The social mobility literature has organized around three types of measures: intergenerational regressions, sibling correlations, and equality of opportunity (EOp) indices. 1/4

I can barely travel with myself.

Almost perfectly coincides with my lifetime, and it was quasi-magical.
Relatedly, it took almost half a day to reach my paternal village ('baari') when we were kids:

I spent much of my working day failing at setting up a cite-while-you-write routine using #quarto in #Rstats with #zotero. I tried following this helpful guideline (giancarlomcorrea.netlify.app/post/zotero-...) but I still cannot fetch my reference (I think it is because I use a shared library).

Great to see the record corrected, but I don't think Laura and David need to say "sorry."

The culture change I wish we could have: Understanding that we all make errors, and incrementally improving the processes of social science to make them rarer.

This doesn't happen through "blame and shame."

Let me take the bait

Shamelessly tagging the maestro as well @dmckenzie.bsky.social
Apologies and thanks in advance!

Looks relevant. Thanks!

What are some good examples of within-treatment spillover, i.e., treatment effect for the treated who has other treated units nearby? Looking for examples outside the cash-transfer literature, and esp for information interventions.
Thanks in advance!
