Congratulations to Professor @Arman_Econ for publishing his work titled "Using Neural Networks to Predict Microspatial Economic Growth" along with others in the AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW: INSIGHTS December issue!

Thrilled to share the news that I will be joining the wonderful faculty at @USF_Economics this fall! Can't wait to hit the ground running in this vibrant academic setting, and to reconnect with all those based in the Bay.

#Econtwitter Sharing our paper measuring economic growth in daytime satellite imagery will be published at AER:Insights, and nber.org/papers/w29569. Co-authors: @Arman_Econ, Anthony Thomas, Huye Zhou, @gordon_h_hanson, Alex Cloninger, Tajana Rosing (thread, 1/8)

Our new NBER working paper (now accepted at AERi): nightlights can't predict microspatial changes in population or income but neural networks + daytime satellite images can. nber.org/papers/w29569?…
