@d_zambiasi @BeatrizGietner Thank you @BeatrizGietner and @d_zambiasi!

I like to refer to empirical economics as "applied epistemology" :)

Looking to hire a talented and dedicated econometrician? I highly recommend @nadjavanthoff. We collaborated with @lewbel on "LiM and the CC-LATE", now R&R at @restatjournal. In her JMP, Nadja develops novel identification results for settings with non-binary, ordered treatments.

Yes. That is like saying some language or system is Turing complete and can compute almost anything. True, but that is setting a pretty low bar...

@instrumenthull This is amazing. Love "stastickly significant" at 2:10. Until then, I would have been completely fooled that those were humans.

Here’s a challenge for you.

If Y,X_1,…,X_n are IID uniform on (0,1) then

(X_1…X_n)^{1-Y^{1/(n-1)}}

is also uniform on (0,1) !
