To people who know the spatial labor literature: When we talk about spatial sorting of workers, we most often mean college vs non-college or similar. Is there any evidence on sorting *within* these groups? Eg, do we observe different degrees of sorting across skill or occupational groups? #EconSky

Has anyone else noticed a huge sudden increase in the arrival rate of new followers? I have gained ≈150 followers today, compared to a previous average of ≈5-10 per day, and it seems unlikely that I have suddenly become 15-30 times more interesting.

Insane: “The planning documentation for the Lower Thames Crossing […] runs to 360,000 pages, and the application process alone has cost £297 million. That is more than twice as much as it cost in Norway to actually build the longest road tunnel in the world.” ukfoundations.co

Does anybody have a decent template or tips on how to structure and organise R code for a research project? For example, how should I distribute code across files? Source scripts? Functions? Where should I load packages? (How) should I save data in between steps? #econsky
