Local projections are surprisingly robust to misspecification. By contrast, VAR confidence intervals with short-to-moderate lag length can severely undercover for misspecification that is small, difficult to detect, and cannot be ruled out a priori.

Some news: This week I am starting at @GoogleDeepMind as Director of AGI Economics on @shanelegg’s team. I will be joining the other amazing cross-disciplinary scientists researching AGI there.

My team will study how frontier AI could reshape the economy: what happens to work and labor, how wealth and power are distributed, how institutions adapt, how AI agents shape markets, and what kinds of models can help us reason clearly about futures that may look very different from the past. I’m incredibly excited to help build this research agenda.

If AGI changes how society operates, economics is going to be critical for shaping our shared future. Many more announcements soon.

🎓 ¡Nos llena de orgullo compartir que seis egresados del Magíster en Economía UC fueron admitidos en programas de doctorado en algunas de las universidades más prestigiosas del mundo!

Interesting debate here. RCTs and macro dev do not need to be substitutes as we can often combine RCTs with observational data for counterfactuals.

It connects to our recent WP about experimental design/choosing informative experiments in these settings https://t.co/xcwkUifVEc

Spring comes with good news: I’ll start my PhD in Economics at Princeton University! This was a dream—now real: projects with friends and my PI, campus walks with professors, IO workshops building ideas. These two years showed me this is my community—and I want more of it😊

Very happy to see this paper on estimating dynamic treatments over time in print in Biometrika, joint work with Jelena Bradic link:

1/ At long last, we are ready to share a revision of my 2023 paper on Austrian capital theory and global value chains. I say “we”, because the current draft is joint work with the great @AdrianPKulesza (G4 at Harvard).

A thread on the paper 🧵👇🏻

[John Grigsby @JohnRGrigsby]

🚨 New working paper 🚨 with @Nathan_Zorzi studies settings where labor demand declines for one set of jobs and rises for another (eg the climate transition, manufacturing —> services etc). How do workers fare when pace of that shift changes? Thread 👇

[Peter Hull @instrumenthull]

Ok, so I come bearing good news for ~93% of you: esp. those bootstraping complex models (e.g. w/many FEs)

Instead of resampling, which can be seen as reweighting by a random integer W that may be zero, you can reweight by a random non-zero non-integer W
