siapapun yg kepilih, the whole ship is leaking everywhere. mau ekonom penerima nobel pun gak bkl bisa nutup lubang2 itu. the main problem lies in prabowo himself. it's a leadership failure!
@Zawwaf_@drlrst@sad_muel Lha? Pakai accounting models (model berbasis identitas akuntansi) sebagai dasar ekonometrika justru praktik yg sangat umum & diakui secara ilmiah, dlm makroekonomi or keuangan perusahaan. Diliteratur akademis, pendekatan ini disebut sbg 'Accounting Identity-Based Econometrics'
An Econ PhD student at the 20th ranked program who is working on stuff they are passionate about will have a better job market than one at MIT who's been doing nothing but phd-app-maxxing since undergrad.
People get confused by this because they don't observe *how* successful people came about their insane knowledge bases. It wasn't by relentlessly grinding away at stuff because they had to.
They look at Scott Kominers and say "if i grind and learn as much math as he did, i will be successful." You can't! *You* can't learn as much math as Kominers because he gets energized by configuration results for type ii lattices. You will burn out if you try to do it this way.
You cannot, through grind alone, learn more about the economics of cities than Glaeser, or about how to maximize a value function than Acemoglu.
Research careers are long. Most people give up and stop working on research (graph is share of elite PhD graduates with at least one publication in year X after graduation).
If you're starting a PhD, you're presumably doing it to have a successful 40-year research career. The number one factor in whether that happens is not which program you get into, it's whether you find a research angle that energizes you enough to push through the endless barriers an academic career throws in your path.
This is why a lot of the received wisdom around PhD applications is wrong. If you're 100% consumed by the predoc rat race already, it's going to be a long, hard road ahead.
Obv you still have to do admissions, you should study a lot for the GRE, sigh it seems like taking real analysis is probably worth it.
But spending time on the things that energize you about economics is a no-brainer, whether it's policy, or blogging, or whatever, you gotta do the things that light your fire and make you want to be on this road.
Zane is correct. To get in to an econ PhD, anything other than math classes or econ research is a waste of time. However I think it is sad for our profession that this is the case. Economists who write and spend time with policy makers or industry are much more influential.
Let me fill you on the Avatar the last Airbender issue
- Hundreds of artists worked all through even with the constant fear of losing their jobs
- people were excited because it was going to be on the big screen
- Production is done
- Paramount says nahh guys we are putting on our streaming platform instead
- people filed petitions,…crickets
- In the last 48 hours, an hacker group leaked the whole movie for free
- millions of people have watched it
- the videos have been taken down from X, but people are sharing links to download
- it is everywhere!!!!!
- the only way to come back is for Paramount to release this on the big screen or lose out big time
- it’s so sad to see people’s work just dumped online with no respect to creators, the corporations are evil but please the Animators that worked on this deserve a chance for their work to be shown properly.
