It’s amazing how we need to be shown time after time that bandaid fixes don’t work and we need to fix the real inequities in our education system. apple.news/A6PN2wIorR4G...

Hey #econsky. What is the standard nowadays for data replication using GPT models? Other than complete prompt documentation, model specifications, input data, and setting the temperature close to zero, what does a researcher need to do?

I am not an AI hater, but OMG folks. Please don't just use ChatGPT to write your grant applications. It's obvious, and it really doesn't do you any favours. Not saying that you can't use it to help in the process but that's not what I'm reading. Please save me!!!!

She's amazing. Keep up the good fight.
Just received this statement from Lisa Cook:
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
President Trump said he is firing Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, "effective immediately." It's his most direct assault yet on Fed independence -- and a step that it is far from clear he can legally take.

Hi everyone! I'm teaching causal inference for education policy class in the fall. It's for students with basic stats training but not advanced. Does anyone else teach something similar? Any fun ideas on how to teach it?

Nice to catch up with colleagues at #AEFP2025. However, I’m going home even more depressed given the lack of outrage and planning for the future. It was mostly business as usual despite us being very much in a not business as usual time.

This is EXACTLY how I'm feeling watching from abroad.
I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

It’s not even 10am yet and three women economists have said that they thought I was “brave” for bringing my 7-year-old to a panel at the @assameeting.bsky.social. We need to normalize caregiving in economics. It’s 2025.
