This is the shortlist so far! Titles in bold are NBER WPs - I’m trying to balance WPs with already published influential work. Would love to include a qualitative/descriptive paper in there if possible. #EconSky

If I were trying to start an RA reading group in gender and development (broadly defined) and hoping to get a good mix of papers that represent the cutting edge in theory/methods/empirics, what are some papers that should absolutely be on that reading list? Grateful for ideas! #EconSky

Super excited to be working on this! Topic close to heart, scale up focused trial, and with a bonus opportunity to engage in French with colleagues

The lack of precision and consistency with ChatGPT is a real problem. I’m constantly impressed by how many specialized data tasks it’s able to do, but I can never seem to rely on it to really read through something carefully or make its work reproducible.

For once my procrastination has paid off. I kept putting off really mastering Latex, and now with ChatGPT, have been able to submit two Math assignments just directly translating photos of hand-written calculations to Latex code very quickly and with minimal corrections.

I’ve been a #ChatGPT plus (GPT-4) user since March and it’s been a game changer in accelerating my French and coding skills. I have two referral codes for anyone who wants a free trial of the paid version (a world apart from the free v3.5 IMO).
