Hi #EconTwitter! 📈

Looking for some excellent #econometrics lecture notes?

Herman Bierens (@penn_state) has written a lot of great material, covering undergrad, panel data, time series, semi- & nonparametric #econometrics. 📚

His @penn_state webpage is down, but you can access everything via the Wayback Machine (thanks @user93429 for pointing this out)! 👇

Herman is an amazing econometrician—don't miss out!⭐️

These are the kids of my Ukrainian friend hiding from russian rockets in the bathroom at 5am in Kyiv. The explosions terrify them, so the kids are praying. But we as a free world need to do more to protect them!

The price Ukrainians are pay for their freedom. A family of two, Andriy and Alina. Andriy lost both hands, eyes, and partially hearing, protecting Ukraine from the russian invasion.

During our conversation, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis @kmitsotakis and I discussed ways to expand the security space in the Black Sea, as well as protect the frontlines and all of our cities, including Odesa. Ukraine requires more air-defense systems.

We were also briefed on the operation of the grain corridor and the security situation in the Black Sea. It is critical to strengthen the security of the port infrastructure.

We also spoke with the military command about the current situation in the Odesa region and on the southern frontline, as well as measures to counter the Russian fleet.

I am grateful to Greece for assisting our state and society in protecting life.

Diana Savita Wagner, call sign "Snake", a 36-year-old German citizen and International Legion volunteer, died for Ukraine. She was a combat medic in the Carpathian Sich 49th Infantry Battalion.

Diana moved to Ukraine before the full-scale war began, she learnt to speak Ukrainian and applied for Ukrainian citizenship.

"Diana Wagner gained eternal life on the battlefield, saving wounded Colombian soldiers of the Ukrainian army. We are grateful to you, our dear, for your care, heroism, and saving the lives of the soldiers. The Ukrainian nation will always remember you. We will not surrender!" her comrade-in-arms Ruslan Andriiko wrote.

Eternal glory and eternal memory to the Heroine. Ukraine is eternally grateful for your sacrifice.

⚡️HBO drops pro-Kremlin actor Bikovic from The White Lotus cast after Ukraine's condemnation.

HBO terminated its contract with Serbian-Russian actor Milos Bikovic for a role in an upcoming season of the White Lotus series a week after Ukraine called out the television network over his casting, sources told the Deadline media outlet on Feb. 2.

Bikovic has worked in Russia for over a decade and was granted Russian citizenship by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The actor has repeatedly justified Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and has not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Good news. The one we have been waiting for. Today, we were able to free 207 more Ukrainians from Russian captivity. 180 privates and sergeants. 27 officers.

Almost half of them are Mariupol defenders. Armed Forces, National Guard, Border Guard, and National Police — 207 Ukrainians will soon be reunited with their loved ones. 207 happy families.

I am confident that the freed captives are already calling home to hear the most important words. I am glad our efforts are paying off. This was the 50th prisoner exchange since the full-scale war began. In total, 3035 Ukrainians have been returned. And we will make every effort to return each and every one. We have not forgotten about anyone.

18 years ago, on January 27, the last of 60 Ukrainian Tu-22M3 bombers and 423 Kh-22 missiles were destroyed in Poltava as part of the agreement "On the Elimination of Strategic Nuclear Weapons." Instead, Ukraine was promised security guarantees.

Calling all scholars who want to go beyond teaching experimental methods as a "greatest hits" course. I have secured funding for a summer school to cover experimental economics: theory and practice. This is a week long course and if you need funding this will not be a constraint.

This week is for anyone, not just economists. Yet, it will be expansive: we will traverse 20 chapters in my new textbook over 4 days, then you will present your project on the 5th day. The book is meant for PhD/Masters courses, but I have found that advanced undergrads can handle the content.

You can find more details here (including teachers and how to sign up):
