Emily Oster is an economist, professor, and author. Her new book is\xa0The Family Firm.\n\u201d[COVID] has been 18 months of being a person who is slightly more public, who is saying things that are somewhat more controversial, where people yell at me a lot. ... I do much less reading of the comments than I did early on because I found that eventually I just got mad and that's not a productive way to interact. And it affects how I think about what I write, and I would like what I write to be the things that I think are true, not the things I think will avoid people being angry.\u201d\n\nShow notes:\n\n@ProfEmilyOster\n\nemilyoster.net\n\n\n"Steve Cohen-Backed Radkl Hires DeFi Trader Aaron Lammer"\xa0(Nick Baker \u2022 Bloomberg \u2022 Nov 2021)\n\n\nExpecting Better\xa0(Penguin Books \u2022 2014)\n\n\nCribsheet\xa0(Penguin Books \u2022 2020)\n\n\nThe Family Firm\xa0(Penguin Books \u2022 2021)\n\nOster\u2019s\xa0Parent Data\xa0newsletter\n\n35:00\xa0"Antibiotics and Allergies, Zika, Travel Baby Carriers..."\xa0(Parent Data \u2022 Feb 2020)\n\n36:00\xa0"Grandparents & Day Care"\xa0(Parent Data \u2022 May 2020)\n\n36:00\xa0"She Fought to Reopen Schools, Becoming a Hero and a Villain"\xa0(Dana Goldstein \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Jun 2021)\n\n36:00\xa0"Emily Oster, the Brown Economist, Is Launching a New Data Hub on Schools and the Pandemi."\xa0(Dana Goldstein \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Sept 2021)\n\n36:00\xa0"Schools Aren\u2019t Super-Spreaders"\xa0(The Atlantic \u2022 Oct 2020)\n\n37:00\xa0"Your Unvaccinated Kid Is Like a Vaccinated Grandma"\xa0(The Atlantic \u2022 Mar 2021)\n\n42:00\xa0Oster\u2019s COVID-19 School Response Dashboard\n\n\n44:00\xa0"Emily Oster Thinks of Herself As an Expert on Data in Parenting, Not Parenting Itself"\xa0(Alex Hazlett \u2022 The Cut \u2022 Aug 2021)\n\n45:00\xa0"Pandemic Schooling Mode and Student Test Scores: Evidence from US States"\xa0(Clare Halloran, Rebecca Jack, James Okun, Emily Oster \u2022 NBER \u2022 Nov 2021)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
