This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock

Seeing responses to this exam question is a real eye-opener on the election...

[Carlos Góes @goescarlos]

I really like @GiuliaLoForte's JMP. It takes theory+identification seriously to help motivate/inform aggregate effects, which is a micro+macro combo that I also tried to do in my JMP. In coming years, follow @hmitchell_14's work on well identified growth effects of mkt access.

@vedant_vohra How do I get a computer that's processing a bunch of images that this dashed line is actually one line, and potentially change its color

[Harrison Mitchell @hmitchell_14]

Any of my followers know how someone could convert dashed lines (not straight) from an image into solid lines? Or at least recognize the object as a single line?

@AaronsJosh Whichever one finishes faster is the real winner tomorrow

@scaredystorms It’s at least nice to see one of my distractions from our covid tennis sessions came to something

[Harrison Mitchell @hmitchell_14]

First paper acceptance whoop whoop. Just accepted at European Economic Review, with a great set of co-authors

[Harrison Mitchell @hmitchell_14]

It started as a short paper and we filled it out. One of the additions was my fav figure from the paper: we show that yes migrants were hit hard by covid, but also non-migrant hh’s in mig dependent communities were exposed to the shock, more so than mig hh’s from low dep places

Life comes at your fast: I just caught myself making the exact same joke my ECON 1 professor made to my class during an exam review session

@sadBusdriver Which two did you get right?

[Harrison Mitchell @hmitchell_14]

@GCanedoRiedel Just go hang out with some of the first years if you’re missing it
