Kate Musen (@khmusen) has a super impressive portfolio of work on investing in vulnerable children--her JMP examines the effect of extended foster care. Be sure to check it out at katemusen.com!
Hannah's JMP shows that, when the minimum wage increases, schedule unpredictability goes up too. Perhaps not surprising (but hard to show)--as the wage goes up, workers pay in other ways. She has a number of very cool and important papers! hannahfarkas.github.io
Excited to see my JMP cited in the Economist—it highlights the tradeoffs workers could face with a higher minimum wage and suggests more worker protections like Fair Workweek laws could be important alongside minimum wage increasesView quoted post on X
