Finally, Rome!! I have come to understand the meaning of the proverbs “All roads lead to Rome.” It is a beautiful and ancient city. More importantly it is a city which has been built over by multiple civilizations multiple time throughout its long history. It’s like an artichoke!

Florence is definitely an open air museum. Wow, this is an impressive display of art and wealth. The only poverty in sight is a relic of city’s favorite dish: Lampredotto.

On multiple occasions, German friends have complained about the unreliability of Deutsche Bahn rail system. Yet my experiences have been on the whole very positive. I hope US follows the example.

I seem to have ticked off a debate about cities in Germany. Glad to contribute with pictures to support both sides of the argument.

One week from today!

Mannheim is expansive and beautiful, mixing pre-war architecture with post war pragmatism. Loved my visit to Mannheim Palace.

Fantastic day visiting @ckronenberg.bsky.social and colleagues in Essen. Very pretty city with heavy history.

Tea is the best drink in the world. #Amsterdam in the morning.

I am starting my sabbatical travel with a one day stopover in Amsterdam. Such a magical city!!

Ok timeline cleanser. Show me your teen celebrity crushes in gifs.

For absolutely no reason, let me remind people of this banger of a paper by @caroartc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

Call for papers for Workshop in Causal Health Economics (organized by Erik Grönqvist and @helenasvaleryd.bsky.social) with @hitoshishigeoka.bsky.social as keynote speaker. Just before #ESPE in Helsinki and best time to visit Sweden 👇

Hi friends! The Pioneer Science Olympiad team traveled to Boston this weekend to compete in the MIT Invitational Tournament. They have been stuck in the city since then, flights cancelled due to the storm. Please donate to help us support them as they make their way home safely.

Addressing these questions requires a team effort. To that end, we're hiring a postdoc to start summer 2026. Please submit your materials by the end of the month and/or share the posting: postdocs.stanford.edu/prospective/...

In case anyone is interested, here is my latest contribution to DiD. In this case, nonlinear models with repeated cross sections. A (short) paper will be ready soon. It's nothing path breaking but shows the obvious extensions from the panel data case works. www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/lne2y...

Taking the train to Philly tomorrow for the #ASSA2026 Reach out if you want to get a coffee or drink! I’ll be on this cheery panel about the future of higher ed on Sunday

I am stoked!!

Pfft. His mother would’ve just glided across the entire floor in one move.

Merry Christmas to my friends on Bluesky. May you and your loved ones carry forward the peace and harmony of this moment.

Ann Arbor, MI not visible to the naked eye but still spectacular.

People aren't happy with the state of the economy and the real weakness for the GOP is that independents are less happy about it than they were a year ago. You can't just lie to people about energy prices, they will open their heating bill and see the difference pretty clearly.

Thank you for highlighting our work!

Anna Arbor showed up in force!

Through segregation, violence, redlining, and sundown towns, Black families traveled. How did they know where to go? What places were safe? What places were welcoming? Search the data on this important part of American history: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky

Many thanks to Jim Flynn @jimflynn9.bsky.social for interviewing me for the ASHEcon Newsletter @ashecon.bsky.social. It was fun to chat about risky health behaviors, priorities for ASHEcon, the #EconJobMarket, and even favorite movie/book/teams. #EconSky www.ashecon.org/activities/n...

🚨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.

I have added my name.

I have added my name!

Burnout among emergency physicians and very very common. What is the next step? What do we do? How do we heal physicians so medicine has a future? Otherwise, no matter the technology, we might as well pack up health care and go home. @acepnation.bsky.social @antonyhsu.bsky.social

Hello, I’m an economist in a film. I have pure and perfect knowledge of supply and demand, and, on rare occasions, elasticity. In tense situations, as sweat trickles down my brow, I explain cost and benefit of a decision and pray to god that no one asks about the downstream repercussions of policy.

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/
