Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children
The state’s elimination of vaccine mandates is a courageous first step toward decluttering itself of any excess kids.

My papers arguing that the "Abundance Movement" needs broadening to include place-based jobs policies for distressed places are being released today, with a long paper at the Upjohn Institute & a shorter summary at Brookings Metro.

I am heartbroken by the passing of our colleague Ghazala Azmat. A wonderful economist and AEJ: Economic Policy Board member, she was generous with her time and a vital contributor to many areas within applied economics and economic policy. She will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her family.

I just heard our wonderful colleague Ghazala Azmat has passed over the weekend, and I am so, so, so sad. She was a lovely, wonderful, kind soul. A brilliant economist who will be dearly missed. RIP my friend. My heart is so heavy. Love to everyone who was lucky enough to know her.

Thanks Pedro! Link to WP: arxiv.org/abs/2411.10959 and slides dviviano.github.io/projects/pre... We show how we can estimate treatment effects using remote sensed outcomes without having to correctly specify a model for remote sensed outcomes and leverage arbitrary ML methods. 1/n

📈📉A great way to shorten a paper. Change the margins. Some paragraphs will have one-word last lines. Make those go away by writing better. Repeat until you are too tired to be obsessive anymore. Reinstate the original margins. I did this all day. My paper is three pages shorter with better writing

One of my pastimes is to watch videos about writing fiction. Many things that work when writing fiction also work when writing academic papers! I think this video on editing is quite useful: youtu.be/WLAmilJx3Us?.... E.g., accept that your manuscript will evolve a lot over time!

This paper was so fun: arxiv.org/pdf/2301.121... We give new methods for estimating bounds on avg treatment effects - trt is confounded, but an instrument is available. Super common in practice The bounds are non-smooth, so std efficiency theory isn't applicable Lots of useful nuggets throughout!

#EconSky📉📈, what is your favorite Diff-in-Diff paper before the “staggered revolution”? Maybe something whose treatment take-up was staggered, but TWFE was still cool… and you wanna know if the results survive if we use new methods?
