Over a few days, I have saved a few spare hours for myself. I have >1500 (mostly running) activities on Runkeeper since 2013. I guess I have to use Stata for a non-economic project.

Unbundling college: Causal returns to US college majors, minors, and extracurriculars.

An audit study of seniors' first-job search, with Carolina Bussotti, John Nunley, and @alanseals.bsky.social.
