Just checked my LinkedIn feed for the first time in a while --- way more interesting than Bluesky, way less noisy than X. Maybe this is the place to be?

This week we marked 40 years of unit roots & cointegration with a workshop hosted by the Oxford Bulletin journal. Yesterday, we enjoyed a panel discussing the key concepts and results of cointegration analysis developed over 4 decades. #UnitRoots #Cointegration #EconConference

Today is a sad day as I have learned of the passing of my friend and @usc_econ colleague University Professor Richard Easterlin. Here is a happy photo of us back in 2018. Dick would have turned 99 in January. He was a highly productive and optimistic economist. A thread.

Detecting a clear structural break in social network migration over recent days. The process appears non-stationary with a strong upward trend. We might finally be observing that long-anticipated regime shift in platform adoption.
