I mean, it’s entirely silly to refer to one of the most foundational economic theorists of all time as “niche”. His work is the foundation for literally every single model in modern macroeconomics and also the study of adverse selection & moral hazard.

@mattsclancy @paulnovosad @ChadJonesEcon Thoughts on “vintage LLMs” as a (the?) solution to creating a lot of this sort of data that is implicitly supposed to be state dependent? (ie, generating data about some point only with information available in that same point)

Two recent examples of how AI lets you do "expert judgment at scales large enough to do quantitative analysis on": @ChadJonesEcon and Christopher Tonetti's new paper on automation and growth. It has a model where production is a huge number of tasks. They use structured prompts to ask LLMs to come up with 100 production tasks per sector and estimate how much of the task was performed by machine or humans at different points in time, and the share of production costs associated with the task. Then they can use the results to do historical analysis and forward looking simulations on the contribution of automation to productivity growth. web.stanford.edu/~chadj/JonesTo… @_brianpotter's latest blog post asks claude how much earlier 160 inventions could have been invented, given the important components in the inventions and the state of technology in earlier years. He can then do descriptive data and trends on the overall set. construction-physics.com/p/how-long-do-… I'm sure there will be a bunch of methodological work to hammer out how well this works and what the failure modes are, but it seems like an exciting new tool to me. In the economics of innovation, we often rely on these very noisy proxies for subjective judgement: how many citations received, as a measure of a paper's impact/importance; clever transformations of citation data to assess how disruptive a paper is; overlap of technological classifications in patents to assess how similar two technologies are, etc. AI judgment (if validated) could let you come up with more precise measures of what we care about in all these cases.

A job ladder model with incomplete markets links wealth to job search over the life cycle. It provides a new microfoundation for all three inputs in F(K, AL) and offers novel insights into how redistributive policies affect aggregate output and welfare. econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Are you also torn between small sample performance and robustness to heteroskedasticity? You can have both! One can produce an exact test for subvectors that is asymptotically robust to heteroskedasticity. Forthcoming Econometrica

Pat Kline: "I don't like the phrase 'causal inference' either because it's usually 'causal estimand identification' are what those papers actually are; there's nothing to do with inference typically; there's no distribution theory in those papers." youtu.be/ifp_BUKl3ig?si…

What do workers at the margin of informality value at work? We surveyed 700 residents of Brazil's largest favela complex to find out, using open-ended questions and discrete choice experiments. Joint work with Beatriz Marcoje, @iedarm, and @rodmclara. Here's what we learned. A thread 👇:

Vincent Geloso@VincentGeloso·
Erwin Diewert should win the Nobel in economics this year. His work on price indexes -- while some find it boring -- is basically the thing that is everywhere around us without us seeing it. It is like the air we breathe as economists. You go to the BLS website to get the price index? Diewert is there! You get a GDP series from the FRED database -- Diewert is there. You open your macro textbook to teach undergrads about inflation, Diewert is there. You open your micro textbook to teach undegrads about substitution effects, Diewert is there. Turn around, Diewert is there too! Yet, we never recognize that his work gave us powerful insights bridges to gap between theory and applications. Not giving it to him at this point is the same slight as not giving it to Harberger, Demsetz, Alchian, or McKenzie (or the Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie)

An absolute banger of a paper. “A Gentle Introduction to Matrix Calculus” by econometrics legend Jan Magnus — one of the clearest explanations of matrix derivatives ever written. If you work in econometrics, machine learning, statistics, or optimisation, this paper is pure gold.

If the Middle East conflict triggers mass refugee movements, where would people go? New research from @CReAM_Research at RFBerlin finds the answer lies where refugee communities already exist, and in Europe, that means Germany. 📄 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: lnkd.in/deZevBFq
