A striking fact: in the 19th century, the internal migration rate of whites in the United States was at least three times higher than in other countries.

@evanrobertsnz@wagonweill 1850, 1860, and 1870 Decennial Census had questions on wealth, usually obtained from county clerks and tax assessors. You can find the state-level data on NHGIS.
@raven_cheslav Про это Дельфинов любимый хорошие стихи написал:
Яйца накрасили луковой шелухой,
Свечки зажгли, вился дым, а народ дивился,
И царь-то у нас лихой, и новый храм не плохой,
И пономарь не бухой, и страна с ядерной сохой,

@k_wandschneider@PMoserEcon has a great class that does exactly that, here is the syllabus: https://t.co/KtgWEUPhpf. These papers were all originally in Stata but we replicated their main results in R.
@tonysilveti@heidiann360 Second this. Full support of Latex, a very nice app, and you can work with the WYSIWYG interface or define figures with code. It's great.
Judging by Varanya's book, this should be very good. I know $400 is a lot. If you can't afford it, at least buy and read The Little Book of Research Writing, it's awesome.

@sumlenny Guess what: you can leave Russia and still be a moron.
In 2008, while living in Berlin (and working for Expert), you supported the Russian invasion of Georgia and claimed that the territories annexed by Russia had gone through genocide. https://t.co/5RylIS1mNG
@duruticolumn может быть я притягиваю — но вся эта оторванность от народа, "высокие зарплаты", "космополитизм" это знакомая, теплая ламповая риторика от которой меня например тошнит
@duruticolumn Потому что Вахштайн назван по фамилии, а анонимный друг анонимного автора – по городу Саратову, например. Там в тексте еще про космополитизм, а это слово от русскоязычного автора у меня имеет ровно одну ассоциацию.
В общем, неясно, кто еще кому должен пояснять за коммуникации.
Let's discuss the way an army dresses. Look at the emblem on a Russian uniform. Do you see the stitching? That's bad. That's real bad. It means Russia CANNOT win!
To understand why we need to go back to Catherine the Great and the emergence of the 'Russian style' dress.🧵(1/879)
In January 2021, four editors of a student newspaper told students about their right to protest in an Instagram story.
For the past year, they have been under house arrest with prison trackers on their ankles and an absurd kafkaesque trial.
Please read and share.
Hi, I'm Armen Aramyan, founding editor of @doxajournal, and I've spent the last 12 months under house arrest due to a criminal investigation. My colleagues and I face up to 3 years in a Russian prison for a short video that we recorded in January 2021. Here's our story. THREAD 🧵
@sasha_trub I am really, really looking forward to the "printable map of Europe" one day. Understand why doing this pro bono stuff is not your priority though.

@evanrobertsnz@ipumsi Great point! For Canada-1871, I calculated the share of people who did not live in their Province of birth, it's 4.08 % (using IPUMS-International sample). I hesitated to include it because it's based only on 4 provinces that CAN had at the time:
