What’s the catch? As in, why is this not the default?

The answer is too country specific to be helpful if we don’t know which countries you have in mind. For example, AFAIK Isabela Manelici was able to get and link admin data from Costa Rica, but not Romania.

Been living in Denmark for 10 years and I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, the number of tense encounters I witnessed (road rage included). I quite enjoy it.

In my first job as AP, I went to the university gym to sign up (everyone had to pay a fee, faculty more than students). I was asked in which degree cycle I was enrolled 😊
Take it as a compliment 😊

I wasn't even aware that Zotero doesn't move manually-added PDFs 😊

I am anal about how my PDFs are named so after drag-and-dropping a PDF in Zotero I always choose "Rename and move attachment" from the context menu -> Manage attachments. This adds one more step, but solves #2.

Maybe reach out and join projects *after* the job market? If applied work, could be interesting if the data are different, or if the empirical strategies are different.

Penn has a track record of this. In Economics, both Edward Prescott (2004 recepient) and Thomas Sargent (2011 recepient) were denied tenure. I think it's more of a badge of honor at this point 😊

It takes a few minutes. But yes, they do show up (my reply is 15h after your post, but it likely showed up in the feed earlier).

There is the Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics (JCRE), run by @davidjaeg.bsky.social, but I agree that it's not incentivized enough (as in, employers likely don't count a publication in JCRE as much as in other journals).

I was not convinced about Airpods when they came out, but after I got a set of Pros I can't live without them. If you don't mind the size, Bose QC 35s are also nice. Of course, they both cost a pretty penny...

Thank you for posting about this! I desperately needed to figure out how to do a quantile IV regression for a project and this came at the perfect time.
BTW, apparently this approach is canned in Stata 18.

When I lived in Canada I noticed an interesting compromise (especially in winter): guests would bring a pair of clean shoes (as in: clean sole) for wearing indoors during the visit.

Romania too. Not really neighboring Albania, but Eastern European too. Oh, and Turkey. And Hungary, AFAIK.
