Thank you Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance for featuring my work on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance! #corpgov

Great stuff 👇

It is super sad to see visionary figures pass. But I am happy the community is celebrating all of the contributions Mike Jensen made to academic finance. He founded the JFE and made it WORK.

Gene Fama has written a great piece here:

Been saying this forever

I'm up to four footnotes. I want to crawl under the couch and hide. 🤣

Interesting family discussion of Overleaf. Husband thinks it was made for 4-page science articles with 50 coauthors. That's why it works very poorly for 121 page R&Rs with 40 tables in 3 different places and cross referenced referee notes. I hate Overleaf.

Misinformation is on a massive rise, and social media platforms are scrambling to figure out what to do about it.

In The Atlantic today, my Harvard University colleague Jesse Shapiro and I offer a surprising answer: 👇👀

Yongchang Su and Xinran Li just came out with a really nice paper showing how to perform exact inference on individual treatment effects in stratified random experiments and matched observational studies: academic.oup.com/biomet/article…

The first essay I wrote for a class at a French university came back with BARBARISME! written in red pen diagonally across the front page.

This is so cool.

Our peer effect paper has now been published in the March issue of Econometrica. It proposes a model that generalizes the LIM (linear-in-means) model and estimates it. It shows the mistakes made by using the LIM model. See econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

Not my favorite politician but doggone, I actually agree with him on this.

Today I did a GitHub CoPilot demo in my PhD class. I think have a lot of converts.

The NPR piece about a woman wanting her husband w/LC to ‘compromise’ & dine indoors is horseshit.

It’s an attempt to normalize the devaluing of life for frivolous comforts and it’s disgusting.

Someday maybe I'll stop typing # when I'm writing in LaTeX or ! when I'm coding in Julia or % when I'm coding in Fortran.

For anyone interested in a deeper dive into randomization inference, here’s some shameless self promotion of a thread I wrote last year: x.com/jfiksel1/statu…

I also have an upcoming paper in Biometrics on confidence intervals using ANCOVA randomization inference

Excerpt from my PhD syllabus:

All problems that involve computer assignments need to be organized as if you are submitting the assignment as a replication packet to a journal. Many good journals require authors to do this, so it is a good skill to learn now.

I've been chatGPTing the answers to my PhD homework. It would NOT pass the class.
