Honored to be an invited speaker for the first time at the HSI–Young JADE Joint Conference, hosted by Hitotsubashi University. Great to see so many young development economists doing fieldwork worldwide.

I even traveled to Thai villages to understand how people manage so-called temptation consumption 🎯
Using excluded peers as IVs, we find stronger peer effects for visible goods—likely driven by social norms.

[Southern Economic Journal @SouthernEconJ]

.@yating_chuang of @AcadSinica examines peer effects on self-control problems by constructing a theoretical model to describe how peer networks influence consumption behaviors through social norms.

Not too much goin' on today, so I thought I'd tell you about a new paper just published in @NEJMEvidence, w/ @metrics52, @carolxmgao, and @rwyeh

We explain why instrumental variable (IV) methods are essential for randomized trials of medical interventions that fail to play out as intended (i.e., with imperfect treatment takeup & control group crossover)

In an application to the landmark ISCHEMIA trial, these methods show that the benefits of revascularization on quality of life are 46% higher than what a conventional "intentions-based" analysis would suggest

Check it out! https://t.co/0Aw9gVQbBA

I am oftentimes asked to give advice on how best to partner with organizations to do science. In my experience, a key hurdle to overcome with organizational partners is that in nearly every case they argue that it is too costly. My response?

The real cost of science within organizations is not the resource outlays, it is the opportunity cost of not doing it.

For those interested, I summarized some tips years ago in a study titled: Why Economists Should Conduct Field Experiments and 14 Tips for Pulling One Off.

Last semester, I organised an informal seminar at UCL sharing my experience & tips for securing research grant / planning an own survey as a PhD student.

I updated the slides for public sharing. I hope this will be helpful, esp. for devo students!

Unbundling college: Causal returns to US college majors, minors, and extracurriculars.

An audit study of seniors' first-job search, with Carolina Bussotti, John Nunley, and Alan Seals.

We find: majors matter, zero returns to minors, positive returns to extracurriculars.

New working paper:
*Collective bargaining and spillovers in local labor markets*

After decades of increasing inequality, we need institutions that increase worker bargaining power. How can sectoral collective bargaining help us? 1/12

It's great to be back to Taylor Hall with the whole family. My first baby listened to many seminars in this building when she was in my belly!

Hey friends, I am doing my sabbatical for a semester at AAE, UW-Madison. Let's have fun and be productive!! 😀

[Yating Chuang @yating_chuang]

@JoeOyewumi @NUSingapore Thanks for your interests! Unfortunately, there is no travel grant for this conference (maybe I could suggest for the future organizers). However, I believe you may find different sources for supporting this cause.

[Yating Chuang @yating_chuang]

🚨 Submit your development papers! The BREAD Asia Conference on Development Economics is Dec 19-20, 2024, at @NUSingapore! 🌏✨ Excited to be part of the committee. Submission deadline: Aug 16, 2024, 11:59pm ET.
