But can we test this quantitatively?

This paper does so – read more ⬇️ 🧵

The Rømer scale is superior to Fahrenheit and Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate. (1/13)

New working paper 🚨

With Torben Johansen and @ChristianVedel

It's on a methodological issue that we think is crucial for the discipline of economic history:

Whenever we use machine learning tools in our workflow, they can introduce structural bias.

So, what should we do?

[Julius Koschnick @JuliusKoschnick]

Alongside this, the paper surveys how the field already uses these tools and gives concrete guidance on model choice, digitization, and reproducibility. We think this is really useful advice. I'll do a couple of posts on these in the coming weeks.
