I married my non-economist wife ~13 yrs ago. We moved from MT to Chicago to CO. We're raising two beautiful kids.

She's seen my best... and my worst.

But, the other day, she said, "I just want to know the counterfactual!" in regular conversation.

That's love. Deep, deep love.

🚨📣Given that my LinkedIn network doesn't fully overlap with here, I wanted to share (repeat) some big career news. This summer, I'm moving to Penn State.

It is a great offer professionally, but it is truly equal parts "whole family" move and job opportunity move.

Hugely updated draft of my paper with @BhagwatVineetb, @marinaniessner and Chukwuma Dim. If you saw an earlier draft, this version is much better. Check out Vineet's thread for more details.

Excited to keep improving this research with LLMs as a lens into financial markets.

[Vineet Bhagwat @BhagwatVineetb]

New paper w/ @prof_cookson @marinaniessner & Chukwuma Dim on using LLMs to measure investor disagreement. The basic question: can we capture how differently people react to the same financial news, at scale? 🧵 1/10

So glad I got to see “The Touchdown” live.

[Montana State Football @MSUBobcats_FB]

The Touchdown.

#BobcatBuilt

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

This is such a huge moment in my world.

I'm one of the thousands of fans who is going crazy in the background when this catch was made.

Here’s my view of Taco Dowler’s OT touchdown.

@malcolmwardlaw It is clear.

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

@israelsen Oh, no, you reminded me of a coauthor who has "Ben" in his name, but not his first name...

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

I currently have too many "Ben"s in my life.

One Ben coauthor; I'm discussing a paper at ASSA by two different Bens. Yet another Ben is discussing a paper of mine next week. To top it all off, the team who rebuilt our deck had 3 Bens on it.

For at least one journal submission system out there, if you ask a referee to review a paper on Thanksgiving eve, the automatically populated deadline is Christmas eve.

'tis the season

@alz_zyd_ I'm making a mental note ...

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

Big game in my world.

A thing I recently learned is that overworking seems pretty bad for your health. For most of my 20's I was working 60-70 hour weeks regularly. I was otherwise pretty healthy, food/sleep/exercise wise, no bad habits, but around 29/30 I was getting sick once every few weeks

@emollick Once you prompt, you can't stop.

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

@Jabaluck Seems fishy.

[Tony Cookson @prof_cookson]

@RemyLevin This is a great comment! Would you like me to catalog the reasons you're tired?

@alz_zyd_ @alexolegimas "That's such a blanket statement."

@alexolegimas Not much more than an empty bar. It takes a while to get the form & depth.

Now my 1rm is around 170. Nothing spectacular, but last week, I was doing sets of 5 with a 2 count pause at the bottom. Nothing like it.
