THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I have no need for Kamala Harris to do a lot of media.
But she REALLY needs to show up tomorrow with some loud "I told you so" messages.

🚨 New Working Paper 🚨
Interested in using synthetic control, but you only have one control unit and several treatment units? How about several control and treatment units? I have a new working paper on the Synthetic Treatment Method (STM) and Synthetic Control And Treatment Method (SCATM).

Stop pretending that the authoritarian repression is BECAUSE of the problems in {higher education, the media, the law, government, immigration policy, etc.}. This is what authoritarians do. If they didn't focus on these justifications, they'd come up with other ones.

Changes to MSc, PhD and postdoc funding programs from 🇨🇦 tri councils. Harmonization across councils, more awards, and new eligibility for international PhD and postdoc applicants!
NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs
As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N
Big picture:
Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)
- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review
-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means

Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

I like studies like this
One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
