Just don't! So much of my econometrics class is spent un-doing common misconceptions like this.
Normality of errors is not needed
Heteroskedasticity is not a problem for bias
Multicollenearity is not a problem for bias
Excited to share our new study in @ESR_news: @A_B_Andersson and I analyze how social networks contribute to class divides in attitudes to economic inequality, expanding on our previous work on Sweden with a country-comparative perspective using the @ISSP_survey.
Curious about how peoples’ social ties to different class positions shape their attitudes to income inequality, and how this varies by country and institutional context?

How does the birth lottery shape your life?
@pengzell and @HallstenMartin get into the weeds about what sibling comparisons reveal – and what they don't!

New at Nature Human Behaviour w/ Esping-Andersen, Pintro-Schmitt & @PFallesen: The intergenerational persistence of poverty (the link between poverty in childhood vs. adulthood) is 4x stronger in the US than in Denmark and 2x stronger than in UK/AUS. Why? https://t.co/LcK9Wx6aL2
We are very pleased to share that our researcher @MaxThaning from @SOFI_su_se has been awarded a generous research grant that will see him taking forward learnings and perspectives from the rEUsilience project through his future work.

What happens to political attitudes when entire occupations disappear? SOFI's Orsa Kekezi is contributing to a new @forteforskning -funded project led by Johannes Lindvall (@goteborgsuni). The study explores how the disappearance of entire professions affects political attitudes.

I am honored and happy to receive the @forteforskning Starting Grant for my project on Origins and Opportunities. I will now spend the coming years working on how (childhood) income inequality is related to educational opportunities and mobility.
The Inequality Podcast starts the academic year with a conversation between @sndurlauf and @MilesCorak. They discuss the Great Gatsby Curve, mechanisms behind intergenerational persistence, and comparisons between the U.S. and Canada.
