@Prashant_Garg_ There currently is no title "Assistant Professor" in the Oxford system. So even if hired fresh from PhD you become an Associate Professor.

@WeidnerEcon A bit confused as it says both Associate and Assistant

The Department of Economics in Oxford invites applications for Assistant/Associate Professorships across all fields: econjobmarket.org/positions/12071

Yes, the stake are large. Very large.

@instrumenthull If there exists a function f(Y) such that E(f(Y)|Z,W)=k(W), then I believe you are done (just set h(Y)=f(Y) and use your completeness assumption above). But something tells me that this is not the condition you are searching for. :)

Just checked my LinkedIn feed for the first time in a while --- way more interesting than Bluesky, way less noisy than X. Maybe this is the place to be?

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

This week we marked 40 years of unit roots & cointegration with a workshop hosted by the Oxford Bulletin journal. Yesterday, we enjoyed a panel discussing the key concepts and results of cointegration analysis developed over 4 decades. #UnitRoots #Cointegration #EconConference

Two insights from Economics: 1 Markets are flawed. 2 Government allocation is often worse. Two insights for research assessment in Economics: 1 Journal rankings are flawed. 2 Replacing them with something else is often worse. (this post is not about SQARE but about DORA!)

🚀Exciting news! We’ve been awarded a UKRI Metascience grant to modernize research practices in Econometrics! Our project will develop innovative platforms—including SQARE.org—to enhance research evaluation & collaboration. gov.uk/government/new… @economictricks

Today is a sad day as I have learned of the passing of my friend and @usc_econ colleague University Professor Richard Easterlin. Here is a happy photo of us back in 2018. Dick would have turned 99 in January. He was a highly productive and optimistic economist. A thread.

New working paper with Koen Jochmans and Stéphane Bonhomme: 'A Neyman-Orthogonalization Approach to the Incidental Parameter Problem' is now available on arXiv. We explore bias correction in panel and network models: arxiv.org/abs/2412.10304

Detecting a clear structural break in social network migration over recent days. The process appears non-stationary with a strong upward trend. We might finally be observing that long-anticipated regime shift in platform adoption.
