Emily Oster Quotes

The main concern with a very large baby is difficulty in delivery Picture Quote #1

Nausea is a normal but unpleasant effect of pregnancy and a really good sign that it is going well. Women who experience nausea in early pregnancy are less likely to miscarry Picture Quote #1

Economics works great for planning your life when you don’t have a work passion, since we tend to assume that your job delivers only money and you trade off job hours with leisure hours. If you think your job will just be a job, pick one that pays well per hour and leaves you some time off, even if the activity of the job is boring Picture Quote #1

Even though it is the case that poverty is linked to AIDS, in the sense that Africa is poor and they have a lot of AIDS, it’s not necessarily the case that improving poverty - at least in the short run, that improving exports and improving development - it’s not necessarily the case that that’s going to lead to a decline in HIV prevalence Picture Quote #1

I had always been told that you shouldn’t clean the litter box when you’re pregnant, because of your cat. And I think that is overblown - unless you have, like, three kittens in your house that are living outside and eating raw meat, this shouldn’t really be a significant source of concern Picture Quote #1

To put it mildly, I’m not crazy about the implication that pregnant women are incapable of deciding for themselves Picture Quote #1

The biggest food-related risk in pregnancy is listeria. It’s a dangerous bacteria, to which pregnant women are especially susceptible, that can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth Picture Quote #1

I think that there’s a real sense in which pregnancy should be something that you do with your doctor, but I think that for a lot of women the time you have with your doctors is limited and it can be difficult to get all of the answers to your questions Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved doing research. I remember doing a research project on the Babylonian numeral system in the eighth grade and thinking, ‘This is pretty awesome - is this really a job you can have?’ This led me toward a career as an academic, although it took me until college to realise that economics was the right field Picture Quote #1

The key to good decision making is evaluating the available information - the data - and combining it with your own estimates of pluses and minuses. As an economist, I do this every day Picture Quote #1

I think women - relative to men - tend to feel that they have to do the household chores on top of everything else. This becomes even worse once you have kids. It’s enough to have a full time job; a full time job plus a family is even more Picture Quote #1

If you asked me which gives me more joy, my work or my family, there is no question that it’s my family. Hands down. If I had to give one up, it wouldn’t even be a contest Picture Quote #1

The enjoyment of work - to the extent that you have any - is likely highest in the first hours of the day when you are fresh, not tired, working on the most important things Picture Quote #1

My first summer in college I worked in a fruit fly lab where I had two jobs: dissect the fruit fly larvae brains and incinerate the old tubes of flies Picture Quote #1

Lovingly crafted and super-creative cupcakes are not exactly on tap in my household after a full day at work, and I do not blame my mother for a second that they were not on tap in hers, either Picture Quote #1

How much is an hour of your time worth? It’s worth whatever wage you would get if you spent that hour working. If you work for an hourly rate, this is an easy calculation. Even if you work for a salary and a fixed number of hours, the principle is the same: It’s whatever your salary works out to per hour Picture Quote #1

If everyone is good at something different, assigning chores is easy. If your partner is great at grocery shopping and you are great at the laundry, you’re set. But this isn’t always - or even usually - the case Picture Quote #1

The basic idea that incentives can be used to motivate behavior is a powerful one. It works for employees, and it has a clear place in parenting, as anyone who has tried to potty-train a recalcitrant toddler with sticker rewards knows Picture Quote #1

All’s fair in love and purchasing Picture Quote #1

Talking to women about birth can be polarizing Picture Quote #1

In short, humans are programmed to get bored Picture Quote #1

There is some risk to increase birth defects if you do a lot of outdoor gardening when you are pregnant. That can increase rates of toxoplasmosis Picture Quote #1

I think we’ve moved to thinking of parenting and pregnancy as something in which you should lose yourself Picture Quote #1
