The number of people who think that (a) it's easy to get accurate data in a timely fashion and (b) if there are revisions it must be "mistakes" or "faking data" is really worrisome. Let me explain. 🧵

Forthcoming in the JEL: "The Beautiful Dataset" by Ignacio Palacios-Huerta. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
Mad about jobs report inaccuracy? One reason it has gotten harder in recent years is declining survey response rates. There was an unpaid advisory group of statistical experts that was working on solving that problem at its last meeting... before Howard Lutnick disbanded it.🧵
Trump firing the BLS director for a bad jobs report - days after demanding the Smithsonian remove him from the list of impeached presidents - is banana republic stuff. If a Democrat pulled these stunts, Republicans would be setting themselves on fire outside the White House.
The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: friendsofbls.org/updates/2025/8…
Firing the Commissioner of Labor Statistics when the BLS revises jobs numbers down (as it routinely does) threatens to destroy trust in core American institutions, and all government statistics. I can't stress how damaging this is.
Can AI replace humans in reproducing social science research? New Study with 103 teams finds: 🧑🔬 Human-only teams = 94% success 🤖 + 🧑🔬 AI-assisted = 91% success 🤖 AI-led = 37% success Humans caught more major errors & ran better robustness checks. "Despite impressive…

As in previous years: if you’re going on the market this fall with a JMP in real estate/household finance/urban/something I would like: reach out and I’m happy to chat about your paper!
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
Fellow researchers: I am considering switching from batch files to Snakemake for my research workflow (mainly Python and Stata). Anyone made this jump? Worth the learning curve? Any better tools out there?

Excellent Jason Furman quote in NYT interview today (nytimes.com/2025/05/12/opi…). Corollary: Do as many reforms that benefit 95% at expense of 5% as possible. Ignore the whiners. Everyone, even 5% that lose from any specific policy, will be better off.
Mother’s Day can evoke a wide range of emotions—everything from deep gratitude for our mothers to worry that you haven’t done enough as a mother to the longing for the privilege of giving birth in this life. Regardless of your situation, I invite every woman to consider the…

This is one of the best papers I’ve ever seen. They use vertical acceleration data from Uber to estimate the roughness of roads across the nation, and combining that with how much drivers slow down, estimate exactly how much we’re willing to pay for better roads.
