Second, the crazy new QJE paper.
Crazy as in crazy impressive. I mean several sources of identification. As a little side note friends are defined by pre-determined friends network based on who calls who. 😮

Hi Sara, thank YOU for the great work. And sorry that I only cover a fraction of what is actually in the paper.
