I have good news!! I’ll be joining McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management as an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior. It's a dream come true! - Bonnes nouvelles! J’ai rejoint @DesautelsMcGill en tant que professeur adjoint en comportement organisationnel.

@DanGamarnik @kjhealy @jon_mellon I think the point is that weather has been used to instrument for so many IVs that you can find studies where weather has been theorized to affect your DV where said DV is the IV in another study. A mic drop of a point.

@kjhealy @jon_mellon I might be wrong on this but isn’t the exclusion restriction based on the direct effect of the IV, not indirect ones? Ie if rain affects U and U affects Y then it’s not a problem so long as rain does not affect Y directly.

@velezjorge @orgRem @SampsaSamila I'd underline @orgRem's point, which we do in the paper. You must rule out self-selection as it could "just" be substitution, which we do. But self-selection is also an important explanatory mechanism here. In that regard, this differs from many previous innovation studies.

@orgRem @jpferg @SampsaSamila thanks for sharing it. Just wondering if you have considered the potential self selection problem of women into research teams?

1/ Excited to share a new paper w/ @jpferg @SampsaSamila that tests if female inventors invent for women. We find that when the lead inventor on a patent is a woman the invention is 25% more likely to address female diseases, conditions, and anatomy. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@jonathanchait That's funny because it's (not) true

@redlettermedia Isn't the host of Dog Sitter & the host of How to Spot Counterfeit Beanie Babies the same man?

We need an international campaign to impose economic sanctions on the U.S. if it breaks its Paris climate commitments. For real. $ talks.

One good thing about this election is that dyslexics can never again be embarrassed by confusing 9/11 with 11/9.

Good on ya, @tomscott

To paraphrase Akhil Amar, the Electoral College was designed to increase the representation of reactionary southern whites, and it still is.

@GreatDismal Jackpot.

Pertinent comment in @NewStatesman on sterling crisis

Seems right-wingers boo "Born In the USA" now. 32 years, but at least we've finally cleared that up.

Trump I see your #TacoBowl and raise you 500 Latino voters standing in line at 9:15pm on Fri night to vote against you @ForecasterEnten
