmu.github.io/2sdd2.pdf

A tight labor market (for whatever reason) that goes for a sufficiently long time can affect pay setting norms & wage standards.

A continuation of strong demand can propel us into a new equilibrium, like @davidautor posits in his recent...

If you missed this piece by @davidautor that came out around Labor Day, I invite you to read it now.

I think has deep insights about what's still happening now in the labor market here in America.

Very nice talk by
@davidautor
today at a panel in Berlin, where he talked about the potential role of AI to augment capabilities workers without college degrees, opposite of automation.

An optimistic reading on future of inequality that I tend to share.

An update to work with @davidautor & @AnnieMcGrew1.
