- Really thoughtful cross-national qualitative work by @elenaah.bsky.social that highlights how different policy contexts (re: employment, housing, poverty alleviation) translate into different lived experiences for young people experiencing insecurity.
- Reposted by Angela LiNew in @socprobsjournal.bsky.social w/ @estelabdiaz.bsky.social: the rapid growth of the admissions consulting industry has raised questions about inequality, privilege, and merit. We combine two original data sources to ask how consultants make sense of their work. academic.oup.com/socpro/advan...

- Reposted by Angela LiThanks for your causal inference readings suggestions! Next Q: what's a paper that (mostly) convinced you of causal relationships *without* an exogenous shock? My students seek examples of good work when using an IV or RD or something isn't an option. (Again, I appreciate RTs to crowd source.)

- If you are like me, you sometimes table big research projects to work on more urgent things. 📝 Here is a guide for coming BACK to big research projects (in empirical social science) after some time off. Wrote this note for myself after doing this one too many times: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

- 👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse. 👩🏻💻 Lots of massive data wrangling and careful assumptions about mobility data needed - but check it out here! doi.org/10.1177/0042...

- Reposted by Angela Li🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]
- Reposted by Angela LiWhat are Americans’ perceptions of immigrants’ politics? How do beliefs about whether newcomers are future allies or adversaries shape immigration attitudes? A new #AJS article shows that perceived partisan (mis)alignment powerfully informs US public opinion on immigration.

- Reposted by Angela LiThe WWII GI Bill made millions of veterans homeowners, but it also increased Black-White gaps in homeownership and wealth. Results demonstrate how historic policies not only exacerbated past inequalities but also how these inequalities have persisted and intensified into the present.

- Reposted by Angela LiThis paper from @tomlyttelton.bsky.social and @natewilmers.bsky.social is amazing. It shows that removing educational requirements can have big impacts for workers...except that employers don't really hire those workers below the normal education level anyway.
