Opinionated Latex table tip: You should output only the body of the table in R/Stata and do everything else in latex. This makes it simple to set up multicols, alignment, footnotes, etc. without trying to learn all the stata/R options.

Introducing stata2r.github.io w Nick HK and Grant McDermott https://bsky.app/profile/gmcd.bsy Hopefully makes the Stata -> R pipeline much easier. - data-wrangling with {data.table} - regression analysis with {fixest} These packages are blazingly fast 🏃🏻💨, highly powerful 💪🏻😎, and flexible 👌✨

I’ve finally finished the first draft of the chapter on DID estimators, including all the recent developments around staggered DID designs, for my online book « Statistical Tools of Causal Inference »: chabefer.github.io/STCI/NE.html#d… A thread on what’s inside 👇🧵

Hey #econtwitter, Chris Conlon and I just released version 0.13.0 of PyBLP, our Python package for BLP-style differentiated products demand estimation. Code: github.com/jeffgortmaker/… Docs: pyblp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ Paper: jeffgortmaker.com/files/pyblp.pdf What's new? 1/9

Despite the promise of #AI to transform work, why do so many companies struggle to actually adopt AI in practice? In a new Harvard Business Review article, Rebecca Karp and I show the importance of strategic pacing and give practical steps for successful AI rollouts: hbr.org/2022/08/find-t…

How will markets react to the FOMC conference tmrw? While the Chair’s press conference typically reinforces the market’s read of the FOMC statement, Namrata Narain and I find a break in the pattern recently: Chair Powell’s latest conferences tend to go the other way. 1/ #econtwitter

Come work with me! I'm hiring a full-time pre-doc for summer 2023. We'll work together on projects studying the criminal justice system. Time will be split with Jamie McCasland, who has some exciting projects in development and PE. Details: economics.ubc.ca/research/resea… Econ RA Listings

An important initiative by Tatiana that helps aspiring econ PhD students with some crowdsourced advice on grad school. Any voluntary donations from purchasing this e-book will support the victims of the war. @TDeryugina thank you for your work on this! Grateful to contribute.

Where should I look for survey data on perceptions of crime in the US? I'm interested in questions like "is crime getting worse in your community?" and want it going back as far as possible—since 1945 ideally!

Namrata Narain and my recent analysis on market reactions to Fed press conferences in the The Wall Street Journal ! Let's see if Chair Powell bucks the trend today :) wsj.com/livecoverage/f…

That’s a wrap on BOMSI ‘23, the Behavioral Operations Management Summer Institute for doctoral students at Harvard Business School. Steve Leider and Jordan Tong are the best co-conspirators imaginable, and the future of our field is bright! INFORMS @PomsSociety #bom

Updated version of our "micro BLP" paper! My earlier thread (x.com/jeff_gortmaker…) summarizes some of the key points.

Three graphs on why rising costs create disproportionate inflation for low-income households (many thanks Richard Baldwin and VoxEU for covering!)

Folks, there is no bottom here. Florian Ederer Of course! Quick summary: Markups are (roughly) how much retailers charge above cost. If a retailer buys a pack of Oreos for $1 and sells it for $1.25, that's a 25% markup. There's a large body of evidence that markups (in retail and beyond) have been rising for several decades

Excited to teach this workshop! It combines what I've learned from teaching demand estimation and Python to doctoral students, fielding PyBLP questions from users in academia/government/industry, and my own research with Chris Conlon. Check it out: mixtapesessions.io/session/demand…

Hey #EconTwitter, I'm on the job market with a paper about open source software. OSS is a global public good, widely used and provided by the private sector, but the target of recent industrial policy. Paper: jeffgortmaker.com/files/Open_Sou… 1/
