Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc.
In a word: Harvard.
Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard.

These two papers, taken together, really cause a rethinking of behavioral economies.
Rather than having anomalous risk preferences; it looks like people have complexity aversion to "hard" decisions, especially on valuation, which drives behavioral anomalies. Herbert Simon ftw.

Does anyone know if there is an R/Stata implementation of the bias-aware CIs of Noack and Rothe (ECMA 2024) for RKDs? The `FRD` package the authors provide only supports RDDs, even though in Appendix D the method is extended to RKDs.

#EconSky, I am looking for some help!
Is there a Stata implementation of the bias-aware confidence intervals developed by Noack and Rothe (ECMA 2024)?
I am aware that the authors provide an R package.
