Let’s take a deep breath! We all know that the RBA will not move the cash rate. Various forces pull in opposite directions, but both, a CUT and a HIKE, are not consistent with RBA’s mandate, communication, and practice ATM. And we mostly benefited from this reserved approach in recent years. #rstats

That’s our 📦 on CRAN!

"Russia wanted to make sure that we freeze, so a lot of Ukrainians stayed home and tried to stay warm by any means, and so by intensively staying warm during such difficult times it actually gave a formula how you can have more Ukrainians." For those who want a little pick-me-up today 😊

These are my heroes 💙💛

Congratulations to my student, Maggie Ma, for publishing her first #rstats package {ggincerta} on CRAN 🥳 Spatial uncertainty visualisation (bivariate, pixel, exceedance, glyph), like {Vizumap}, but fully integrated with ggplot2 -- a much simpler API with all the advantages of the ggplot2 system.

Excellent video - watch! Al Gore speaks at COP30 in Brazil.

That’s a presentation of our bsvarSIGNs 📦 for Workshops for Ukraine 🇺🇦

I’d like to share with you an excerpt from the book "Hemingway Knows Nothing" by Ukrainian Defender, poet, writer Artur Dron.

Dear @albomp.bsky.social , Australia can't possibly be supporting Russia to bypass trade sanctions, can it? That would be despicable.

I welcome recommendations of solid news/journalism sources about Australian economy. No drama queens pls 🤩

It's definitely a possibility! 🤷‍♂️ The bond yield curve models for the monthly data are set on the CUT, but weekly data models and other specifications indicate a HOLD decision. The former usually forecasts more precisely, and therefore it's a CUT. But I'm not certain 🤷 #rstats #cashrate #forecast

Amazing things happening on Italian television — Senator Carlo Calenda: "Putin is an aggressive imperial fascist" who blackmailed Europe through energy dependence on Russia by enlisting heads of governments like Merkel and Schröder as Kremlin assets.

In her monumental work, Darya Tsymbalyuk insists the world must reckon with the full cost of the destruction in Ukraine — not just in hectares lost or tons of grain burned, but in the severed roots that once tied generations to the land they called home.

👽 There it is! 👾 Our new and shiny paper for the Journal of Econometrics! 🤖 doi.org/10.1016/j.je... 🚀 In this paper: ✅ we provide general conditions for partial identification of Structural VARs through heteroskedasticity 👇 #econometrics #1000hofComputations #itwaswothit

On October 16th I will be presenting material from my book in the Workshops for Ukraine online workshop series. Details here 👇👇 sites.google.com/view/dariia-... #EconSky #RStats #TeachBE

🚀✨ The feeling when you have been coding your package in such a way that adding that one line of code speeds up the computations at least 5x!!! #rstats #openmp #cpp

Perfect! This is just what I was looking for! Thanks 💙💛

Hey, that's my paper! 😍

🥳 When did that happen! 🎉 Our package bsvarSIGNs has just reached 5K downloads! 🚀 Thank you and stay with us! #rstats #bsvarSIGNs

Not this time! No doubt the RBA is on a slide down with the cash rate. However, my forecasts are firmly centred around the HOLD decision this month. I interpret this as the markets accepting the RBA's pace of interest rate cuts. My forecasts are available at: forecasting-cash-rate.github.io #rstats
