My paper has been published open access, find it here! We apply the Callaway St'Anna estimator to estimate the impact of partner loss on the immediate need for long-term care using not-yet-treated as controls. #econsky #econometrics #healthecon #LTC
When a spouse dies, the surviving partner’s need for institutional long-term care spikes—by 1.5 percentage point within 3 months, then fades by 10.

Early post-bereavement support is key to sustaining “aging-in-place.”

🤔 Does anyone know of papers that deal with time varying covariates and staggered treatment in a non-biased way? #EconSky #Econometrics #staggeredtreatment

A request for weather interested volunteers!

Met Eireann would like to rescue millions of weather observations taken in Ireland over many decades that are still stuck on paper. #WeatherRescue

💡 Research in Nature Aging

1 in 5 older adults with dementia receives no care for daily needs.
In China, nearly 100% lack formal care.

💡 New research in JHE!

🕰️ Becoming a main carer cuts 9.6 hours off the workweek.
💑 If you're caring for a partner? That's 22.5 hours gone.

🚺 Late career women are hit hardest: often pushed out of work after health shocks.

Redoing my data cleaning for the billionth time because overseeing consequences of filters on 240 variables and ≈ 2.7 million rows is apparently very complex for my brain… Who would have thought? #datascience #phdlife

Ons onderzoek gaat over de werking van het stelsel en daarmee over instituties (verboden), met name barrières (verboden) voor doelmatiger zorg, en we willen causale relaties schatten die unbiased (verboden) zijn, etc.

Als wij ons werk deden in de VS dan koden we nu de tent wel sluiten.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Ik kwam dit tegen als advertentie op Instagram vandaag. Het lijkt erop dat we als Nederland niet alleen zijn in het zorgpersoneel tekort. Het lijkt bijna een wedstrijd te worden… #zorg #personeelstekort

Coding the outcomes of the ongoing literature review gives some weird insights… did you know you can categorize death rates as ‘functional decline’? 🫢

Advice of the day: If a professor asks: “Can you read this paper before next week?”

Don’t forget to ask how many pages it is…

The answer would have been “77” 😮‍💨

Weet iemand waar je een bloedglucose sensor (fsl2) kunt kopen in een fysieke winkel?
Dit blijkt toch voornamelijk een te bestellen product te zijn, maar wel voor sommige patiënten een noodzakelijk product…
Veel dank voor een potentiële gouden tip!
