I’m in today’s New York Times! Honored to have been selected as a @PDSoros Fellow out of the nearly 2,400 applicants. I’ve had the pleasure of having incredible help from so many people and there’s some specific people I would like to thank 1/4
Every time I open this report, I find a new methodological choice to marvel at.
If your model assumes sunshine and rainbows, your result will be sunshine and rainbows.
I find the Paris Saint-Germain construct, controlled by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, deeply unsympathetic and problematic.
And yet, unlike Arsenal, these players play magnificent football. It is a joy to watch.
Can you separate art from the artist?
Our paper “Difference-in-Differences Designs: A Practitioner’s Guide” is now published in the Journal of Economic Literature. It took us a while but we are happy!
We put together a lot of material to make the paper useful in practice: https://t.co/30TbAgihlz
Hope you like!
@friendchristoph I see now how you got 18%. But yes, I’d argue that selling 20% on first day 2 months before the event day and surpassing all records including Taylor Swift train tickets bodes well for them having priced it accurately to demand.
The time has come to raise the housing investment level in this country, just as we did in the 1960s and 1980s.
We have a new report out this morning laying out just how high housing production numbers need to go—and for how many years—to dig us out of the shortage.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10
To put the horror at Brown in some additional context: Providence is exceedingly unused to gun violence. It is a city of almost 200,000 people with only *two* homicides this entire year, until tonight, down from 11 last year.

@florianederer@cesquivea@MiguelDelaney FIFA could have charged more compared to previous world cups to gain the profits that the secondary market had while adding a no-resell (or as you suggested a only sell back for/below face value to fifa clause) which would eliminate scalpers from the lottery
@cesquivea@florianederer@MiguelDelaney Agreed, my willingness to pay for watching a Colombia World Cup game with my dad is only constrained by my ability to pay.
@cesquivea@florianederer@MiguelDelaney Agreed. I will say I wish there was a price for those that won’t resell. Almost like a no refund clause. If I’m lucky to get any of the Colombia group stage games in lottery it does not matter what the secondary market gets to, I won’t sell.
@florianederer@cesquivea@MiguelDelaney While I would have been fine with this. I will say as a Colombian living in the U.S., I knew ticket prices were going to be insane (even the beanpot which is college hockey goes for $100+ here in Boston) I purposely didn’t attend friendlies to save up for WC prices. 🤷🏽♂️
Paul G-P (@paulgp), Michal Kolesár, and I have a new guide to leniency designs (aka judge/examiner IVs), prepared for the JEP
The bottom line? Keep calm and UJIVE on!
I'm thrilled to see my work with Amy Finkelstein and Matthew Gentzkow coming out in @QJEHarvard! I've learned a lot from reading paper threads, and it's exciting to be able to contribute one of my own
