Starting this fall, I'll be an Assistant Professor of Economics at Claremont McKenna College! Many thanks to my dad, mom, and partner, as well as my advisors: Damon Clark, David Neumark, and Matt Freedman!

Hi #econtwitter (#econtooter?) help requested:

I have an outcome y ~ x + x^2

I have a panel of units receiving a binary treatment at different time periods, x varies by unit & time

What I want to do is compare the betas on my x's by treatment status, to test whether treatment affects response to x

I'm familiar(ish) with DiD heterogeneity for fixed pre-treatment covariates, but here x is time varying & I'm worried about the coeffs for x, rather than the ATT

This is really good. I will see how one can deploy this for #econtwitter #econtooter - or maybe @paulgp are you aware of any bots that may do something similar?

Is this open source?

I'm actually kinda surprised at the lack of econs tinkering with #fediverse instances. The discipline of decentralized equilibria + this platform? This ought to be a great lab for us to try new things!

These days everyone is trying to get a top5. Stand out. Get a bottom5 #EconTwitter #econtooter

we should adopt the use of "ap-" (or "app-") as a prefix for "applied". it would give us the fields of apmicro, apmetrics, aptheory. this would be Good.

Weitzman's 1974 "Prices vs Quantities" is another example of a broken symmetry in economics
https://scholar.harvard.edu/weitzman/files/prices_vs_quantities.pdf

In a standard model, a tax is equivalent to a quota: pick Q*, get P* or pick P* and get Q*. Weitzman (1974) shows this breaks when firms learn marginal costs and choose production levels after the regulator picks P* or Q*

In the standard model, payoffs are "conserved"; Weitzman's learning assumption breaks this conservation

Question for folks with a bit more experience/perspective: what are the pros/cons of giving a "state of X research" "keynote-style" lecture vs a typical econ-style research talk?

I have a talk on the calendar which could be either. I can see benefits to both, but could use some help thinking about tradeoffs

#EconTwitter #econtooter @marcfbellemare I don't think there's a #hiddenCurriculum yet...

In Europe, which other institutions can you think of that could be interesting for someone with a focus on households? E.g. the ILO, EBRD, World Bank, Bruegel…?

Does anyone know of econ research on "sacrifice zones"? I know the pollution haven literature a bit, I'm more looking for economists writing on the specific intersection of PHH and environmental justice

IO/GMM/metrics question I don't really know how to phrase:

In grad IO I learned that BLP-type estimators have many solutions bc very nonlinear, so you solve from many starting points and take whatever solution has the lowest GMM objective fn value.

The process somehow feels, idk, unprincipled to me. Feels like there ought to be some more structured (Bayes? Dynamics? CV?) way to use info/find good solns.

1. Is this in my head?
2. If no what's the "structured" thing?

Ok fellow econs, help me settle a disagreement. (Boost for reach plz!)

"At the optimum MB = MC. In daily practice, I treat this as _______."

(Yes yes derive from preference orderings but like in daily use which do you usually treat MB = MC as?)
