🚨Please stop calling this brain drain.
When there are high overseas returns to education, *more people get educated*.
Think about all the folk working their asses off for this exam, and then *staying in India*.
High returns for migrants are good, they build human capital. 1/N

So in one week I have a paper accepted at the Econometrics Journal and @causalinf drops my interview on his podcast.
BRB -- going to buy a lottery ticket. 🏃♂️
(I'll forgive Scott the hyperbole of "legend." I'm just some guy with a deviated septum who caught a lot of breaks.)

Season 2 of my podcast, The Mixtape with Scott, is out and it's with the legend @jmwooldridge . I'm listening to it now, and it's a lot of fun listening to Jeff tell the story of his life and career. I hope you like the new music intro too.

I ask students to prepare for text-based discussions by coming to class with 1) a new understanding, 2) a quote from the text that resonated or needs unpacking, and 3) a question that will help us wrestle with the meaning of the text and/or the implications of the text. It works.

Cautionary tale about "nobody did the reading." I once sat in on a grad stats class taught by a very senior prof. I knew from students before class they'd done the reading but found it challenging, had lots of doubts and questions. Very unsure where to start. 1/2

If you teach students to work with data, you're doing them a great disservice if you just teach them how to run models/analyses and not how to clean and manipulate data. If you haven't tested them directly on this, you'll be surprised how unintuitive this is to new users!

I've been so discombobulated lately that I don't keep track of what's in version of papers and what I include in lectures/teaching. So here's an update on what I've learned about DiD in 2022.
