🎓 Earlier this week, I was in Split for the 3rd edition of the Croatian Health Economics Workshop. The initiative started in 2023 when Prof. Ana Bobinac, Lana Kovacevic, and myself co-founded CHEA, aiming to develop an academic community in Croatia around the economics of health(care).

🎉Today is the first day of the 3rd Croatian Health Economics Workshop (CHEW). 🎉 To kick things off, @domignon.bsky.social discussed Pauline Mente's work on: "Health Shocks and Risk-Taking Behaviour: Evidence from Longitudinal Experimental Data".

To borrow another example, taken from the `dbreg` README: github.com/grantmcdermo... Here I am running a fixed-effects regression on 180 million(!) row parquet dataset... and it completes **< 2 seconds**... on my laptop 🤯 This is powered by @duckdb.org under the hood. #rstats #econsky

It's hard to fathom that every 6-8 years UK universities spend years and hundreds of millions doing something that can be done in an afternoon by one person with access to impact-factor weighted citation counts.

Quick @Stata tip: use the "coeflegend" option in a regression to display the name Stata uses for each coefficient. reg price mpg i.foreign##i.rep78, coeflegend
