We have been working on this study since the early days of my PhD, and I am so happy to see it published!
Some changes are impressive: among the 1980s cohort, the probability of not being parent by age 35 is 44% among men and 26% among women (all over EU).
3 main findings below.

Are young Europeans equally postponing their transition to adulthood? A comparative study by @v_ferraretto @agnevitali (@CSIS_Unitn) shows the pivotal role of gender and parental SES and the importance of considering multiple events. demographic-research.org/art…

You can do almost all of this, with the PS estimated by MLE, using teffects in Stata. Unfortunately, while IPW uses normalized weights, AIPW does not. And, for some reason, ATET (ATT) is not an option with AIPW. You won't get moderating effects using teffects, though.

Would you consider translating this thread into a Stata example/walk-through?

Class idea: “That’s So Random: Considering the Role of Randomized Controlled Trials in Public Policy.” These two papers look like they could produce very fruitful discussion! George Zaidan’s book “Ingredients” also has some interesting reflections on RCTs and public health.

One of the weird things about writing is that sometimes people read things into your articles that you don’t say. I have never written that “we should favor sweeping, unspecified changes that would yield a profoundly different world.” 1/

If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend this fantastic article about my dad, who will accept the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America medal tonight. Super proud of him, and grateful for everything he's taught me about life, service, and statistics!

For health economists interested in physician decision making, Janet Currie's new NBER working paper includes a 22 page appendix with some of the best papers in this area, all in a tabular format. This will become indispensable to me.

Anyone know how to fix NYT articles? Specifically this in their new piece about birth rates:
“Last year, the fertility rate dipped to 1.6 births per 1,000 women, a historic low that is far less than the rate needed to maintain the population size, 2.1 births per 1,000 women.”
