New preprint! We re-analyze 46 papers that use log-like specifications (ln(Z+1), inverse hyperbolic sine, etc). We find widespread non-robustness, and we show through theory + simulation how these models drive spurious significance. 1/ doi.org/10.31222/osf.i…

@Afinetheorem Cool paper indeed!! It started when I was a post-doc at the nber.

Excited to see my paper with @JorgeGuzmanCBS in the new RESTAT, but gotta speed up the time from acceptance to journal issue! 2.5 years since it was accepted. Cool paper: we back out utility to founders and movers, and show SF/SV/Boston is not as attractive for "growth". 1/2

If you haven't seen it elsewhere -- only two days left to apply to the NBER Entrepreneurship boot camp!! We welcome applications from PhD students across business school disciplines and the social sciences. Details in the following link! conference.nber.org/confsubmit/bac…

The NBER recession dates from before 1927 are fundamentally different from the modern dates. They measure something different (movements is output relative to trend). So, are not comparable with the post-1927 dates.

@ProfNeilT Congratulations Neil!

Excited to announce that I was just promoted to Principal Research Scientist at MIT! (Roughly equivalent to getting tenure)

📈 Prices of Chinese goods at major U.S. retailers keep rising. Our updated paper has data until May 7 and covers 276K+ products — including 15K with country of origin identified using GenAI. Full paper: …lab-rw7gfm.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/tariffs/Tracki… #Tariffs

1/ 🚨 New tariffs are here. What did we learn from the last round? Our research (AER: Insights 2021) shows that tariffs on imports largely hit US firms—not foreign exporters. But front-running, trade diversion, and lower margins meant the impact on consumer prices was limited in the short run. 🧵

@nummoose Congratulations!!

I am excited to join the Boston University Questrom School of Business as an AP this fall! Grateful to stay in Boston, thrilled about working with the wonderful people in the Strategy and Innovation group, and eager to continue working on the important open Qs in Matt's thread

coding with copilot is really nice!

Amazing opportunity for PhD students interested in entrepreneurship (and attending part of the @nberpubs Summer Institute): nber.org/calls-papers-a… Application due: February 15th.  Thank you to @robinson_fuqua and @JorgeGuzmanCBS for organizing.

I never imagined a single week could so profoundly shift my perspective on my research area, but that's exactly what happened at this bootcamp. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my PhD: top researchers walked us through the literature such that we connect the dots.

Now live! Please send your best students to join us at the NBER Entrepreneurship Boot Camp this summer. The event is a wonderful way to join the field, and was a starting point for many of our academic journeys. Applications due Feb 15! @robinson_fuqua nber.org/calls-papers-a…

Enorme gusto ver en el blog 'Esto no es economía' que cubran nuestro artículo en español y una explicación fantástica. Muchas gracias @Nicolas_Ajz !!

If you can't make sense of how there is increasing political polarization, why false facts do not die, and how echo chambers happen. Or, if you're just interested in how culture works. Check out @MichaelMorrisCU's new book, Tribal. michaelwmorris.com/book

More bookkeeping than accounting..

Looking for a resource on _managerial_ accounting for startups / young businesses. Not taxes, but instead how should a solo founder do basic bookkeeping and know what they have / owe / need in early stages and quickly changing environment.
