Dear Mixtape with Scott listeners,We are pleased to announce the release of our latest podcast episode, featuring an insightful conversation with Jon Roth, an exceptionally talented young econometrician from Brown University. With only three years since graduating, Jon has already made significant contributions to the field of econometrics, publishing high-profile papers on difference-in-differences in esteemed outlets such as Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, and AER: Insights. Moreover, he has authored a timely literature review on differential timing and has an R&R at JPE: Micro on staggered rollout. In short, he has hit the ground running with many papers that no doubt will be finding their way into all of our papers soon, if they haven’t already.In this episode, Jon shares his journey, from growing up in Massachusetts to discovering his passion for economics. He speaks candidly about how his father's accomplishments as a theoretical physicist led him to believe that his potential might lie more in applied labor economics. However, through a series of events, Jon found himself drawn to econometrics, ultimately excelling in the field.We also discussed Jon's love of sports, his transition from solving problem sets to producing research, and his experience navigating the job market over three years, as he honed his professional identity.As a special opportunity for our listeners, Jon Roth will be teaching an exclusive workshop on the Mixtape Sessions platform on Friday, April 21st, starting at 9 am EST. Don't miss the chance to learn from one of the brightest minds in the field, as he covers much of his own work and more.Join me, your host Scott Cunningham, as we dive into the life and work of Jon Roth in this engaging episode of Mixtape with Scott.
