- I often work with young researchers who don't convert R&Rs to publications. I definitely don’t do everything well! But I put a lot of effort into this and have a 24/24 conversion rate. So I am passing along six tips based upon my experience as an author and editor. #Econtwitter
- My paper "Immigration and Violent Crime: Evidence from the Colombia-Venezuela Border" joint with @atribinu, is now forthcoming at the Journal of Development Economics. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- I often see young researchers wait too long to submit. This can be problematic, given long waits and high rejection rates at journals. But one can also submit too early. I provide some tips here , as an author and editor, on when to submit. #EconTwitter
- With my four PhD students: Luca, Aarushi, Mercedes, and Jacob!
