Very happy that this paper has now been accepted for publication in BMC Public Health!

TIL that Featherstonehaugh and Woolfordisworthy are two- and three-syllable words, respectively.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Really gutted that a promising PhD candidate might not be able to start his PhD due to a huge funding gap. It’s a tough reminder of how financial barriers still block talent from the Global South

That’s a wrap on the AREUEA International Conference 2025! A fantastic week of ideas, insights, and connections. Catch the highlights here: www.linkedin.com/posts/americ...

The UK is literally a nation of strangers. I know a miniscule fraction of you, only my friends, associates, family. The use of this term can only have racist interpretations. Strangers that are different from all the other strangers by virtue of being from somewhere else.

Please re-post! We have THREE funded PhD studentship opportunities open, as part of a new NIHR-funded partnership on outbreak-related behaviours between @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, University of East Anglia and @ukhsa.bsky.social. The links are in this thread, closing date: 18th May 2025. 1/3

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Join us next Wednesday, May 7, at 11:00 (ET), for our Virtual Seminar! #econsky Registration: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The first draft is where you explain it to yourself. The second draft is where you explain it to your readers

Friendly reminder: there is basically no case in which we assume normality of VARIABLES. It is essentially always the normality of the error term (and that is often not required, though it sometimes is).

Coefficient plots are in! You see them all over. A while back, I heard someone argue that we should use smoothed CIs in our coefficient plots, like below. This aligns with Gelman's principle: the difference between “significant” & “not significant” is not statistically significant. Thoughts?

Just interviewed candidates for an RA position and I’d like to hire them all. So much talent!

Anyone know the best dataset for real estate auctions? Ideally one that includes bid activity _before_ the final result although that's not essential. #econsky

Absolutely over the moon to learn that my former student received full funding to pursue his PhD under my supervision! Thanks, ESRC! 🥳

A gathering of the leaders of non-fascist western countries who choose not to threaten their neighbours death and subjugation.

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Credit to Starmer. This is good.
