Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

@jmwooldridge I thought I was the only one 😀

The expectations, the doubts and the hope that Arsenal gives its fans is more of an emotional rollercoaster….but we survive💪🏼

A year ago on Facebook, at the request of a former MSU student, I made this post. I used to say in class that econometrics is not so hard if you just master about 10 tools and apply them again and again. I decided I should put up or shut up.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture on AI careers. It will teach you more about winning in the AI race than all the AI content you’ve scrolled past this year.

New paper with @arielburst on aggregate productivity in economies with discrete choice and household heterogeneity. In these settings, measures like real GDP, average utility (across agents), and sum of compensating variations have serious flaws. A brief summary below. 1/7

Are you eager to learn the exciting math behind the new science of causation?

Excited to announce the 4th Chicago School in Experimental Economics is heading to Osaka, Japan!

Join us June 22–26, 2026 at the University of Osaka for an intensive week on frontier experimental methods. We'll cover the full spectrum, from designing, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting experiments, based on my forthcoming textbook Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice (https://t.co/HYwZ2ZwGq0). You'll also have the chance to present and discuss your own research. Open to researchers across disciplines—economists, psychologists, sociologists, and beyond. I'll be joined by an incredible group of lecturers.
