More in #teachecon hot-takes for #econtwitter: Solving the long-run input-hiring profit-max problem for an individual firm in a competitive market isn't uniquely identified for any cost function.

To provide a different narrative to some of the ChatGPT+assessment posts: I'm giving a short-form writing assignment and allowing students to use ChatGPT.

My rationale: like Excel, Wikipedia, spellchecker (! Remember when hullabaloo that first came out?) it forms part of a new professional "toolkit" and there's no point in pretending otherwise. Let students learn how to integrate it into their work process.

Question for #econtwitter and the #teachecon twitteratti: why do we still torture students with the distinctions between demand/quantity demanded and supply/quantity supplied?
Do they even use it after principles?
Do researchers distinguish between them?

The 2023 edition of the Minority Report, a joint production of the AEA’s Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession (CSMGEP), the American Society of Hispanic Economists (ASHE), the Association for Economic Research of Indigenous Peoples (AERIP) and the National Economic Association (NEA) has now been posted. https://assets.aeaweb.org/asset-server/files/17931.pdf #TeachEcon #EconResearch

@mehconomics Regarding #teachecon, I teach environmental economics at Harvard (PhD) and in Oslo (Master) and would love to receive suggestions for the syllabuses:

Glad so many people liked this. Sadly I have no time at the moment to clean/comment/simplify the code.

I'm sharing it anyways https://github.com/simonheb/metrics1-public. Please use email or github pull request to share any updates/additions/improvements to the code that you might do. #TeachEcon

Of course, this whole thread of vizualisations should've used #TeachEcon

Is there an economic rationale for the seemingly (to me) erratic moves of Elon Musk?

What is it that I keep overlooking, #TeachEcon #EconResearch?

Serious Q, students asked and I can't find a rationale.

Sure, he wants to monetize both market size. But I wonder if charging users may not eventually kill both sides of the market.

📔 : Using #tags will help people find your stuff. Here are some suggestions (note that there is no "correct" way to do this, but coordination helps):

#introduction (for introductions)

#econjobmarket (if you are on either side this year)

#conference
#seminar
#webinar

#newpaperalert
#TeachEcon
#EconResearch
#EconMedia

And the best for last:
#memes

@chrisadamsecon @paulgp

I propose
#TeachEcon #EconResearch #EconMedia as three additional tags to distinguish teaching, research, and media articles/blogs/general interest posts.

#Introduction I'm an Assistant Instructional Prof. at UChicago.

I teach macro principles, the 3-course intermediate sequence, econ policy analysis, international monetary systems, & crypto. I've also taught trade & micro principles. I supervise 3-6 MA students each year & am on the MA admissions committee.

My 2 research fields are pedagogy (#TeachEcon) & crypto impact on international markets (#CryptoTwitter).

My hobbies are playing video/board games, & providing my opinions on Matters.
