Put simply, the dichotomy of rigor versus relevance is false. There is no inevitable trade-off between producing rigorous research and producing research with relevance for the real world. buff.ly/2IG1Cde

“Just 4% of doctoral degrees in economics were awarded to African-Americans in 2011 (compared with about 8% across all academic fields). Something is broken within the market for economists...” Is it beyond repair? economist.com/news/finance-a…

Alex Polikoff has been my hero and inspiration since I was in graduate school. Without him, we might never have discovered the power of housing policy. I owe him my life’s work, and I’m grateful for his never-wavering fight. Thanks @rmc031 !! citylab.com/equity/2018/04…


Excited to embark on this project with CCE and Rachel Dunifon! Thanks @wtgrantfdn! Grant to unite Cornell, partners in fight against opioids | Cornell Chronicle news.cornell.edu/stories/2018/0… via @AddThis
