Can report that Deepseek writes perfectly serviceable referee reports of empirical papers submitted to Management Science. Note, I will still write my own, but you should update accordingly and ask it to provide feedback on your paper prior to submission.

EC 2025 will be held at Stanford from July 7-12. Itai Ashlagi and I are the chairs. The abstract deadline is February 3, and the paper deadline is February 10. The scope is inclusive of many topics across CS, economics, and operations research. Submit your best work!

It's the best time ever to experiment with new coding tools. Coding with o1-preview is very effective for hard research tasks (structural modeling with pyTorch, functions for custom latex tables, computing Hessians). 4o/Claude do well on simpler data cleaning with just a little guidance.

Just a reminder that @gmcd.bsky.social and @kylefbutts.bsky.social have made an incredible public good describing how to use data.table and fixest to encourage moving from Stata to R! stata2r.github.io

Recently read Boom, the new Stripe book about bubbles. It wasn't a great book, but it did give a lens into what areas of academia influence discourse in Silicon Valley. Research in innovation is influential, but research in macro and finance is not. Any theories for why? press.stripe.com/boom

Stripe Press — Boom

A timely investigation of the causes of technological and scientific stagnation, and a radical blueprint for accelerating innovation.

Economics research hot take. We're entering a golden era of structural estimation. Gen AI tools make it so easy to translate models into code and to optimize computation that the formerly painful parts of structural aren't so bad anymore.

Small way in which AI is making me more productive. I asked Google's Bard: "Find all of the uber and lyft receipts using gmail from my recent trips to chicago and toronto" and it successfully retrieved the correct emails. Very impressed.
