I coded up my first stacked DD estimator today. Pretty proud of myself. I really like that its construction is so intuitive.

Grinnell is a great place to work, where there is real balance between teaching, research, and other parts of your life.

Reach out if you have questions!

Is someone on here an expert in the short- and long-run effects of government shutdowns on workers and/or local economies?

I'd love to read a thread about what to expect.

Things I hope continue here:
People sharing their new papers.
People promoting conferences.
People complaining about econometrics.
Policy discussions.
Threads promoting job market candidates.
Comments on new macro-data.
Offers to help junior people and grad students.

What do you hope continues?
