I'm still processing the recent loss of my thesis advisor, colleague, and friend, John Roberts. We put together an In Memoriam to honor his life and career. saet.uiowa.edu/wp-content/u...

Check out @susanathey.bsky.social’s interview on how AI-powered after-the-fact quality checks boost driver performance at Uber—and what it means when AI can track compliance. Insights via @StanfordGSB. www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/how...

Listen to Raj Chetty talk about how surrogate indices make it possible to make decisions more quickly using multiple short-term outcomes to predict long-term effects with @nber.org www.nber.org/research/vid...

ICYMI: New paper for causal effects with panel data, subsuming other approaches. We generate realistic synthetic data based on commonly studied datasets, showing our method substantially outperforms others and providing insight about what in the data-generating process corresponds to gains.

Earlier this month @susanathey.bsky.social joined Stanford University President Levin, @siepr.bsky.social Director @nealemahoney.bsky.social and other distinguished faculty to connect over cutting-edge research developments at Stanford Open Minds New York.

How could AI transform creativity, jobs, education and public policy? SIEPR's @nealemahoney.bsky.social and @susanathey.bsky.social, and @drfeifei.bsky.social, share their insights in this special episode of the Stanford Engineering's "Future of Everything" podcast. 👇 tinyurl.com/4wn3ekyz

AI was top of mind for many policy makers at G20 in South Africa. Terrific chance to discuss opportunities for growth and why AI may reshape industries.

“Governments will play a key role…in whether we actually develop the technology that will help lower-skilled workers become more productive by using AI to augment them with expertise that previously was difficult to acquire.”

If we know someone’s career history, how well can we predict which jobs they’ll have next? Read our profile of @keyonv.bsky.social to learn how ML models can be used to predict workers’ career trajectories & better understand labor markets. medium.com/@gsb_silab/k...

Foundation models make great predictions. How should we use them for estimation problems in social science? New PNAS paper @susanathey.bsky.social & @keyonv.bsky.social & @Blei Lab: Bad news: Good predictions ≠ good estimates. Good news: Good estimates possible by fine-tuning models differently 🧵

Online course certificates (from MOOCs) are booming (40M+ learners in 2024). But do these credentials actually help people get jobs? Our team investigated this in a new study by @susanathey.bsky.social & Emil Palikot 👇.

Excited to announce our #ASSA2025 session on the vital role of economic research in shaping public policy! Join us to hear insights from the experience of leaders in US government: @susanathey.bsky.social, Jessica Wachter, @cwolfram.bsky.social, Wesley Yin. Don't miss it #EconSky!

The tech industry is growing, but transitioning from other fields is hard. Find out how the Golub Capital Social Impact Lab at Stanford partnered with DareIT to develop & evaluate a digital program that helps Polish and Ukrainian women get tech jobs. t.co/gxVmd8cVDA
