We're excited to have our CID PhD ambassador @AditiBhowmick18 take us through #NEUDC2024 this weekend. Good luck to all our PhD affiliates presenting - @KSrivastava_ @GabriellaFleis6 @o_mbonu @TilmanGraff Matthias Weigand & @AditiBhowmick18 and the organizing team @GAP_NU_

Still can’t forget the coronavirus disinfection & sanitization in Nigeria. 2020 was wild bruhhh!😂

Very excited to share @thetahat , @o_mbonu and I’s work on demand for urban exploration in Nairobi!

@jmwooldridge Great, thank you -- I'll email now!

@o_mbonu CF is either hard or only approximate, but I’ve endorsed some simple, approximations in my 2014 J of Econometrics paper. There’s a GMM approach that requires few assumps. I’m sure you could code it. Send me MSU email and I’ll share GMM slides ….

I've been asked recently by a few people about using a control function approach along with the Poisson FE estimator with panel data. It turns out there's a simple solution if you're willing to assume a linear first stage. Use linear FE in the first stage and obtain residuals.

@jmwooldridge Yes exactly

@o_mbonu So y1 = count, y2 = count?

@itsafronomics My literal thoughts trying to wake up this morning 😂😂

By trawling through the archives and compiling and correcting historical data, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has been able to present new and often surprising facts. She has also given us a deeper understanding of the factors that affect women’s opportunities in the labour market and how much their work has been in demand. The fact that women’s choices have often been, and remain, limited by marriage and responsibility for the home and family is at the heart of her analyses and explanatory models. Goldin’s studies have also taught us that change takes time, because choices that affect entire careers are based on expectations that may later prove to be false. Her insights reach far outside the borders of the US and similar patterns have been observed in many other countries. Her research brings us a better understanding of the labour markets of yesterday, today and tomorrow. #NobelPrize

Me after this FDOC.

Expanded choice set not always better if forcing you to make decisions you don't want to!! Free research paper -- you're welcome!

I just got $2,300 from Delta for volunteering my seat and leaving 24hrs later 🙌🏽. I'm hoping they don't offer me anything tomorrow, forcing me to put a value on quality time with my family!

@annastansbury @DanHo1 @annemmcdonough @sophie_e_hill Thanks for highlighting Anna!

The rapid ageing of tenured faculty (this data from law schools) Very interesting work from @o_mbonu (my former Harvard PhD colleague!) & @DanHo1 & @annemmcdonough h/t @sophie_e_hill

Me to my nephew: Ikenna I love you very much Him: *groaning* I know alreaddyy 🙄
