An insightful discussion of my paper by @mattkahn1966.bsky.social

Thank you for highlighting the work. The post raises interesting questions on how tech innovations (e.g., remote work, autonomous cars) might interact with these traditional adaptation measures (e.g., weather advisories).

Important advance for simulated instruments
📢New WP w/ @borusyak.bsky.social

We derive the most powerful recentered IVs for formula treatments & propose an algorithm for approximating them

This approach yields *huge* power gains, relative to conventional simulated IV, when estimating Medicaid crowdout effects

More timely than expected: Check out my latest Economic Letter showing extreme weather events cause uncertainty for affected firms that lasts several months.

We focus on hurricanes but find similar effects after other extreme weather events.
