Hey #EconTwitter, I'm on the job market with a paper about open source software. OSS is a global public good, widely used and provided by the private sector, but the target of recent industrial policy. Paper: jeffgortmaker.com/files/Open_Sou… 1/

Excited to teach this workshop! It combines what I've learned from teaching demand estimation and Python to doctoral students, fielding PyBLP questions from users in academia/government/industry, and my own research with @conlon_chris. Check it out: mixtapesessions.io/session/demand…

@Spacehuskyx @florianederer Of course! Quick summary: Markups are (roughly) how much retailers charge above cost. If a retailer buys a pack of Oreos for $1 and sells it for $1.25, that's a 25% markup. There's a large body of evidence that markups (in retail and beyond) have been rising for several decades

Where should I look for survey data on perceptions of crime in the US? I'm interested in questions like "is crime getting worse in your community?" and want it going back as far as possible—since 1945 ideally!

An important initiative by Tatiana that helps aspiring econ PhD students with some crowdsourced advice on grad school. Any voluntary donations from purchasing this e-book will support the victims of the war. @TDeryugina thank you for your work on this! Grateful to contribute.

How will markets react to the FOMC conference tmrw? While the Chair’s press conference typically reinforces the market’s read of the FOMC statement, @nummoose and I find a break in the pattern recently: Chair Powell’s latest conferences tend to go the other way. 1/ #econtwitter

Despite the promise of #AI to transform work, why do so many companies struggle to actually adopt AI in practice? In a new @HarvardBiz article, Rebecca Karp and I show the importance of strategic pacing and give practical steps for successful AI rollouts: hbr.org/2022/08/find-t…

Introducing stata2r.github.io w @nickchk and @grant_mcdermott Hopefully makes the Stata -> R pipeline much easier. - data-wrangling with {data.table} - regression analysis with {fixest} These packages are blazingly fast 🏃🏻💨, highly powerful 💪🏻😎, and flexible 👌✨

Opinionated Latex table tip: You should output only the body of the table in R/Stata and do everything else in latex. This makes it simple to set up multicols, alignment, footnotes, etc. without trying to learn all the stata/R options.
