This is about publishing in economics journals but I found it fascinating and probably applicable in other fields/areas- about why/how two papers asking the same question with the same answer might have very different landing spots in terms of a journal jasonmfletcher.substack.com/p/how-to-wri...

New publication alert! My paper “Buying Loyalty at the Track? Formula One Grands Prix and Civil Unrest” has just been published in the International Journal of Sport Finance.
This article provides an empirical investigation of potential noneconomic consequences of hosting a major sporting event. Using two datasets of civil unrest events, I test if hosting a Formula One Grand Prix is associated with changes in social and political unrest days. Using propensity score matching, coarsened exact matching, and GMM estimation, results provide limited evidence that hosting a Formula One Grand Prix is associated with fewer days of unrest, suggesting that hosts may see political benefits from hosting major sporting events. However, there is some heterogeneity depending on the dataset used. This article contributes to the discussion examining political benefits and costs of hosting large sporting events, which may need to be taken into account along with the financial benefits and costs.

In a worker-firm effects (AKM) model, the worker+firm effects are only separately identified within mobility groups - the subgraphs of workers+firms connected by workers moving across firms. Something I just learned: the mobility groups for OLS vs. Poisson estimators are not necessarily the same.
