Hi Everyone, Dick Startz provided a great public good by putting together an AEA session that you might find helpful. Here is the summary: The American Economic Association will present a webinar at 3:00 pm EST on Friday, January 8, 2021 where a panel will present information intended to help faculty help their students place into PhD programs in economics. The webinar is cosponsored by the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP), the Committee on the Status of Minorities in the Economics Profession (CSMGEP), and the Committee on Economic Education (CEE) with an eye toward increasing and diversifying the pool of applicants. The webinar will begin with a panel presentation followed by questions from the audience. Panel members will be John List (University of Chicago), James Peoples (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Nancy Rose (MIT), Danila Serra (Texas A&M), and Dick Startz (University of California-Santa Barbara). I found the discussion wonderful, and I hope educational for all of you. I mention the session because I believe that it was taped but cannot seem to find that link just yet. Good luck this season! Best, JL
