@danilaserra_eco 2nding Percy Jackson and Wings of Fire! My kids ate both of those up. I have even enjoyed reading both too. Both series have a dozen plus books and graphic novels. With Percy Jackson my youngest now knows more Greek methology than me

@ElaineLiuEcon @Wootenomics I'm only teaching principles and a research class. All I have done is change principles to inclass exams that are open note but no technology.

That 2/3 of people in the world's most populous country get food through a public distribution system is a thing economists don't talk about as much as you'd expect.

@JoshGoodman_BU Saying this is as someone who accepts and does almost every referee request and I've never ghosted. But I've been waiting too long for papers lately. Maybe different if someone declines to review, but I think coming up with policy there too helps

[SethGitter @SethGitter]

@JoshGoodman_BU My gut is desk reject if it's really been 3 or more times of accepted a review then ghosted and say it in the letter with the times it has happen. Make a policy. I have no editorial experience & I see a lot of people I respect say it's unethical, would love to hear the thinking

I agree with this article. @AEIecon

"A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact rankings."

Ever wanted to make a map for a paper? I used to think it was hard, then I switched to R! With the sf and tidyverse (well, ggplot) packages, it's super straightforward.

library(sf)
library(tidyverse)

shapefile <- read_sf(LOCATION OF .shp file)
