My latest working paper is out at NBER! Woohoo!

I'm ecstatic that my paper on cleaning up the Great Lakes is finally out, after all these years. I'm so grateful that I got to work on this project with Robyn Meeks and Michael Moore. Great coauthors make all the difference, and these two have taught me so much!

First EconTwitter Tweet: I just realized that the rule of thumb of 42 being a reasonable number of clusters is actually a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy joke from Mostly Harmless Econometrics. 😆 #EconTwitter
