Dear @Uber_India ,

Have you seen the loot your partners have doing in small cities like Nagpur airport. They have been collecting parking fees from the customers, despite its been included in the fare. It’s the ruckus they have created, trying to gang up on customers…🤮

If you work with district-level data in India, you expect every cross-section to have new district names. Since Stata's encode resets alphabetically for every file, your numeric codes shift, making merges & appends tricky! As a workaround, I made a package "naam" and it's on SSC!

Depressing to watch the intellectual decay of one of India’s most esteemed academic institutions.

When universities that are meant to foster critical thinking begin censoring scholarship to appease social media bigots, they betray their credibility and claim to academic freedom.

We thank @BBCHindi for covering the inspirational story of our member Shankar. We're all very proud of Shankar for getting a PhD admit in University of California, San Diego 💙

My student, Rubina, is on the market! Besides her excellent job market paper, she's also getting ready to run a field randomizing access to dental treatments. This will both let her test the results in her JMP and study demand for treatments.

Fly her out to hear more!

It is not easy to be a #WomaninScience, particularly in Theoretical Physics. I have had to deal with abuse, harassment, violence, bullying, racism, sexism, depression and micro-aggressions on a daily basis..as have many other women. But giving up is not an option for a scientist.

Very good advice for thesis advisors here. (I would tend more to the usage 'advised' or even 'guided', as opposed to 'supervised', but that's just me.)

Economics Journals as Tennis Tournaments
🧵(for an extremely niche audience)

Quarterly Journal of Economics = Wimbledon

The oldest and most influential event, but also clubby, snobby, and elitist. To win it you must train on a very particular surface/ZIP code.

Can you guess what happened when researchers in Germany gave kids e-readers & access to a large digital library of age-appropriate books?

...

Reading performance went up as a direct result.

But (!) so did math performance.

And (!!) so did socio-emotional well-being.

The number of MITs India has, it’s just preposterous!!
