I’m going to be really interested to see what the distribution of papers from economists vs sociologists is going to be for this journal. Is there any journal out there right now that has anywhere close to an even mix between the two?

Ran a marathon on Sunday. If you see me at #PAA2026 this week, and I appear to be moving slowly, this is what's up.
Thinking about submitting some inequality-related research to ASA, but not sure what session it should go in? Or feel like it doesn't fit any of the session topics? Perfect! I’m organizing the Open Call session for @asa-ipm.bsky.social. Deadline: Feb 25.
(Now back to working on my ASA paper...)

Good morning from Colorado in May.
Looking forward to talking tomorrow at UPenn and sharing some new work I’m really excited about!

The idea that internal validity comes first and external validity comes after is a misconception—particularly in economics. In reality, research design involves a trade-off between the two, and the goal is to choose an optimal point on the validity frontier. www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
How are coding agents changing how we study the economy, society and politics?
New results from a baseline survey with @tomlyttelton.bsky.social and Maxim Massenkoff, about who is using AI coding agents and what they're doing with them.
