We have a beautiful literature on experiments with interference between units but what if thereโs interference between experimenters? Estimands change and in a way we can understand and unpack. I hope you enjoy this one! ๐

๐กโญ๏ธTake a look at the year's fantastic line-up of the Structural Microeconometrics Workshop at the @bse_barcelona#SummerForum, organized by @JoanLlull_econ and myself.
Happy to say I'm starting on as a Co-Editor at @QME_Journal.
I think it is a great journal that has published many high quality influential papers at the intersection of quantitative marketing and economics, so I'm really excited to be a part of it.
A few thoughts:
