Hi #EconTwitter, I am Manpreet Singh, PhD @PSEinfo . My #EconJMP analyses large renewable capacity auctions, focusing on India. I study 2 issues:
1⃣ Theory: Cost-efficiency of firms selected in India's auction.
2⃣ Empirical: Impact of efficient alternatives on public funds

@S_Maryam8 @za_waheed If both were cheating then why only 'aadmi' is 'besharam'? You should have called out 'aurat' as well!

Bond markets should inform our models of inflation and monetary policy. For now, they don't seem to price 1980s-style "stagflation".

I asked chatGPT to solve Bansal & Yaron (2004) with stochastic vol. The good stuff: fast with readable code. Problems: 1. It used CRRA, not EZ, 2. It did not reduce the problem's dimensionality, 3. The code needed to be debugged before it ran. Not bad! #ChatGPT #EconTwitter
