I'm a little biased, but I really like this paper. When I first heard the results, I immediately bought an air-quality monitor and HEPA air purifier.

Always a great conference!

Just finished reading The Book of Why by Judea Pearl. A very interesting read. I already cover some of Pearl’s work in my grad econometrics class -- it may be time to add a little more! Next book up for me: The Lady Tasting Tea.

Just finished reading The Lady Tasting Tea by David Salsburg, a light and enjoyable history of statistics and statisticians. It gives some nice background to the evolution of statistics (e.g. Fisher v. Neyman-Pearson testing) as well as plenty early 20thcentury statistics gossip!

I'm excited to start as an editor at Real Estate Economics. Looking forward to reading some great papers in 2024!

Just finished reading Streets of Gold by Abramitzky and Leah Boustan. As an economist, immigrant, (and fan of MythBusters), I really enjoyed this myth-busting tale of immigration written by economists.

Discussed a paper by Alex Bell, Stephen Billings, Sophie Calder-Wang, and Shusheng Zhong at NBER Real Estate today. It’s an exciting, very novel paper showing a new way to identify and estimate hedonic price functions using an "anti-IV"!
