Check out the call for papers for a Real Estate Economics Special Issue on Housing and Housing Policy with guest editor Ingrid Gould Ellen!

Discussed a paper by Alex Bell, @BillingsEcon, @sophcalderwang, and @ShushengZhong at NBER Real Estate today. It’s an exciting, very novel paper showing a new way to identify and estimate hedonic price functions using an "anti-IV"!

We are pleased to announce the publication of the latest issue of Real Estate Economics (Volume 52, Issue 4, July 2024). Articles can be viewed here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/15406229/2…

Always a great conference!

@kylefbutts Congrats, Ky!

This fall, I have taken a job as an AP at the University of Arkansas !! As I have done (annoyingly) around the house for the last week: WOOOO PIGGGG I'm so thankful to all those that have helped along the way:

@coulsoncommaed @AREUEA_ORG Congratulations, Ed!

It was my great honor yesterday to receive the George Bloom Service Award for service at the @AREUEA_ORG conference.

Just finished reading Streets of Gold by Abramitzky and @leah_boustan. As an economist, immigrant, (and fan of MythBusters), I really enjoyed this myth-busting tale of immigration written by economists.

I'm excited to start as an editor at Real Estate Economics. Looking forward to reading some great papers in 2024!

Just finished reading The Lady Tasting Tea by David Salsburg, a light and enjoyable history of statistics and statisticians. It gives some nice background to the evolution of statistics (e.g. Fisher v. Neyman-Pearson testing) as well as plenty early 20thcentury statistics gossip!

Just finished reading The Book of Why by @yudapearl. A very interesting read. I already cover some of Pearl’s work in my grad econometrics class -- it may be time to add a little more! Next book up for me: The Lady Tasting Tea.

@OwenOzier @dbergstresser Great shirt, Owen!

Snow hole! w ⁦@dbergstresser⁩

Always a great conference!

I'm a little biased, but I really like this paper. When I first heard the results, I immediately bought an air-quality monitor and HEPA air purifier.

@rebeccardiamond @lkatz42 Congratulations, Rebecca!

Very honored to receive the Bennett award. I thank my advisors, colleagues, and co-authors for their support. I especially thank @lkatz42 and Ed Glaeser for getting me interested in urban economics and Ariel Pakes for teaching me the importance of models in empirical work.
