@HannoLustig as I regularly say: "be the change you want to see!" and that applies to doing referee reports too!! ;)

If you're in an academic seminar, a good question to ask yourself occasionally is: what would this experience be like if everyone behave liked me? Would this be a seminar you would want to keep attending?

Gita Gopinath, @Harvard professor of economics, presented research on global imbalances and detailed the consequences of a "third wave" before participating in a Q&A at the Atlanta Fed's 30th annual Financial Markets Conference. Watch: atlfed.org/4uSLQT5 #FedFMC

@pereztruglia I love it and i think it is amazing! Would you be able to share the background architecture so that we can adapt it to finance? Right now the set of referees suggested is too econ oriented for finance research
