A funny coincidence and a great read!

[Scott Kominers @skominers]

Fun fact: in what is kind of the most excellent coincidence I have ever seen, today's economics laureate @PikaGoldin has a new @nberpubs working paper out this morning called "Why Women Won."

(This really presumably is a coincidence because not only is it not possible to predict receiving a @NobelPrize, but also the working paper release schedule is somewhat stochastic.)

CONGRATULATIONS @PikaGoldin, QED!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

1/3 It's important to continue sounding the alarm about increasing geoeconomic fragmentation. New WEO research released today finds that fragmentation could spark volatility in commodity markets. Trade restrictions on commodities have surged in 2022.

The EconGeo R package is now available from CRAN!

EconGeo allows to easily compute a series of indices commonly used in the fields of economic geography and economic complexity.

Heard about relatedness density? economic complexity? They are here 🙂

Bosses who insult and intimidate don't get results. They leave people scarred.

Data: when NBA players have abusive coaches, they play more poorly for the rest of their careers—and commit more technical fouls.

Weak leaders make people weaker. Strong leaders make people stronger.

16 rules for sharing code and data. All endorsing journals ask the same. Some rules are harder than others, but data editors help you meet them.

Even among those that run, the vast majority of packages received are not well documented. With @AeaData @korenmiklos Marie Connolly & @p_morrow_UofT, we developed this 👇 template that describes all the info that a ReadMe file should include (3/9)

Presenting my work on the spatial heterogeneity in misallocation at the Ibeo workshop organised by @umrlisa and CRENoS. Thank you for the great organization, questions and discussion!

[Katarzyna Kopczewska @KathyKopczewska]

Most of the Spatial Machine Learning class is done. We cover spatial clustering, GWR with Random Forest and spatial neural networks. All in R! I am happy to have amazing students at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona! Thank you, prof. Rosella Nicolini for invitation.

Btw, if you try to ask chatGPT for citations, it makes them up, assembling authors, title, specific volume and pages in an existing field journal, for a publication that was never conceived.

What’s Wrong with ChatGPT? by Daron Acemoglu, et al @ProSyn https://t.co/JC7b7pNkvI

ChatGPT not accessible, synthetic meat made illegal, extremely scarce research funds .. someone should make Italian institutions aware that delaying innovation here won't stop it globally. Just like you explain to a kid that he doesn't become invisible by simply closing his eyes.
