Some random conversations with @NU_PolicySchool fantastic PhD students! So lucky to be able to have them in our life! @SebastianRamRa1, Kishan Narayan

@BenedictXuEcon Thank you very much, could you point out the mistakes on my DM, I am not a chinese native speaker and used AI so any help with this is highly appreciate it.

@SebastianRamRa1 One suggestion: the Chinese version of this webpage is incomplete and poorly translated.

In one of my classes we had to design a social media project using AI. Most examples were like content automation, explainers, that kind of thing. I wanted to try something a bit more useful. So I started building this:

Did you know that @Arnold_Ventures has a standing RFP for causal research proposals related to crime and the criminal justice system? Send us your ideas! We aim to get you an answer fast (within 3 months). All we need from you is a 3-page LOI that describes the intervention you're testing and the research design you're using. (Link below.)

I’m updating it over time with educational content. If you’re curious / have thoughts: Webpage: sebastianramirezram.github.io/nametheabuse/i… Instagram: instagram.com/nametheabuse?i… would really appreciate feedback

Structured slowly: – definitions – red flags – structural patterns – support The goal is not to tell people what to do. Just to make things easier to name, without pressure.

Working on an idea for ~1 year and finally have results + methods in place. What’s the best way to circulate a working paper and get feedback (besides conferences)? Posting on a personal website? Direct emails to researchers? Curious what is the best in practice. #EconTwitter

@RatraVastav Congratulations on the presentation! Hope to see you around while you’re in Boston.

current mood: this photo #newprofilepicture

Research ideas, career questions, and life conversations — the informal moments are often the most meaningful. Great time with our PhD students @NU_PolicySchool.

made a slide deck for my research in finance class on how to make effective slides. Thought it might be helpful for JMCs as well. Here is the link: fuzhiyu.me/blogs/slide_de… good luck!

Hi all, I’m excited to share my Job Market Paper I study how pre-grant patents act as early signals of global innovation diffusion, showing that publication-stage patent shocks drive earlier TFP gains and immediate stock-market responses. Full Thread below #EconTwitter

@elisaxchen Same! Snow at least makes the cold feel like it has a purpose, this warm-but-not-warm weather is confusing

Okay Cambridge, when are we getting snow? Can’t believe I’m asking this, because this winter feels… weirdly warm
