Logarithms are ubiquitous in economics. They allow you to conveniently express percentage changes. However, your data includes a zero, the log representation breaks. It turns out that there is no solution fully robust to the choice of units used! 1/

Shoutout to Emilio Cesar Espino (@utditella ) as he concludes his semester long visit during which he taught half of 1st yr PhD Macro 2, a mini-course on International Macro, presented his research at our macro seminar and met with PhD students and faculty.
Last day of class pic. And probably my last ever class as a student. The pic is from a mini-course on Macro-Finance offered by Emilio Espinosa (@utditella) who was visiting our department for the semester.

The @WorldBank Group released decades of proprietary emerging market default and recovery statistics - as a public good - to drive more private sector capital into developing economies.

Deep learning (DL) is proving remarkably effective at solving dynamic models in economics: 📄 nber.org/papers/w33117 Curiously, DL often yields stable solutions without explicitly imposing boundary conditions (e.g., transversality). Why does this work? A short thread 🧵👇 1/7

PhD and research feels like a rollercoaster ride. One day my results are great, next day I feel a different specification can make them insignificant. One day I feel the results are new/interesting, next day I find a paper that already answers the qn. I guess this is normal.
