Hi #EconTwitter!
To check out --- especially if your a PhD or a junior fellow:
𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 - 2021-2022 edition by Plamen Nikolov!
A great companion to @JohnHCochrane's tips for PhD
students!
DiNardo (2008) defines a natural experiment as a "serendipitous randomized trial" (https://t.co/Q3Pj6r2ng2). In our recentered IV paper (https://t.co/JsBorNOMFy), Kirill and I interpret that as saying you know something about the "design" of observed shocks -- i.e. that you can redraw shock counterfactuals via the natural randomization protocol
DiNardo calls strategies which rely on properties of the unobservables, such as by a parallel trends assumption, "quasi-experiments." These days one might call PT "model-based," to contrast it with the "design-based" approach that does not require any such restrictions (e.g. https://t.co/r5EiGVfTWY)
Twitter is fun because we can promote the work of friends and people we admire!
Today I want to call your attention to a brand new paper by @jondr44 and @jiafengkevinc, available at: https://t.co/YKsxDhFOAm
What is the gist?
Check the abstract!
I can't stress enough how important it is to "create a knowledge gap" when writing an introduction to a paper. I see so many papers that don't give this crucial "selling point" enough attention.
The diff-in-diff literature is plagued with the notion that more controls are always better (as long as the treatment effect has 2 stars). Someone please write a version of this @yudapearl paper aimed at the assumptions & examples of DiD. #EconTwitter

Normally I would not be posting personal developments on this website, but in this case I have a pressing concern. My dad, Spanish economist Andreu Mas-Colell, is dealing with an incredibly difficult and unjust situation. 1/
Any one know good sources of lecture notes for Advanced Micro Theory? I am preparing to teach the grad students micro theory class this fall #EconTwitter
A large-scale US program to detain and deport undocumented immigrants reduced the labor supply of citizens: highly educated women.
The mechanism: reduced access to childcare and other household services.
