I am delighted to share that I am joining the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy @sppgatech as an Assistant Professor next January!
This was a serendipitous opportunity and I am so thankful it did not pass me by.
Looking forward to starting a new chapter in Atlanta!

Tyler Cowen says that “ Messy jobs will be pretty well-protected from AI competition, and in fact, AI will enhance their productivity”. This is your sign to make your job more messy through complicated financial engineering or by locating your office inside your garage and practicing blacksmithing on the side.

Great to be featured in @bencasselman 's excellent NYT article on the economics of AI.
Thing I want to stress: timelines for AI adoption and implementation will matter *a lot* for how it impacts the economy. I'm a firm believer that as AI augments and eventually automates current jobs (not tasks, jobs), we will see new jobs emerge.
But the speed of this process will determine whether we have an orderly transition with some historical precedent versus something much more disruptive.
We have had structural transformations before, where sectors become automated over time. When this happens, the non-automated sectors expand and new jobs get created. You can see this in the relationship between agriculture (automated) vs. services (non-automated) below. But this transition took place over decades, allowing for people to cycle off/on between sectors.
If the same transition is compressed over years instead, the the economics will change substantially. We will need much more scope for public policy to manage it.

Did you know that @Arnold_Ventures has a standing RFP for causal research proposals related to crime and the criminal justice system? Send us your ideas! We aim to get you an answer fast (within 3 months).
All we need from you is a 3-page LOI that describes the intervention you're testing and the research design you're using.
