Economics Professor at Brown, studying discrimination, education, healthcare, and applied econometrics. I like IV https://sites.google.com/site/aboutpeterhull/home
So proud to celebrate my father, Josh Angrist, at his Festschrift -- a gathering of people and presentations in honor of his career and legacy. He has influenced so many: generations of Angrists and a rockstar student family tree. An impressive array of causal effects!
Day-long nerd-fest at MIT in honor of the life and work of Josh Angrist, my grad school advisor A wonderful turnout of Josh’s colleagues, students, grandstudents, great-grandstudents…

Very excited for this Friday's Chamberlain Online Seminar, where we'll muse about "The Future of Econometrics." Check out this panelist lineup! Friday 3/27 at Noon ET. Come see! t.co/pE1gZCMI7a
Price counterfactuals can be nonparametrically identified without exogenous product characteristics, given exogenous shocks to prices, from Kirill Borusyak, Jiafeng Chen, @instrumenthull.bsky.social, and Lihua Lei www.nber.org/papers/w34842
New paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár on leniency/judge IV designs. This article is targeted for the Journal of Economic Perspectives, and so we wrote it with the goal of being accessible to a wide range of users, including advanced undergrads!🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572
We also show, (as @instrumenthull.bsky.social loves to show!), that UJIVE can be used to assess the compiler characteristics of the leniency design. If the compliers look similar to the full sample on observables, that's evidence your treatment effects may generalize beyond the complier population.

Excited to post a new working paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár: arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572 Will post a thread on it soon, but if you're interested in judge/examiner designs, I think you'll find this guide very helpful!

Zero new jobs in the federal government posted on JOE in the past three weeks. Not surprising given the government shutdown (which began Oct 1), but still grim. At least two-thirds fewer such jobs posted in 2025 than in each of the past six years at this time. #econjobmarket
