      1. There are lots of lurkers hanging around on #econtwitter who read without posting much, and that’s TOTALLY FINE. But if you’re looking for a way to dip your toes further in the water, my top tip is to look for people ASKING QUESTIONS or LOOKING FOR ADVICE and to reply to them.

      Replies on are public, so a good reply is a public good. And not to sound too transactional, but I think public goods contributions are both the most broadly accessible and the highest social value way of earning attention on this optional website. ༺ 𝑓𝑖𝑛 ༻

    Actually, one more thing. The fact that you can “hack” #econtwitter this way is one of my favorite things about it. (Internalize positive externalities!) In an inversion of how academia usually works (status→attention), on here, things *also* work in the other direction. @lukestein/1216581780850929664

      (And if you want to see how this can work: From question to answers, flowing roughly from @mikemakowsky; through @jenniferdoleac, me, @leah_boustan, @EconZach, and @aaronsojourner; to actual research by @shom_mazumder and @EDerenoncourt) @mikemakowsky/1305165471214338049
