My Game Christmas Tree. What's on yours?

If you are on the market and it feels tough, know this. You are amazing. You have come this far, be proud of yourself. Rejection hurts, but you are not your rejection. Know your worth, shine your light.

Plugging in the duck race numbers, n=6000, k=100, m=3, we get about a 5% chance of winning. We didn’t win, but on the plus side it was the most rubber ducks I’ve ever seen 🦆

Clearly, what changes here is the number of non-winning combinations. If you buy m tickets, then this number is "n-m choose k". And then we compute the probability of winning as before, although it does not simplify nicely.

Econ PhD students doing experiments: are you doing something interesting with your econometrics? I will read your paper and give you comments! Structural and/or Bayesian not necessary

@erickoester @I4Replication It was, indeed, interesting to work with people you've never met before on a project for a day

@aalexee_econ @I4Replication Sounds like an amazing event filled with learning and fun! 🎉

Big thanks to Lenka Fiala and @I4Replication for organizing the replication games in Brno. It was fun. We loved the songs 🤘

@JamesBland_Econ Thanks so much for the support!

An amazing paper, and related to some work I am doing on optimal experiment design. Well worth a read!

Thrilled to see my paper "The (Statistical) Power of Incentives" out at the Journal of the Economic Science Association. 🥳 Read it here (open access) 👉 dx.doi.org/10.1017/esa.20… #EconTwitter
