It's clear to me that the most impactful non-theoretical work in digital economics will have a software component. It's hard to build quality software for scale within the confines of a university. Hence, the for-profit route will become more common even for social scientists.

Thrilled to share that I’m joining @BUQuestrom as an Assistant Professor of Marketing in Fall 2025, after a Postdoc at @MITSloan with @mit_ide/@MITFutureTech A huge thank you to my committee—Ying Fan, Francine Lafontaine, @Susan_Athey, Zach Brown—and so many others…#EconTwitter
You will never be aware and you will never appreciate all the things other people have done for you. However grateful you are you are not grateful enough.
I'm very excited that my paper w/ @FelipeLobel @rubenlobel @inessaliskovich and @sinanaral "Reducing Interference Bias in Online Marketplace Experiments Using Cluster Randomization" is now published in @INFORMS Management Science and available online: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/mn…
Jon is the best.
In the interest of recording good things about life, every month or so, friends including @Ferrum_of_omega and @deaneckles, do a nerd brunch in which we discuss various topics of interest. Tomorrow's topics include: - Bullshit jobs, what are they precisely, how prevalent are…
Randomization is unintuitive to most people. I teach a course that requires students to run and analyze an experiment as their final project. Every year, at least one group does not randomize. For example, they'll treat subjects based on quarter of birth or based on which team…
Excited to announce that I’m joining @BUQuestrom this summer as an Assistant Professor of Marketing! This is a dream come true to pursue my research interests. I’m really grateful to my advisors and others at @Caltech who helped me get this far! #EconTwitter

This is one of those areas where interesting new stats methods are directly useful for important problems in the tech industry. Great position for the right person.

Interesting to note the thank you letter cultures in b-school fields vs economics. In b-school fields not sending a thank you letter after an interview is considered a rude offense. In economics, thank you letters are considered cheap talk and candidates don't do it.

This is just one reason why healthy and successful departments tend to prioritize the views of juniors and refuse to set the seniors’ views and preferences above the juniors. You’d be surprised (I was!) how many seniors dispute this.

New work by @BjoernHommel and me. We fine-tuned a language model to predict correlations between survey items. In our pilot, the out-of-sample accuracy for item correlations was .71, .86 for reliabilities, and .89 for scale correlations. We're planning a preregistered follow-up.

@bgreiner_tweets @MilosFisar @chrhuber_ @ozkesali All I can say @bgreiner_tweets is: thank you for your service. You've done a tremendous job.
if someone likes your writing, chances are they will like a lot of the other stuff you like and share. our writing reflects our values and tastes. it's not possible to like someone's writing without being drawn to some part of their ethos.
This skip-logic can get complex, so we have some tools to help visualize the flow of the path through the data labeling cc: @AndreyFradkin
@AndreyFradkin it's also got logic to make sure answers are selected from options, answers are all proper JSON, etc. If response is broken in some way, it will retry to fix
@AndreyFradkin checkbox selects all the passed options that apply; multiple choice is one & only one. re: prompt - you could of course write all of these out w/ your own prompts (and do the skip-logic, and figure out the execution flow, etc.). It's just a lot more code :)

if you want to learn about industry jobs, you should talk to someone working in industry; is that simple. So much bs out there.
This is sadly how the World Bank operates if you're junior working under an unscrupulous senior economist. The World Bank argues that any work produced by a consultant is the intellectual property of the Bank. While that is true, authorship at OEP and other journals extends to…
Nemat Shafik - @Columbia Prez only has 1 well-cited publication in her life, in Oxford Econ Papers 1994. This paper is lifted almost entirely from a 1992 report coauthored with consultant not credited in the publication. This is wholesale intellectual theft, not subtle plagiarism
@pedrohcgs Good takes especially the p-hacking one. There's a big file drawer problem on the applied side (perhaps because success matters more and the stakes are higher).
