1/n ⚠️⚠️ how to use github and dropbox for economists. Economists are now told, for good reason, that if we use AI for research code, we should also use GitHub.
That advice is right. But the way many economists actually work creates a trap.
Most projects still live in Dropbox.
The department of economics and the school of government at di tella have open positions for economists. Any field, any rank. If interested please write me or write to [email protected]

I feel that this is a very common experience, not just for grad students. Even if you have the fortune of publishing in those top outlets there's no guarantee of repeated success and pressure to do it again and again can be more nerve-wracking than doing it in the first place.
To maintain sanity, you want to keep in mind is that 'top' is definitionally scarce. If someone published a foolproof guide to writing QJE papers and everyone started using it, editors would just raise standards until only 4% got in again. Otherwise the QJE would stop being 'top' and becomes just another journal.
Same with NBA spots or platinum albums - the exclusivity is the point. Most good economists never hit top-5s, and most good basketball players never make the NBA. In any creative realm, doing 'top' work will always be difficult and rare by definition.
@LturcoLeon Con todos los vinos alta gama de Argentina pasa lo mismo. Márgenes altos donde el producto es reconocido, precios agresivos donde no lo es. Entre otras explicaciones por supuesto.
En relación a esta excelente nota a martin uribe (con la que comparto 100%), vale la pena recordar el articulo que escribimos para pensar el cepo de forma estilizada. Es imperioso levantarlo! https://t.co/fXeRU8FR6N https://t.co/kqzZPLI6Yl
Va hilo sobre debate en torno a Mercado Libre (MELI), Ley de Economía del Conocimiento (LEC) y subsidios. Defino subsidio de modo amplio como todo incentivo que el gob le da a una empresa o sector y lo aparta de las condiciones generales de funcionamiento del resto de la economía
Por fin @anlopez1962 se decidió a escribir sobre los subsidios a Mercado Libre y a la Economía del Conocimiento. Alguien que piensa bien y que conoce como pocos el tema! No se consigue en otros hilos!!
Honrando la italianidad de la @utditella. Una entrevista en italiano y español sobre el primer mes de la presidencia de @JMilei con @peguidotti@micheleboldrin. Hablamos de ajuste, desregulación, política, Davos, etc.

@PiliDevoto Yo hice lo segundo en UTDT con la OI del gran Leandro Arozamena. Saque la nota más alta del curso (cosa que a nadie más que a mi le importa). Sirvió para algo? No. Lo haría de nuevo? Obvio

Why Javier Milei? What does he propose? Can he implement his proposals?

Every year at the UC system I spend hours of online training against different forms of harassment and subconscious biases. I expect consistency by UC authorities, because this is very a very blunt form of harasment.
