🚨NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨 Are suicides sensitive to small health events like seasonal allergies? More than 80 mil Americans have seasonal allergies, & these are getting worse as temperatures rise. We show that there are more suicides as pollen levels rise. @talkecontome.bsky.social @omfleming.bsky.social/1

Question for #Econsky📉: Can you recommend a paper which implements Callaway and Sant'Anna that carefully describes the specification in methods? (As opposed to write a TWFE specification and mention that it will be estimated with CS.)

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of my friend, mentor, and co-author Dr. Allen Goodman. Allen was an exceptional mentor and was kind, thoughtful, and supportive. I am passing his legacy on, teach the next generation of health economists.

Hello, I’m an economist in a film. I have pure and perfect knowledge of supply and demand, and, on rare occasions, elasticity.

Hello, I'm an attorney in a film. I have a pure and perfect knowledge of every area of practice in every jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I will be corrected by a plucky law school grad who just passed the bar. After some stubborn resistance, I will silently nod and take her under my wing.

I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on. Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts. 1/

Thank you, @maxkozlov.bsky.social for this multifaceted discussion. When conducting studies about academic productivity, it is important that authors present a clear takeaway. Otherwise statistics can be hijacked by unscrupulous arguments to undermine academia.

Let’s keep in mind that in bench sciences, pub are teamwork, cranking out multiple a year. Once a faculty member build up momentum, the lab sustains it. In econ, every paper is a fresh start with a small number of coauthors who all pull their weight. It does not sustain itself. #applesandoranges

Very interesting finding. From personal experience, when women ask to be compensated for this extra work they are called “unreasonable” and “insane”. #acaedmiclife
