Looks amazing!
To borrow another example, taken from the `dbreg` README: github.com/grantmcdermo...

Here I am running a fixed-effects regression on 180 million(!) row parquet dataset... and it completes **< 2 seconds**... on my laptop 🤯

This is powered by @duckdb.org under the hood.

In der neuen ZDF-Doku über #Lebensmittelpreise geht es um Machtverschiebungen in der Versorgungskette – und ich durfte einige Einschätzungen teilen.

Die #Monopolkommission beschäftigt sich seit zwei Jahren mit genau diesen Fragen.
30.000 Kassenzettel zeigen: So teuer sind Lebensmittel bei Rewe, Edeka, Aldi und Lidl wirklich

Harmonizing global data is a huge task.

Here's a project we did in 2019 looking at how living arrangements around the world vary by religion: www.pewresearch.org/religion/201...

We focused our analysis at the individual level because doing so best captures the lived experience of most people.

🚨Free data alert!! 🚨 Please share.

Large new dataset of Amazon product reviews, including full text and photos and product characteristics, with individual *reviews labeled as fake reviews*.

I believe this is the first publicly available data of this kind.

In 2022, I partnered with the student canteens of @unibonn.bsky.social to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon labels on their menus. The result: Emission-heavy meat consumption decreased by 5%. Thrilled to see StW Bonn has now permanently installed the labels!

The political economy of debt brakes is just like the one of debt except for the debt.
I know it's a long thread in German, but it explains very well the political economy of the debt brake.
Private Beobachtung:
Die Appelle seitens der Union an die staatspolitische Verantwortung der Grünen sind schon witzig:

Staatspolitische Verantwortung scheint immer nur dann ein Argument zu sein, wenn die Union regiert oder gerne regieren will. /1

Event studies around birth of the first child:
👉 Pre birth: same labor supply for egalitarian and traditional mothers
👉 Post birth: egalitarians return much faster to the labor market
-> 15% more likely to work, work 4 hours more, persistent effects

Does anyone know what Adam Smith means here? Is this a positive or a normative statement? What modern theories of altruism does this map to?
