When I had to decide which job to take, I asked Jonathan why he picked Penn State. He said:

From convergence to divergence: until 1980 both high and low skill wages were converging across the US, since 1980 high skill wages have started to diverge with leading metros pulling away.

it could also be the case that the quality of the fish that goes to the top cities is better (I had sushi where the fish flew directly from Tokyo the same day in NYC but I never found something like that in Chicago).
A thought for those of you heading off to start grad school: You may feel the need to posture in front of your new colleagues to show how awesome you already are. Get over that impulse and find people with whom you can share feelings of how lost and overwhelmed you all will be.

Universities are currently deciding how to more safely conduct in-person classes this fall. My new working paper with Paul Niekamp shows the extent to which travel (i.e. Spring Break) by students contributed to local COVID-19 spread.

You show already know that most people will only read the abstract and intro. So these need to be polished & self-contained. You will need to rewrite them every day for months.
But how to make them perfect?
