After a year filled with intense writing, I can't believe Causal Inference in Python is finally going to print!! Not only that, but I must say the book looks absolutely beautiful! You can now preorder it on Amazon: amazon.com/Causal-Inferen…

@EpiEllie Sleep. Seems to be one of those topics which is hard to tell the good from the bad science.

There’s a lot of bad public health advice out there, so I’ve started a newsletter to help you sort the information from disinformation. What topics do you want to see covered?

A friend of mine is looking for an online course on Causal Inference or Policy Evaluation. Optimally, it would be a course at the advanced undergraduate level. #EconTwitter, do you have any recommendations?

Eu quero que vcs, que acordam super de madrugada, saibam que eu invejo vcs do fundo do meu coração. Vcs e o povo que enche o prato de salada feliz com isso. Pelo amor de Deus, acordar muito cedo é desumano. Café com Deus pai 5am é o 🤬, eu quero tomar café com a Namaria Braga 10

@jonwithno_h Than its easy to transition to the Quini: Take the cumulative effect and multiply by the proportional sample size, so the effect of the top 1% you multiply by 0.01; the effect of the top 2% you multiply by 0.02 and so on.

@jonwithno_h I usually start explaining the cumulative effect: 1) rank order units by what we think predict their sensitivity to the treatment; 2) Compute the effect (in this case, coef of lin. regr) of the top 1%, than top 2% and so on util you get to 100%, where you should have the ATE.

Two gifs for explaining the cumulative gain (quini) and effect curves when the treatment is continuous.

And two more to show what a baseline (stupid model that just outputs random numbers) looks like:

O Tweet da SELIC a 5% rendeu tanta interação boa que realmente não tem nenhuma razão pra não defender SELIC a 5%.

A math department at a major university in the US is now offering a semester long course on “game theory”. Yes, you read that right. Games. The things tiny children play. The dumbing down of America continues…

Your periodic reminder that economists come in different shapes and sizes. There are academic economists. There are government & central bank economists. There are think tank economists. There are private-sector economists. Each come with useful perspectives & tools.
