Haha when I applied for Ph.D., I actually only got one offer (UCLA). There were a few waitlisted schools but didnโt manage to convert to offers in time. I am so glad I accepted UCLA โ๏ธ๐
Iโm all for โacademic rejectionโ transparency. But if you got rejected from just Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley, but got into Princeton and Michigan, as though you really overcame some shit, maybe just keep that to yourself.
Thanks for including my paper with Xitong! And thanks for all the excellent organizing and feedbacks!! This is super valuable for our paper moving forward โบ๏ธ

@Ben_Moll
just gave thought-provoking keynote. Other topics include, convenience yield, exorbitant privilege, new deep-learning/neural network methods, ....
It's heartwarming to see that there're more female candidates working on topics of international finance! ๐ There're few female JMCs in economics, but much much fewer working on macro/international finance ๐ซค Genuinely hope the dynamics can be improved in the future.
Today I unexpectedly received a FedEx package for an online order I placed in 2022 that was lost in transit ๐๐ wow! Seems that the package has been traveling internationally for almost two years before it finally reached me๐ I want to hear all its stories.
So excited for this workshop and the opportunity to present at the World Bank on Friday! I heard ~200 registered?! Wow! ๐ Thrilled to see that international finance getting so popular ๐ Thanks again to the amazing

I still cannot believe this sad newsโฆ ๐I got to know Powell cat only a couple weeks ago and have come to say hi to him almost every day since then. He was a happy and healthy kitty ๐ข May he rest in peace ๐๐๐

The IMIM seminar is a wonderful platform in international finance/macro and has weekly sessions that invite both junior and senior scholars to present their work. I recently presented my JMP in this seminar and received one of the best discussions I've ever had!๐
It's almost time for my annual "women on the econ job market thread"(!!). A few tips for (all) JMCs who want their work elevated on this bird site:
(1) Have your own website! Here is a guide to building a good one:

Please retweet and take a look at Stepanโs excellent and interesting papers! โบ๏ธHis paper on consumer reviews and pricing is so relevant to our daily life and speaks to everyone including macro-finance people like me ๐
My good friend/coauthor Stepan Aleksenko is on the market this year! He is an excellent theorist and one of the smartest people I know. Since the start of grad school we have written two papers together, and I have learned so much from him. Check him out:
Thanks to
@AtlantaFed

@PrincetonBCF
for organizing this very topical conference! Our paper in this shows that Black/Hispanic borrowers are much less likely to refi their mortgages, with significant implications for inequality, pricing, and the distributional impact of QE.

I read great applied JMPs on interesting & timely topics.
Here's some writing advice from better scholars/writers than me. Advice I still struggle to follow.
Once you have a draft, you've done the hard work: data collection & careful analysis.

An econ student wrote me today: "....a couple of years ago I read your advice for lost graduate students - and oddly it inspired me to try applying to graduate schools. Reread it again today (with my mom, who also enjoyed it a lot!)." So here it is again:
