Congrats to Dr. Harsha Thirumurthy on his latest running achievement! He ran the Tunnel Hill 50-mile race in Illinois. He finished in 5:38:27, setting a new American men’s record in his age group, and breaking the previous record which had stood for a quarter century! @hthirumurthy.bsky.social

It is with great sadness that I learned today of the passing of my friend, mentor, and co-author Dr. Allen Goodman. Allen was an exceptional mentor and was kind, thoughtful, and supportive. I am passing his legacy on, teach the next generation of health economists.

Q for applied econs: I want to use inverse propensity score reweighting (IPW) to check robustness to attrition. Should I trim the sample outside the range of overlapping support of the propensity score distributions? 1/2
