Attention IO job market candidates: Sometimes speakers in the CMA's external seminar series have to cancel at short notice. We would love for these slots to go to JMCs to present their job market paper. Drop me a message if you are interested or share with those who might be.

The CMA has just published its provisional decision in the Vets market investigation, which includes a great piece of econometric analysis. We use a diff-in-diff design to show that corporate acquisitions cause average prices to increase by 9% within 4 years.

The UK will soon have a new industrial strategy. What can we learn from past policies, and from examining the sectors in the government's recent green paper? Our new @CMAgovUK report looks at the data. 1/

We’ve cleared #Vodafone’s merger with #Three, subject to the companies agreeing to legally binding commitments, including to invest billions in rolling out a combined #5G network across the UK. This would ensure the merger boosts competition in UK mobile #telecoms.

Totally agree. As an early informal recipient of your wisdom, learning how to program opens so many doors - for both researchers and practitioners.

Yes, @ScPoEcon we teach a full course (24 hours) of basic programming skills floswald.github.io/ScPoProgrammin… Students appreciate (see below). I still hear the odd "isn't that a waste of valuable teaching time" comment every now and then. Couldn't disagree more.

Let me provide a few comments from the other side on this thread. If you start thinking about reproducibility of your work only the day the paper gets accepted, it can get rough. Start on day 1! We provide workshops! Let’s take a closer look: 1/n

Texting with a colleague at another uni who is mired in the AEA replication process. Wasting > month getting all in order so that some RA can just push one button and get all the data merges right so that the results are perfect to the 3rd decimal place. 1/5

Rue #Mouffetard - one of my favourite streets in #Paris, if not the entire world. Fond memories of a summer spent here back in 2004.

Delighted to release my first novel, entitled '#Luka', about four lives scarred by wars past and present, and their struggles to reconcile and forgive. Available on #Kindle, with a printed version in September. Reviews and feedback much appreciated! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C87H9F5R/…

Stata (released 1985) trying so hard to emulate ggplot2 (2005). “Now you can color by any variable!” I mean, wow, are you telling me that was impossible before?! What have those guys been working on for the last 40 years?

@alcrawfs Arsenal have a poor recent record at Goodison. Not used to such a rousing atmosphere.
