My coauthors and I are hiring a project coordinator for new research on an innovative jail-based rehabilitation paper (IGNITE), building on our recent QJE Apply at careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/project...

Trying my luck here: @jiafengkevinchen.bsky.social, @instrumenthull.bsky.social, and I just posted a question about conditional expectations under a nonparametric completeness condition. Any thoughts & suggestions much appreciated! stats.stackexchange.com/questions/66...

ICYMI: you can watch the recording here (around the 5h19m mark) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpxf...

Tomorrow (Thu) at 1:45pm ET: Check out @borusyak.bsky.social's presentation of work w/ Mauricio Caceres Bravo on demand estimation with recentered IVs @ the Frontier Econometric Methods NBER SI. We're honored to have Steve Berry as a discussant! Should be livestreamed at youtube.com/@nbervideos

If you wanna learn more about this, check out @borusyak.bsky.social's presentation next Thursday at the new @nber.org Frontier Econometric Methods day nber.org/conferences/...

Excited to teach a diff-in-diff mini-course in Mexico City in September. Thanks to the organizers for the invitation!

For no particular reason, it might be a good time to repost my Starter pack of academic economists who study international trade go.bsky.app/G3dqAYg

New tools for precisely estimating the effects of treatments defined by complex formulas, with an application to simulated instruments, from Kirill Borusyak and @instrumenthull.bsky.social https://www.nber.org/papers/w33594

Formula instruments are increasingly common: e.g. I notice most papers constructing climate shocks use them, +trade, labor etc. Our new WP shows theoretically & practically how to build valid & powerful formula IVs. Big power gains in the simulated Medicaid eligibility setting. Comments welcome!
