“el comercio internacional no es una guerra de países, sino un mercado gigantesco donde las empresas y los consumidores hacen lo mismo de siempre: vender, comprar y organizarse lo mejor que pueden. Es una liga en la que todos pueden ganar algo.”

Desgraciadamente, importantes partidos y medios de comunicación continúan dando eco y espacio a la idea de que la inmigración trae crimen. ¿Pero qué dice la evidencia? A esto respondo en mi nueva entrada en @nadaesgratis.bsky.social nadaesgratis.es/santiago-san...

Trends and random walks in macroeconmic time series : Some evidence and implications by Nelson, Charles R. & Plosser, Charles I. (1982)

Charles Plosser, RIP - Marginal REVOLUTION

Charlie Plosser served as a faculty member and Dean of the Business School at the University of Rochester. He served as editor of the Journal of Monetary Economics (with Bob King), and later the President of the Philadelphia Fed. A serious and sensible economist. RIP.

Charles I. Plosser passed away on August 14, 2025. Here is an obituary www.hoover.org/profiles/cha... Among his many influential academic contributions, one might mention "Real Business Cycles" (1983, together with John B. Long). people.bu.edu/rking/EC702/...

After I set up a Python environment to run LLMs locally with Docker Model Runner, I wondered if you could use the same workflow with R. The short answer is, "Hell Yeah!" It took me 5 minutes to run LLMs with R using the ellmer library. Working on a step-by-step tutorial... #RStats #LLM #Docker

I often need to filter data in #rstats based on many variables. The dplyr::if_any() and dplyr::if_all() functions are really handy for this. More examples here: cghlewis.github.io/data-wrangli...

Just an honest labor statistician collecting the data, crunching the numbers, and reporting them fairly, and definitely not an extremist ideologue with an axe to grind, unshackled from respect for the law or political norms.

¿Alguien por acá que esté trabajando o quiere empezar a trabajar con esta librería? Ya he empezado, pero definitivamente voy a pasar todos mis análisis de encuestas de Stata a R {survey}

I had a great time presenting a #useR2025 workshop with @statsteph.bsky.social and Rebecca Powell on "Complex Survey Data Analysis"! If you'd like to check out the materials, we cover survey design, descriptive analysis, statistical testing, & more: tidy-survey-r.github.io/user-2025-su... #RStats

1/ 💡 We just published a new working paper on SSRN exploring how AI is reshaping the architecture of innovation ecosystems. 🔗 dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn... 🧵 1/8

There are some R packages that just feel like magic. I first encountered the datapasta package by Miles McBain when I was working with an EMG system that didn’t export the data in a user-friendly format.

It's pretty clear that people are only gay if the marginal benefit is less than the marginal cost of dating men.

After the Great Recession, the US started accumulating significant liabilities to foreigners. We spoke with Andrew Atkeson of UCLA about how to interpret this trend and what it means for American households. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/net...

If you like how Argentina has produced economic statistics, you'll love this guy.

Trump's nominee for BLS commissioner, EJ Antoni, is disastrously terrible. He's a 1200%, 1300% maybe 1400% in-the-tank Trumper, with few credentials beyond a history of misrepresenting or misunderstanding economic statistics. He has shown no commitment to truth www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Menzie Chinn provides a useful roundup of some of the recent misrepresentations and basic misunderstandings of government statistics from Trump's nominee to be our next BLS Commissioner. The clear theme is a commitment to winning a partisan news cycle over the truth: econbrowser.com/archives/202...

🚨 I have a new paper with a fantastic team (thanks to @jgeller1phd.bsky.social!) with a nice mix of theoretical & applied perspectives on beta regression modeling (i.e., proportions). It's fully reproducible with #rstats code. Great resource for teaching & self-learning! osf.io/preprints/ps...

God forbid a man trying to keep his job for more than a month.

Interesting work from Turing, adding to the growing evidence that significant performance gains — and possibly real-world utility — can still be gleaned from smaller and previous-generation foundation models www.turing.ac.uk/blog/why-we-...

This week's #TidyTuesday looks at data from @ourworldindata.org on the Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality) before and after tax 📊 #RStats #ggplot2 #DataViz

This new AER paper finds that business owners are much more likely to hire workers who share their political views. Political opinions of business owners have a real impact on who gets hired, how much they get paid, and who gets promoted. Political bias plays a big role in hiring

Why is paternity leave uptake so low in Japan—even with generous policies? Marianne Bertrand tells @talknormal.co.uk what norms, incentives & anime (!) can teach us about shifting workplace culture. From the @pse.bsky.social ‬ -CEPR Policy Forum 2025 👉 cepr.org/multimedia/w... #EconSky

Economic data is necessary to reality check policy. Firing the BLS Commissioner is unquestionably wrong. It enables the Trump Administration to pursue radical self-harming policies (where self means the American people). www.piie.com/newsroom/pre...

59. Ridge-Regression has very well-understood properties and that it is so seldomly used in economics is in my view 99.9% because it pushes coefficients towards 0 and that means less flashy coefficient sizes. When you have a ton of covariates and don't use Ridge, your significance is baked in.

Data revisions are a normal, necessary part of trying to measure a $30 trillion economy in real time. They can also be jarring, especially for people who don't obsessively scrutinize every jobs report. So I dug into the how and why of revisions. A few big takeaways: #EconSky
