Hi #EconTwitter ! 📈

Looking for some very cool undergrad #econometrics lecture notes, with an emphasis on iid/micro data and causal inference?

Don’t miss out on these two sets of lecture notes by Peter Hull (@BrownUniversity) and Jonathan Roth (@BrownUniversity)! 📚…

With another course coming to a close, all the course material is now a public good!!! I might summarize Peter Hull's class as 'we think something random is occurring, how do we use this to estimate effects?'

Here are my undergrad metrics slides. They're similar to Peter's but:

- Have more pictures of my dog

- Teach IV differently

We are trying to do the hard thing, and the most probable outcome is we fail. Expanding human knowledge is harder than publishing top 5s.

Day 3 today! Covering formula instruments/treatments and how structural models can be understood as extrapolating reduced-form variation. Come check it out!

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

One party spent my entire adult life denying this

State-mandated protection from winter heat shutoffs provides small, temporary lines of credit that reduce eviction filings via increased rent payments. Eviction filings do not spike in the spring, suggesting substantial gains to renters and not simply filings delayed temporarily.
