Very much this 👇 Goal is 75% reach, almost there!

Brilliant initiative, agree with @unabergmane.bsky.social - there are lots of very good books from and on Ukraine, like Zhadan's The Orphanage or @popovaprof.bsky.social and @oxanashevel.bsky.social Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States, and much more!

Thought-provoking week-end read by Cornel: "The problem isn’t that China “cheats.” The problem is that it plans well while Europeans act like the last liberals in the trenches, preferring to vanish rather than see too much state intervention." ...

Amazing and very useful work by @dtoshkov.bsky.social also cool for teaching purposes -> @nenaoana.bsky.social

Conditioning on a match indicator S can generate collider bias exactly cancelling a confounding path and identifying the effect of Z on X. Here it is in a very good DAG. 9/10 because of the functional form specificity. From Steiner et al. (2017) "Graphical Models for Quasi-experimental Designs"

Great opportunity 👇!

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly. New study in @worldpolitics.bsky.social with @tabouchadi.bsky.social , @indubioproreto.bsky.social, Nadja Mosimann, and @markuswagner.bsky.social Thread👇

Very good memes to teach Bayesian stats...

Entrance exams at Normale Sup' never disappoint and are deeper than they appear. Great exercise: allows for creativity, forces to critically mobilize acquired knowledge, especially in the age of AI and writing on PCs (it's pen and paper). Useful also to teach how to write well-structured essays.

Great job at amazing department with wonderful people, smart students, free coffee and secret ping pong table:

This Thursday @uwmadison.bsky.social
