Glad this paper with @guido_imbens is out in the JEP.
The LaLonde paper has had a big impact on my academic journey and continues to teach us about the challenges and possibilities of conducting credible inference using nonexperimental data. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
Many thanks to Tim for the tireless editing and suggestions. @TimothyTTaylor

This debate is entirely confused. What the NYT editorial doesn't show is that progressives basically never run in those purple districts. Of 22 Democratic incumbents who lost their seats between 2016 and 2024, 21 were moderates.

You’d think if the “avoid moving to the center on social issues and just go really hard left on economic issues” strategy worked out there would be at least one Democrat holding a seat in a Trump district who adhered to it but nope

Economics Journals as Tennis Tournaments
🧵(for an extremely niche audience)
Quarterly Journal of Economics = Wimbledon
The oldest and most influential event, but also clubby, snobby, and elitist. To win it you must train on a very particular surface/ZIP code.

Workload is the major factor forcing academics to quit their roles, with some of the perceived benefits of working in universities actually adding to the strain, according to a new study. @JulietteRowsell reports timeshighereducation.com/new…

New study: Research shows liberals have worse mental health than conservatives. But what if you ask about "mood" to avoid possible conservative stigma around "mental health" issues?
A: "When respondents were asked to assess their mood, the gap between liberals and conservatives disappeared. Conservatives were actually somewhat less likely than liberals to provide a highly positive rating of their overall mood."

I can highly recommend reading @nvasilenok JMP "Reading Orwell in Moscow", which is a terrifically original project on how citizens are changing their reading habits in light of the war with Ukraine.

1/ I recently uploaded a preprint on targeted sanctions against Russia’s “shadow fleet” of oil tankers. The results suggest that the most recent sanctions are working: the sanctioned fleet is still active, but in a much more limited capacity.

who runs the democratic party? some people say the base, dem primary voters. some say donors. some say the electeds
the answer is the people who sign up to take online surveys about the persuasiveness of various digital campaign messaging vignettes via consumer reward programs

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?
Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'.
A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.
