The classic "Econometric Theory and Methods" by Davidson and MacKinnon is available for free on their website. Still a great resource for learning and teaching econometrics at the graduate level #statsky #econsky

We started @malengo.org in 2021 to support Ugandan students on their journey to a Bachelor's degree in Germany. We admitted 10 students in 2021; 30 in 2022; and 120 in 2023.
Our next goal: FOUR HUNDRED!
We urgently need both investors and donors — please read and spread widely! 1/n

Won't be a Twitter replacement without an Econ Nobel prize prediction thread.
Who do you think will win the Econ Nobel prize this year? My bet is on Claudia Goldin.

Should governments prioritize ambient levels or within-day peaks in air pollution?
⚫ Reducing ambient requires regulations addressing externalities
⚫ Peaks are often driven by private actions and thus require addressing private barriers

Is more information better for forecast accuracy? It depends!
The more data we have the more accurate are our forecasts, typically. Unless, of course, we deal with something like a random walk model, in which case only one data point—the most recent observatio...

So HI! We are here now.
And I wanted to start with a shoutout to all the Data Editors out there: I just got the following message from an author (who has work to do!), and it felt good! @koren.mk (ReStud) + others not (yet) on 📈📉 (Ecta, EJ, CJE, MgmtS, EI, etc. - you know who you are!)

Its hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment. They have blown past anything we've previously experienced by a huge margin.
