The new Doctor @mpplotkin @ubcVSE Felicitaciones Pascu ! 👏🎉🎊

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

Exciting professional news: I'll be joining @BUQuestrom as an AP after a postdoc at @CEMFInews!

I’m forever grateful to the @ubcVSE community—esp. my advisors Thomas Lemieux, @raffaelesaggio, @claudferraz & @sambnorris—and thrilled to join the fantastic group of scholars at BU!

We also propose a method for constructing uniformly valid confidence sets when all variables are discrete and discuss its (multiple) limitations.

[ezequiel smucler @hazqiyal]

We establish several impossibility results. In particular, we show that if the model allows the integral equation to be arbitrarily ill-posed, Wald confidence intervals are not asymptotically uniformly valid, and uniformly consistent estimators do not exist.

[ezequiel smucler @hazqiyal]

Very happy to share this new paper written with Jamie and Andrea. We study the construction of uniformly valid confidence sets for a class of parameters that includes estimands from instrumental variables models and proximal causal inference.

The job market has wrapped up and I'm heading to Dallas! 🤠
I have accepted an offer to join the fantastic group at @SMUCox as an Assistant Professor of Finance. Huge thanks to my advisors, friends, and family for their support. Super excited for this new chapter! #econtwitter

Thanks to @ElianaCarranza and @WorldBank for highlighting my #JobMarketPaper on the winners and losers in the gig economy. My research explores the impact of delivery platforms on workers and businesses in Brazil. Check out the blog! 🌍👇

I’m excited to be on the job market this year! My job market paper studies the trade-offs of technologies that transform the composition of labor while allowing firms to expand their markets. I focus on a technology growing worldwide: online-delivery platforms.

[Valentina Rutigliano @valentinaruts]

New research on motherhood and entrepreneurship! We know children impact women’s careers, but in entrepreneurship, the effects are even more far-reaching. Here’s why that matters👇 #EconJobMarket

7/9: I was repeatedly reassured that my luggage would arrive directly to Vancouver and that I shouldn't worry. However, (not) shockingly my lugagge never made it to Vancouver.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

6/9: At 1am, someone from customer service proceeded to help us out. We were given a 12USD voucher for food (which in DFW gets you ~ 2 sodas) and assigned to a @Delta flight the next morning to Vancouver through Minneapolis. We spent the night sleepless at Dallas airport.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

5/9: We spent 3 hours in the queue trying to get someone to help us, mostly due to the fact that for most of the time, there was only 1 person helping the more than 200 people that were in the same situation.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

4/9: We arrived at Dallas at 9pm and the response from American Airlines, was that we should to go to the customer service desk to re-schedule a new flight.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

3/9: Our flight from Orlando to Dallas was delayed approximately 3 hours due to maintance issues which made us lose our connection from Dallas to Vancouver (originally we had ~ 2 hours in Dallas, so under normal circunstances we would have had more than enough time to make it).

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

2/9: With 2 friends we were returning from London to Vancouver with layovers in Orlando and Dallas. These flights were (1) BA 2037, (2) AA1324 & (3) AA 1149.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

9/9: This is just terrible customer service from @AmericanAir. Delays can happen but this type of response is just unacceptable and disrespectful. At this point, I am still awaiting to hear from the airline about where my luggage is and when it will be delivered.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

8/9: Even worst, the lugagge claim support desk at YVR said that American Airlines never included my lugagge in the system and so they don't even know in which airport my checked bags are.

[Pascuel Plotkin @mpplotkin]

1/9: I never post these things but travelling with American Airlines has been a nightmare: I am deeply frustrated and disappointed with the recent experiences I've had with @AmericanAir and it just went a bit too far. #PaxEx #AATeam #AmericanAirlines
