Hi #Econtwitter, I'd like to share the slides from the PhD Applied Econometrics course I just had the privilege to teach at @AreBerkeley

Regression & causality, selection on observables, panel data, IV, RDD --- usual topics but hopefully in a modern way

A disqualifying line on a candidate's CV.
The goal of an academic is to contribute to society's thriving, not destruction.

Political scientists and economists: we're looking for researchers with deep expertise to come work with us for a unique 4-month fellowship at @AnthropicAI. You'll work closely with us to evaluate, improve, and apply Claude's capabilities in your field. It's going to be extremely fun and interesting work, and definitely worth taking a short leave from your university for if you need to!

I asked Opus and Suno to turn my article on the "China shock" narrative into a song. It's a brave new world.

A new draft of our paper "Understanding Migration Responses to Local Shocks"
➡️ We show conventional regressions in the literature are misspecified
➡️ We propose theory-consistent specifications for the impacts of both observed and counterfactual shocks

🚨Understanding Migration Responses to Local Shocks

New version of paper with @borusyak and Brian Kovak!

1/6 Many papers find that local labor demand shocks have sizable effects on wages and employment, but surprisingly small or imprecise effects on local population.

I find it so strange that everyone in the profession cheers to researchers leaving for AI labs.

That both reflects and generates prestige for such moves, which is quite inappropriate in my view -- and I can't be the only one.

@daveholtz @OpenAI Collaborating with the AI labs at such a high level is directly contributing to their reckless creation of risks for humanity. I'm sorry to hear you've chosen this path.
