A few weeks ago I started as Associate Editor at the Journal of Monetary Economics. I am excited about handling papers close to my research interests and interacting with authors and referees. I will work hard to make it a smooth process! 🙂

As real analysis and linear algebra were critical parts of the bootcamp math for PhD in economics, literacy on machine learning is critical now. Overparametrization, benign fitting, transformer, stochastic gradient descent should be part of the pre-training of Ph.Ds

Do you run Qualtrics surveys? Then use my GitHub repo to automate the whole process with Codex! Tell Codex what you want to study, and it will create the survey, push to the survey to Qualtrics and generate synthetic responses, download and clean the data, and produce a set of slides summarizing the process.🧵with complete guided example!

I am using Florin’s textbook in my first year PhD macro class and it’s a delight. The exposition is beautiful, highly recommended.
Using the book also reminded me that the best way to learn something is to teach it - I am learning a lot going through the book.
