Next week, I'm teaching another round of my online Mixtape course on BLP-style demand estimation!

The sessions are hands-on and last time we had a ton of great questions. Sign up here: www.mixtapesessions.io/session/dema...

Giulia Brancaccio and I are looking for a pre-doc to work with us on topics related to Industrial Organization and Trade
@nyu.edu

Ideally for two years starting in September

My job market's done, and I'm heading back to the NYC area! Excited to join Princeton Econ as a postdoc next year and NYU Stern Econ as an AP in 2026.

In a happy twist of fate, this means @cconlon.bsky.social and I will be colleagues exactly 10 years after our first PyBLP commit:

New paper with @adam-n-smith.bsky.social
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Our paper develops a new approach for estimating demand nonparametrically while imposing economic constraints and comes with a new package, NPDemand.jl! Some things we do in the paper 1/

Happy to share that my and @cconlon.bsky.social's micro BLP paper was just accepted at the Journal of Econometrics! jeffgortmaker.com/files/Incorp...

It's our 2nd tied to our PyBLP software, so here's a thread on surprising (to me) benefits of combining methods research with open source work. 1/6

Economic valuations fluctuate in ways empirical research cannot fully explain

What information are we missing? Economic theories emphasize the role of hard-to-quantify beliefs and perceptions

My job market paper develops algorithms + measurement to quantify perceptions of firms

I am on the job market, which seems like a great opportunity for my first post on here! My job market paper is about failures of contingent thinking -- the act of reasoning about hypothetical events. 1/

Hey #EconSky, I'm on the job market with an #EconJMP about open source software. OSS is a global public good, widely used and provided by the private sector, but the target of recent industrial policy.

Returning to this site and seeing a lot of #EconSky growth, seems like a good time to repost this complement to starter packs.

Works great for importing many of your (non-deactivated) follows from Twitter: www.sky-follower-bridge.dev

For anyone looking to import their follows, chrome.google.com/webstore/det... worked great.
