I was going to write a long post this week but time got short, so I went looking for new papers to skim through, put a few in my reading list, and then share one here. But Bluesky is bereft of new papers and Twitter isn’t even 3% of what it used to be. NBER working papers? Of course, but I’d desperately love to not have to resort to sharing the same working paper series that everyone else depends on and I don’t get to be a part of. Which is petty, yes, but it would nonetheless be great to tap other veins. I haven’t really figured out how to properly channel the SSRN digests that can feel at times like an entirely uncurate deluge. At the moment too much of my research diet is based in my personal network.
Are there accounts on bluesky I should be following? Or a particularly good SSRN digest? Or a substack I should be subscribing to? Or a Cuban coffee shop where cool social scientists hang out and share dope new papers?
Hit me up.

Some thoughts: 1) If you get asked to referee for journals, then you are probably reading some papers that way. 2) Maybe economists should read a little more New York Times news on the margin, instead of hearing only from economists. 3) When I go to Google Scholar, it has a kind of recommendation engine that I see first thing, so I wonder what you would think of it.

I feel like I already have too much to read just between refereeing and doing lit reviews for my papers, so I’m never seeking out more. But I do subscribe to the SSRN and NBER health economics digests and the Philly Fed’s Consumer Finance Institute papers. Plus physical copies of Southern Economic Journal. Feel like I still see a reasonable amount on Twitter, in addition to people talking up their own papers there are some like John Holbein and Nicholas Decker who discuss a lot of other people’s papers
