I wasn't even aware that Zotero doesn't move manually-added PDFs 😊

Really nice thread about Zotero. I've been using for years and didn't know about some of the addons here. Hope they'll still work after the impending (??) update to Zotero 7. Maybe also useful to #EconSky

I am anal about how my PDFs are named so after drag-and-dropping a PDF in Zotero I always choose "Rename and move attachment" from the context menu -> Manage attachments. This adds one more step, but solves #2.

Reupping this because there are a lot more people here now and I, unfortunately, still need a job.

My colleagues @jacobarendt.bsky.social and @rlandersoe.bsky.social have joined! Follow them for super interesting research on social mobility, education, immigration, and more. #EconSky

Maybe reach out and join projects *after* the job market? If applied work, could be interesting if the data are different, or if the empirical strategies are different.

I've learned a lot from @peterhull.net posts on the other site, and now he delivers on his promise to post cool stuff on this platform too. #EconSky

Penn has a track record of this. In Economics, both Edward Prescott (2004 recepient) and Thomas Sargent (2011 recepient) were denied tenure. I think it's more of a badge of honor at this point 😊

One of the many super interesting papers by my significantly better half @MeltemDaysal is now featured on the front page of the NBER! #EconSky www.nber.org

Some news: I have joined the Board of Reviewing Editors (BoRE) at Science. Part of the remit is to encourage more high-quality economics submissions. So here’s a long-ish thread on why, what, and how you should submit to Science, as well as some details on the editorial process 1/n

It takes a few minutes. But yes, they do show up (my reply is 15h after your post, but it likely showed up in the feed earlier).

There is the Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics (JCRE), run by @davidjaeg.bsky.social, but I agree that it's not incentivized enough (as in, employers likely don't count a publication in JCRE as much as in other journals). www.zbw.eu/en/about-us/...

I was not convinced about Airpods when they came out, but after I got a set of Pros I can't live without them. If you don't mind the size, Bose QC 35s are also nice. Of course, they both cost a pretty penny...

Thank you for posting about this! I desperately needed to figure out how to do a quantile IV regression for a project and this came at the perfect time. BTW, apparently this approach is canned in Stata 18.

When I lived in Canada I noticed an interesting compromise (especially in winter): guests would bring a pair of clean shoes (as in: clean sole) for wearing indoors during the visit.

Romania too. Not really neighboring Albania, but Eastern European too. Oh, and Turkey. And Hungary, AFAIK.

Also middle school vs high school, so maybe "survival" effects as well. Still, it was surprising to see basically opposite results from the same approach.
