There is growing recognition of regional inequality in poverty calculations. However, incorporating such adjustments in multi-tier segmented programs is difficult: cross-selection + fiscal externalities. My #JMP considers whether or not it makes sense to do so in health insurance programs!

On this note, if you ever want to use staggered SDID, check the appendix of this paper as we provide step-by-step derivation + intuition.
We used synthetic difference in differences analysis with a placebo method to generate the CIs.
Staggered DID failed pre-trends.
Lots of fun to learn SDID from @salpykanimian.bsky.social (on the job market now --- HIRE HER) and @beniwalsukriti.bsky.social

Like from the post earlier today. Child poverty dropped 25% over the last 30 years. True. But also we could, right now, cut child poverty 60% by spending a miniscule portion of our 7 trillion dollar federal budget but we don't. Needless suffering.

Some discourse about a study on basic cost of living today. I'll go back to what i said last month.
Working and middle class families simultaneously are a lot wealthier than they were 75 years ago and have access to less of the wealth generated. So the gap between how we could live and how we do live has grown.
we live in an extraordinarily wealthier society than our parents and grandparents. our problem is that we have not invested enough of that wealth in social goods, but i don’t think anyone actually wants to return to a time when even a “good” factory job was backbreaking labor
