We aim to strengthen the relationship between academia and industry researchers so we all learn from each other!
It was a pleasure to host you @laurakgee.bsky.social !
Loved the talk and our discussions!
Healthcare jobs have grown 2x faster than the overall labor market since 1980
Healthcare overtook retail to become largest industry by employment in 2009
New working paper w/ @gottliebecon.bsky.social, @kevinrinz.bsky.social and @victoriaudalova.bsky.social on the rise of healthcare jobs
Very useful thread 🧵!
How are parents affected by their kid going to college? How are they affected when their kid gets a scholarship or grant?

Reviewing the theory of monopsonistic wage setting, its empirical implications, and some puzzles the framework has struggled to explain, from Patrick M. Kline https://www.nber.org/papers/w33467
Often discussions get lost in comparing features of languages. Rather language choice should depend on what maximizes one’s efficiency and production of output. And that’s idiosyncratic.
Conditional on language, notebooks like Pluto, Jupyter, qmd, Rmd are excellent tools for teaching.
The real cost is switching from tried-and-tested legacy code.
But there is large variation across sub-disciplines within economics---a lot of labor and macro folks use julia. In fact, julia.quantecon.org was started and still heavily maintained by macro folks.
Excited to share results from a 4-year first-ever RCT across US jails. We (Crystal Yang & I) find that death rates are much higher in jails than officially reported & health care accreditation improves staff coordination, quality & save lives.

PDF table made with LaTeX and tabularray with {tinytable}
R code for making the table
#rstats and #QuartoPub PSA: @vincentab.bsky.social's {tinytable} is the absolute best table making package out there for LaTeX output (it natively supports tabularray!), and it's phenomenal for HTML. It has fully replaced {gt} and {kableExtra} for me vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/
What a wonderful, practical and heartwarming thread to wake up to!! 😇
We use a new machine learning technique to identify the most cost-effective policies to boost immunization demand in India. We evaluated 75 combos of reminders, incentives, and local community ambassadors. The most effective increased immunization by 44%. https://buff.ly/4j0v3IF
For those who didn't make it to #ASSA2025: strongly recommend @sendhil.bsky.social's AEA distinguished lecture, available at www.aeaweb.org/webcasts/202... (starting at minute 16)!
Just updated an old repo that's a cookiecutter template for research projects. Now uses uv for Python & Quarto for paper and slides, & has pre-commit + other bells and whistles.
Outputs dynamically updated in the paper & slides. Compiling the paper is just "make paper".

Curious about Econ & Gender. Check out this session Sat 12:30pm at the Marker Hotel (location currently wrong in the #Assa2025 app) with work by @econprachi.bsky.social @bilgeerten.bsky.social and chaired by @olgashurchkov.bsky.social www.aeaweb.org/conference/2...,
Happy new year everyone!!! 🎊
Wishing everyone more happiness and peace in 2025! 😇

This and the OP is critical for understanding people’s reactions to LLMs, both positive and negative. I’ve seen a bias develop in both cases. In former case, heavy users have a feel for what prompts work and have limited their requests to those categories. This creates impression of robustness 1/n
Rest well, Manmohan Singh! The 13th Prime Minister of India was unlucky in the way he was portrayed, yet stood as a stark contrast to his successor: took open questions from the Press, was dignified in his remarks, and brought in much needed, sensible reforms as Finance Minister in 1991. A good man.
We should at a minimum do what Nature does, in which the referee comments and author responses are published along with the paper.
Allows the paper itself to be an authoritative artifact while lifting the curtain on the debate that led its creation.
(quoting @dholtz.bsky.social )
4/
In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.
