Can all econometric methodologists studying causal inference make a 2026 New Year's resolution to stop using the Lalonde (1986) data to illustrate new estimators?

One of the best antitrust papers now in the QJE:

Nearly half of US federal judges attended a crash course in economics at the Manne Institute.

This training had lasting effects: judges used more econ language, sided against regulators more often, and imposed harsher sentences.

We usually rely on GDP, trade, or wages to study the past. This paper flips the script.

It analyzes 630,000 paintings (1400-2000) with machine learning to extract emotions and shows how art tracks living standards, wars, inequality, and even climate shocks.

To finish off my Econ principles class, we covered game theory and oligopoly. I pointed out that studying for the final was a prisoner's dilemma. Even more so if no one (meaning not a single person took the final) I'd have to curve it so they all got an A. 1/12 #econforeveryone
