This year we posted 26 #econjmp posts by PhD students on the market. Here is the list of all of them in case you missed any, plus a link to the @econthatmatters.bsky.social series which has some more - great to see all the exciting work in development blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

We recently made it even easier to reuse the data we provide, with two new features — upgraded data downloads & an API.

We’ve heard how helpful these are from many users — e.g., data scientists & researchers have told us how the API makes their workflows more efficient and reproducible.

Y on 1, D, X
Y on 1, D, X, D*(X - Xbar)

It is common to refer to the first as "OLS."

Pleased to share the latest version of my paper with Arthur Spirling and @lexipalmer.bsky.social on replication using LMs

We show:

1. current applications of LMs in political science research *don't* meet basic standards of reproducibility...

To celebrate my moving to BlueSky I am giving away LaTeX goodies.

Always wanted to have a clean, nice-looking, readable, complete and supporting visual track changes reply to referees?
