Are you working with heterogeneous agent models? Are you concerned about business cycle income dynamics? We've got good news.

@fatihguvenen, @AlisdairMcKay, and I have estimated an income process that you can use!

I count 14(!) papers by FTC econs in the overall SEA program this year!

I'll be presenting new work asking:

1. What's a reasonable economic notion of "open source" or "open weights" AI?
2. How does "openness" affect competition & the direction and amt of innovation?

Fewer students in Chile had access to college under Pinochet. They experienced higher mortality, worse labor market outcomes, & their kids were less likely to go to college.

@BrianCAlbrecht Lol, I agree.

[Conor Ryan @ConBerd]

@BrianCAlbrecht It’s one of the few economic terms that has a weirdly positive layman’s connotation rather than a weirdly negative one (eg price discrimination, moral hazard, etc.)

[Alisdair McKay @AlisdairMcKay]

Rents have been driving inflation recently. @neilmehrotra, @JavierBianchi7, and I have been thinking about the implications for monetary policy. 1/9

@LeistenEcon Eggs!

In my experience, the only situation in which data.table/ggplot is not the far-away best data analysis combo is when the size of the data approaches or exceeds RAM.

[alz @alz_zyd_]

I don't actually use R for data analysis/structural models, I use data.table and ggplot2 and Rcpp. R just happens to be the slightly awkward platform that the tools I like are built on. R is, however, reasonably good at staying out of the way and letting me use my tools

Is it easy to get a job with an econ PhD? Of course not.

But does it at least give you a great work life balance? Also no.
