This reanalysis finds that variation in findings results from theoretical / interpretive differences. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.

Clean coding was always about collaborating with others, including your future self. Now others include GitHub Copilot. Use proper function signatures and good function and variable names, and Copilot will be better able to help you. As soon as I entered `if`, Copilot could fill in the rest.
