I'm on the Job Market this year, happy to talk!
JMP thread coming soon 🔔

Hello X - I'm on the job market!
📄Can sex education affect women's economic outcomes?
@maddagrignani (@UPFBarcelona and BSE) finds that contraception-focused education, rather than abstinence-based approaches, boosts women's earnings and college completion, delays family formation, and shifts gender attitudes.

Excited to share our paper with @ojblanchard1 and @GonHuertas on sovereign debt and multiple equilibria!
teapawt.net/GonHuertas/status/2107…
When public debt grows, default risk can jump suddenly.
Our new paper with @ojblanchard1 and @pmbruera finds that higher fiscal uncertainty reduces (!) the range of debt levels where self-fulfilling defaults can happen.
It's been years in the making.

🚨¡Nuevo documento de trabajo!🚨
con Lorenzo Aldeco
En México, choques locales de demanda de trabajo aumentan más empleo que salarios: sin agricultura, un aumento de 1% en empleo masculino (femenino) eleva salarios en 0.36% (0.09%).

My impression from using claude code semi-intensively for a while is that there is no way to have output that's not garbage (sometimes in ways that are not immediately obvious) without good instructions and paying attention to what it's doing. Very much complementary to labor.

A few hours ago, INEGI, the Mexican National Institute of Statistics and Geography, a government agency, published its Encuesta Intercensal (EIC) 2025 (intercensal survey 2025).
Here is the press release:
inegi.org.mx/app/saladeprens…
Page 9 reports the total fertility rate (TFR). INEGI estimates Mexico’s TFR for 2024 at 1.2 (screenshot in Spanish below). Yes, 1.2, only slightly above Japan’s level in the same year (1.15). By 2026, Mexico’s TFR could fall below Japan’s.
I don’t find words to describe this.
