- 🚨🆕 In a new NBER working paper out today (tinyurl.com/2vv3vnhf), with @wsandholtz.bsky.social we ask a 🔥question: Can controversial public policies end up being political successes even when they cause lots of backlash? And if the answer is yes, what drives pol success? A thread 👇
- Watching history happen. The longest filibuster ever was 24h 18m long.
- Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

- The news over the weekend and this morning have been terrifying. I'm dismayed at the total lack of action but I also have no idea how to act. I can't believe I'm watching America as I know it collapse in front of my eyes.

- Reposted by Barbara BiasiDevastating news at IZA yesterday. More than 25 years of hard work, earned reputation, and valuable institutional knowledge and public good provision wiped out with a single stroke. It’s hard to find the words.
- Silly me for thinking "well at least there's Europe"... This is so sad.
- It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.
- *Impressive* piece of work showing differences in intergenerational mobility of immigrants across countries. Finding that resonated the most w/me is importance of access to citizenship - which is still unreasonably hard in many countries, esp. my home country of Italy.
- 1/ 🚨 New paper! 🚨 How do the economic trajectories of children of immigrants vary across 15 high-income countries? We study intergenerational mobility of immigrants, using individual-level linked parent-child data across Europe, North America, and beyond. 🧵👇 #EconSky

- Useful (although sobering) summary of NAEP scores by @cedr.bsky.social. tl;dr: there is nothing to be happy about and tons of work to do. It's chilling to think of the harm cuts to essential K-12 federal programs may do if this is where we are today.
- Me after this week: man, I am in terrible need of a good news NCES: here are the 2024 NAEP scores

- We had a fantastic time in Chile! 🇨🇱 Thank you @jrodriguezo.bsky.social and everyone else at UAndes and @uchile.bsky.social for hosting us!
- I was liking it here but @bsky.app ignoring multiple reports about an acct mpersonating me, using my photo/info/etc to scam people w/fin advice is not really making me want to stay. There seems to be 0 control for this kind of (inevitable) things. Looks like garbage will inevitably flood the place
- Looks like someone is impersonating me on here and sending random messages to people. The account they’re using is barbara.biasi0 please report it if you can. Thanks and sorry to whoever was harassed!
