I spent a very enjoyable day at Spelman College last week. I gave a couple of lectures and got to talk to Spelman and Morehouse students about paths to careers in economics, including predoc and phd programs, and some of the programs at Stanford, including https://t.co/lfcx8DlEdl

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of Stanford alumnae in Amsterdam, at an event organized by Lian Boerma and Rick Amado. Unexpected bonus: the event was at the former lab of Van 't Hoff, the first (1901) Nobel laureate in chemistry. @StanfordGSB

42 years ago I started as an undergraduate at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. I left after 3 years, before graduating, but this week I did get a degree from Rotterdam, an honorary one at the 110th dies natalis. It was fun to be back and meet so many students and faculty!

@AdrienMogenet Absolutely! In such settings, @guido_imbens et al. have done great work proposing improved experimental designs ( https://t.co/H5omQlF5Oh) In the opinion paper, I argue that even in simpler settings, SUTVA violations commonly occur due to the ML models themselves interfering.

In this study we introduce a new class of experimental designs. In a classical randomized controlled trial (RCT), or A/B test, a randomly selected subset of a population of units (e.g.,...

Op deze dag heb ik me lang verheugd. In 2021 ontving Guido Imbens samen met zijn collega’s Joshua Angrist en David Card de Nobelprijs voor de Economie. Het vervult me met trots dat ik vandaag samen met Imbens zijn bronzen buste mocht onthullen in de eregalerij op @MinOCW.

Ben Deaner from UCL pointed me to this directed acyclical graph (one of many) in Griliches and Mason, Journal of Political Economy, 1972. It reminded me of the graph in Tinbergen, Review of Economic Studies, 1940. Two mostly forgotten early examples of DAGs in the econ lit.

One of my favorite pictures from backstage at the Nobel ceremonies this year. Four inspiring scientists: Jennifer Doudna (chemistry, 2020), Frances Arnold (chemistry, 2018). Andrea Ghez (physics, 2020), and Carolyn Bertozzi (chemistry, 2022).

Tony was a great teacher, advisor and friend. Without his sage advice I would not have been here this week in Stockholm for the Nobel ceremonies. He had an uncanny ability to ask great questions that pushed me in new directions. I will miss him.
Sadly a scholarly giant of Econometrics died yesterday. Tony Lancaster was a pioneer in the study of unemployment duration and the use of Bayesian methods and Transition data. He was also a personal friend and mentor to some of the greats eg: @guido_imbens @AndrewChesher
