Nathan Hoffmann

I'm delighted to share a new article I just published (open access!) in Population Research and Policy Review @SDA_Demography: "Strangers in the Homeland? The Academic Performance of U.S.-Born Children of Return Migrants in Mexico." 🧵👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/7

@katherinelsm Congrats Kate!!!

wacky that ‘ai writing detection is impossible’ has seeped into the popular consciousness all while theres strong proof that @pangramlabs can detect it i have no financial affiliation w them, they are just 1 of 2 subs that i am actively grateful for (other one being midjourney)

Cool paper from @medialab now showing clear proof of cognitive debt when using AI to write essays. Prior work from @vishakh_pk , @maxkreminski had shown how AI assisted writing leads to homogenization. Over reliance on AI for cognitive tasks clearly has its share of harms.

PhDone! I was honored to have Professor Andres Villarreal hooding me yesterday.

When I first tried GPT3 I remember thinking writing as a skill was basically over. Now I think the opposite is true. LLMs still can’t write, everybody else’s abilities are atrophying, and being able to clearly express yourself in prose seems like it will only get more valuable

New study: The relative wage premium for going to college has halved for low-income Americans since 1960. What is to blame? Rising selectivity? Tuition hikes? State disinvestment? We decompose changes in the premium since 1900 to find out. 🧵#EconTwitter nber.org/papers/w33797

@Robesqueere Cool, thank you!

@nathanihoff Rcmdr is a good R package that gives a point and click GUI but also the accompanying R instruction for things.

This fall I'm teaching an intro stats class for graduate students in sociology, and I'm looking for a textbook. The course covers probability, sampling, and basic data analysis, barely touching on regression. Does anyone have a textbook they like? I'd love one with R examples.

Come see me present new work with @_kvelasco from our project on queer migrants at #PAA2025!

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R. yiqingxu.org/packages/fect/… Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them. w/ @liuziyi233
