To set the record straight, Card “ran” no such “class” at Berkeley.

One more observation on this year's Nobel Prize ... and the impact of David Card

David Card ran a PhD replication econometrics class at Berkeley and that's where all the "famous feuds" originated:
1) Rothstein vs Hoxby
2) Albouy vs Acemoglu-Johnson-Robinson
3) McCrary vs Levitt

*Two* WPs on immigrant legalization out this week! The 1st (w/ @ethanglewis and M. Zhang) looks at whether a prominent proxy for status in survey data can detect the legalization of 2 million Mexicans under the “Reagan Amnesty.” TL;DR: It can't. 1/n nber.org/papers/w32632

My daughter was just looking for an old CD for a school project. She found what appeared to be a blank one in my dusty collection; I suggested that we listen to it first. Turns out it was John Dinardo singing "My Little Regression Discontinuity".
