@pbaylis Great info! Relatedly, your post on Quarto says "I have resisted drafting articles using RMarkdown ... but if this new system can help me shift away from LaTeX..." Have you made the switch with Quarto? I've been using Rmd for drafts, but find formatting after acceptance tough..

A number of people have been asking*, so I figured it was about time for the 2024 edition of "how to make nice LaTeX tables with R"! patrickbaylis.com/posts/2024-04-… * Technically speaking, zero IS a number.

@LeroutierM HH consumption but in the US: shoonlee.github.io/website/temper…

@EconTwitter @EnvironmentTwitter: I'm looking for recent empirical papers highlightling the heterogeneous effects of temperature / extreme weather events within a country. Preferably with an outcome that's not mortality, and not in the US. Any recommendations?

@KnittelMIT @MIT @MITSloan Congratulations Chris!! This is an exciting news!

@Sefi_Roth_ Congratulations Sefi!

I am super excited to share that I got promoted to Associate Professor!!!

@jtbradt @UTexasMcCombs Wow, so happy for you Jake. Congratulations!

@Airbnb @bchesky If you read all the way through this, thank you for hearing me out. Please like and share to help this digital "SOS note in a bottle" make its way to someone who is willing to help. 🍀🙏

@stef_fischer Congratulations, Stefanie!

Today I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure! It feels surreal. When I started this wild ride as a masters student at Montana State, I had no concept of a Ph.D. or a tenured professor. It is safe to say that I have moved a few rungs up on the ladder.

@lrberge Hi, thanks for letting me know (also for writing and maintaining a great package)!

Hello #EconTwitter! Do you also have issues with #fixest package in #R when using saved regression results after the package update? I have an older fixest_multi object saved as .Rds file and struggling to use it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@cjwich Don actually has a number of pioneering papers on waste management policies, and circular economy seems to be a natural extension of waste issues… Curious to know how water ppl see this issue!

@cjwich Hi Casey, this paper by Don Fullerton and his coauthors might be a good place to start. Introducing the Circular Economy to Economists annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Very excited to see the 🚨official launch 🚨of the Global Real Estate Leaders Program offered jointly between @MITCRE and @MaasRealEstate. See website here for information globalrealestateleaders.com 🧵1/7

Happy to share my thoughts on paths forward for reducing consumer food waste in this article in @ConversationEDU: theconversation.com/about-one-thir…. Kudos to @JenniferWeeks83 and the rest of their great editorial staff.

(15/15) This paper wouldn't have been the same without priceless advice from my advisors (@RyanMKellogg, @itonomics, Dan Black, @Siqi_MIT). Also, you can find a shorter version of 🧵 from @econ_jmp.

(14/15) The findings indicate that a small food waste tax is a powerful climate change mitigation tool by inducing environmentally advantageous HH behavior changes. Find out more: sites.google.com/view/shoonlee/…
