Excited to share a new version of our paper on the effects of the minimum wage on rents with @gaborg and Diego Gentile Passaro.

We received useful feedback in an initial round of refereeing that was the basis for many improvements. A short thread:

“You can’t stop the flow of time. But you can count the costs. And I think a lot of people, for reasons I can’t quite make out, are threatened by the idea of counting the costs when it comes to change. […] Count the costs with me.” https://t.co/JytGF7eTFz

@PHuenermund A bit late on this, but I have a question: in the context of a panel DML model where I am estimating the impact of D_t-1 over Y_t, and I know D_t-1 -> D_t, does including the latter in X cause biased estimates ("mediator" case)?

How do minimum wage policies impact the rental housing market? Do landlords benefit from them?

I'm very excited to share our new WP with @gaborg and Diego Gentile Passaro where we try to answer these questions in the US.

@Jason Damn you’re deep into the Italian rabbit hole! What do you like the most about Italian culture/cuisine/mannerism? @Jason

@Jason @Jason Milan is the only one combining all that. Plus, Italy is not that big. You can be in Tuscany, or Rome in 2/3 hrs.

[Gabriele Borg @gaborg]

@Jason I suspect ppl from the left stopped engaging as many times they see lack of good faith. Now, how do you assess that is a different story. But that’s my feeling.

Where statistics meets politics. I wonder whether using activity patterns based on GPS location data might complement satellite demographic predictions. ⁦@SafeGraph⁩ https://t.co/wQpKykZDBm
