We should always use hexagonal grids and not square grids. I will die on this hill.

Meta is known for Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. But did you know they provide a range of free geospatial datasets for researchers? These include granular measures of household wealth, population, and network access. Here's what you need to know about it:

@bradfowd1 @Shooshan5 Jeez, do I really want to see some attempts to "moneyball" departments.
English
@Shooshan5 If we keep playing games whose rules are written by top-10 programs to benefit top-10 programs then we’re going to lose. Step one? Stop fetishizing top-5 journals; reward papers based on citations, not masthead; commit to hiring the best new Ph.D.s from mid-ranked programs.
English
This article hit very close to my heart. I have felt the gulf between the top 10 & rest of econ widen throughout my career & see no end in sight. I am also acutely aware of rising publication fees, shrinking dept. budgets, and rising data costs (e.g. recent CMS data changes). 1/2

My piece in @TheAtlantic today: Break Up Big Econ The economics profession has become insular and status-obsessed, and not focused enough on making a positive impact on the world. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

At the risk of exposing how big of a nerd I am, I was so pumped to have met THE @ChrisPerkinsDnD on my flight today! Big thanks for the photo, will always love that 4e adventure with the robot chicken crew.

@DaveEvansPhD @mosenkis I very fondly remember the Bartimaeus trilogy growing up. Haven't read the prequel yet.
English
I read or listened to 60+ books in 2023.
Top 3: Small Things Like These, Foster, & Nimona.
Runners up: Career & Family, Africa Is Not A Country, Bandit Queens, and Underground Railroad.
Also: I may have overindulged in detective fiction.

@MatthewGNagler Vans sk8 lows?
I'm vans eras and chinos with a button down in class. So I'm on this team!

this photo is so disturbing. three visible dress sneakers on the house floor

While prepping my JMP slides, I've made some pretty cool updates to my latex slides template:
- color rows/cells (with reveal options)
- bottom left beamer buttons: \bottomleft{}
- customize theme colors(!)
- full-size figures: \imageframe{}

A new DP is out: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. @IsabellaMasetto and @diegoubfal reproduced "Targeting High Ability Entrepreneurs Using Community Information" by Reshmaan Hussam, Natalia Rigol and @BenRothEcon.
The paper’s results are robust to all robustness checks. See below!

Updating some of the exercises for my class “Data Science for Business Applications”. If you have/know of cool (clean) data that can be used for causal inference and/or prediction, let me know! (It’s undergrad level, and topics can be broad).
English
@lopez_prol @joshmccrain Absolutely!
Here’s one: jayrobwilliams.com/posts/2020/06/… and here’s another older one: svmiller.com/blog/2015/08/c… and another using Hugo instead of Jekyll: matteocourthoud.github.io/post/website/
You can also just clone someone’s repository that contains their website and change their info to yours
English
@taylor_wright @joshmccrain Can you share a tutorial? I'm thinking of migrating mine to github.
English
you should very much have a website. terrible idea not to have one
The PhD Place@ThePhDPlace
I’m confused. Why does a PhD student need their own website? It seems quite excessive to me.
English
@arthur_spirling the threat of “We’ll just check your twitter profile if you don’t have a website” would actually induce some people to get websites
English
@AlfredoPaloyo Brilliant! “We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros” 🤣
English
@asacarny Yeah, or like additional heterogeneity analysis or slightly different way to do the main analysis
English
I find the "what if you did X?" type of questions during conference talks to be super unhelpful.
Presumably we could all go read the paper and make up our own minds about whether the result is robust and even privately offer other robustness checks to the authors.

@AlfredoPaloyo Only could have been better if it were comic sans

@keithschnak @arthur_spirling @cullenhendrix Better than econ in terms of hierarchy is a very low bar
