A neat result about IV's local average treatment effect (LATE) that I haven't seen emphasized often:
When treatment is *continuous,* LATE identifies a weighted average of treatment effects, where larger weights are placed on observations with a larger first stage coefficient.

How might econ/fin research change if we had more economists from first-gen/low-income backgrounds? Could we better understand income and wealth inequality, education, and poverty? My own experiences motivate my research focus on financial distress.
Key stylized fact:
Amongst US-born PhDs, Economics is less socioeconomically diverse than *all* the major PhD fields, including math, computer science, physical and biological sciences, and other social sciences.

Great advice! My version of this: focus on input rather than output.
When exactly you reach a research milestone depends on luck. Motivation is easier to sustain when you focus on making the small steps you can take every day to get there.
Good piece of advice.
I'd add one more: focus on daily goals, e.g., go over intro, debug this piece of code, etc.
Thinking of long-term goals made me feel that I didn't have enough time and thus made me very anxious. This was a good way of making progress without going nuts

First year courses are a unique opportunity to do a guided deep dive into the fundamentals of econ/fin. Grades may not have direct consequences, but it's correlated with how much you're taking advantage of this learning opportunity.
2. College grades matter for getting into econ/finance PhD. Some PhD students actually work hard in 1st year and try to ace their classes, not realizing that this basically has 0 direct effect on whether you'll find a job after PhD, it's all about writing papers

One of my fav econ/fin history stories! Gregor MacGregor got away with selling bonds for the *fictional* country of "Poyais" for over a year before his fraud was discovered. Along the way, he stranded would-be settlers in an isolated Nicaraguan swamp.
in the roaring early 1820s, faced with low rates, British investors were reaching for yield by investing in the currency of a fictional country. you could add 200 years and tell the exact same story.

Great intuition for clustering in RCTs (see the follow up blog post too). Inference only requires clustering when both the error term AND treatment are correlated within a cluster. Treatment should be uncorrelated in a true individual-level RCT with no spillovers

This is great advice! I wish someone had told me this early on as a PhD student.
This is also a good tool for *explaining* an empirical strategy. You can make it intuitive by describing the implicit comparison that the research design is using.
This rule of thumb works for thinking about empirical papers too! E.g. project the identification strategy into a simple version of whatever exercise they are doing.

With continuous treatment, heterogeneity can help show how the LATE may differ from the ATE. If you identify subsamples that you expect differ in first stage strength, you can compare their LATEs to see whether estimates are larger for upweighted obs.
