Tomorrow (Thu) at 1:45pm ET: Check out @borusyak.bsky.social's presentation of work w/ Mauricio Caceres Bravo on demand estimation with recentered IVs @ the Frontier Econometric Methods NBER SI. We're honored to have Steve Berry as a discussant! Should be livestreamed at youtube.com/@nbervideos

If you wanna learn more about this, check out @borusyak.bsky.social's presentation next Thursday at the new @nber.org Frontier Econometric Methods day nber.org/conferences/...

Bottom line: if you want your structural estimates to be more robust to model misspecification, be sure to use recentered instruments! arxiv.org/abs/2504.04056
