Remember the "Highlights" that some Elsevier journals require? Dean Karlan and friends developed an amazing way to troll them: haikus!
A super cool paper got an update and it is pretty striking that the conclusion got even more support. A great thread by one of the authors.
Eva Vivalt@evavivalt.bsky.social · 2y agoWe recently added several analyses to our paper on the employment effects of a $1000/month guaranteed income. 🚨 These new analyses include, for the first time, administrative data on income and employment and results for marriage/ divorce and benefits, among other outcomes. Read on for results! 1/
Just watched the whole 2h. Highly recommended to all who are interested in Experimental Economics.
John A. List@johnlist.bsky.social · 2y agoFor those who want to jump to the frontier in select areas of economics, the AEA has posted the webcasts of this year’s continuing lectures. Thanks much to @lawrencekatz.bsky.social for his leadership and vision in assembling these lectures. www.aeaweb.org/conference/w...
Empirical evidence sometimes will change your mind. This paper did, for me. With Alicia De Quinto, we studied the long-term effects of a policy that allowed parents to work part-time until their youngest child turned 6. Many women took it up. I thought (1/3) doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

I fully agree with Ben and hope we will see a change.
Ben Golub@bengolub.bsky.social · 2y agoIn economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus. As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees. 1/
🚨 Christmas WP Alert 🚨 New study explores the causal impact of correcting misperceived gender norms on mothers' employment attitudes and expectations. Using a field experiment with German mothers of young children, we find three key results: 📄👇 #EconSky
I guess (field) experiments will be spared from this. At least for a while.
Ethan Mollick@emollick.bsky.social · 2y agoResearchers used AI to generate 288 complete academic finance papers predicting stock returns, complete with plausible theoretical frameworks & citations. Each paper looks and reads as legit. They did this to show how easy it now is to mass produce "credible" research. Academia isn't ready.
I could use some advice! I don’t often write recommendation letters for German students applying to PhD programmes in the US. Any tips, things to watch out for, or resources you’d recommend? #Econsky

Super cool JMP and given its results one can only imagine what Internet access does to women's empowerment.
Felix Rusche@felixrusche.bsky.social · 2y agoGender norms are extremely persistent and constrain women's life opportunities, especially so in poor countries. In my Job Market Paper, I show that grassroots media are an effective policy instrument to address gender norms at scale. #EconJMP #EconSky

Very good question and a lot of insightful answers.
Seema Jayachandran@seema.bsky.social · 2y agoQuestion about std errors: In an RCT, treated people are randomly assigned to "pods" and interact (e.g., treatment = WhatsApp group membership). The norm (e.g. Cai-Szeidl) is to cluster on indiv for control group + on pod for treatment group. Why is clustering needed if any ICC is due to treatment?
Ok guys here's the point. Diff in Diff is a model based assumption that identifies the ATT (unless you're using random timing of rollouts, but almost noone is). It is model-based because you make assumptions to identify the OUTCOME MODEL in the *absence* of the treatment. 1/
apoorva lal@apoorvalal.com · 2y agoDDDiD: Don't do difference in differences (w obs data). DiD is a (bad) weighting estimator and is almost always strictly dominated by better ones Maybe now that Guido is saying it, people will listen files.constantcontact.com/668faa28001/...
In economics he would be on Round 4 of his Econometrica R&R for his job market paper, being urged to more comprehensively integrate the perspectives of his critics.

I’m a Postdoc @UniKonstanz, currently visiting UniChicago. I work on gender norms, labor supply, discrimination, and school closures. If you're working on any of these areas, let me know so that I can follow you. If you're in Chicago and interested in grabbing coffee, please get in touch. #Econsky
