Remember the "Highlights" that some Elsevier journals require? Dean Karlan and friends developed an amazing way to troll them: haikus!

A super cool paper got an update and it is pretty striking that the conclusion got even more support. A great thread by one of the authors.
We recently added several analyses to our paper on the employment effects of a $1000/month guaranteed income. 🚨
These new analyses include, for the first time, administrative data on income and employment and results for marriage/ divorce and benefits, among other outcomes.
Read on for results! 1/

Just watched the whole 2h. Highly recommended to all who are interested in Experimental Economics.
For those who want to jump to the frontier in select areas of economics, the AEA has posted the webcasts of this year’s continuing lectures. Thanks much to @lawrencekatz.bsky.social for his leadership and vision in assembling these lectures.

Empirical evidence sometimes will change your mind. This paper did, for me. With Alicia De Quinto, we studied the long-term effects of a policy that allowed parents to work part-time until their youngest child turned 6. Many women took it up. I thought (1/3) doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

I fully agree with Ben and hope we will see a change.
In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

New study explores the causal impact of correcting misperceived gender norms on mothers' employment attitudes and expectations. Using a field experiment with German mothers of young children, we find three key results:

The right take on this paper.
I don’t think that’s quite the interpretation. The (very good) paper is critiquing a specific type of finance research where researchers run a bunch of regressions, find an “anomaly” and present this as science. They show this type of ex post hypothesis testing can *even* be done by AI.

The right take on this paper.
I guess (field) experiments will be spared from this. At least for a while.
Researchers used AI to generate 288 complete academic finance papers predicting stock returns, complete with plausible theoretical frameworks & citations. Each paper looks and reads as legit.
They did this to show how easy it now is to mass produce "credible" research. Academia isn't ready.

I could use some advice! I don’t often write recommendation letters for German students applying to PhD programmes in the US. Any tips, things to watch out for, or resources you’d recommend?

My Bluesky feed is filled with panic about overleaf being down while my Twitter feed is filled with hot takes about Hunter Biden.
This should tell you everything about where the research conversation has moved.

Methodological diversity in economics. 😃
Behavioral economics: people cannot add or subtract
Macroeconomics: *maybe* people cannot deal with the fact that the entire cross sectional distribution is a state variable

Better than different feeds for each conference, each active just 1 week a year?

Very good question and a lot of insightful answers.
Question about std errors:
In an RCT, treated people are randomly assigned to "pods" and interact (e.g., treatment = WhatsApp group membership). The norm (e.g. Cai-Szeidl) is to cluster on indiv for control group + on pod for treatment group. Why is clustering needed if any ICC is due to treatment?

Ok guys here's the point.
Diff in Diff is a model based assumption that identifies the ATT (unless you're using random timing of rollouts, but almost noone is).
It is model-based because you make assumptions to identify the OUTCOME MODEL in the *absence* of the treatment.

DDDiD: Don't do difference in differences (w obs data). DiD is a (bad) weighting estimator and is almost always strictly dominated by better ones
