Great insights from my friend @xavierkuai — Fannie Mae Now Collects First-of-Its-Kind LGBT Data Through National Housing Survey

May I have your attention please: @ProfNoto and I wrote a book. We are pleased to announce... Better Health Economics: An Introduction for Everyone

Grad student tip of the day: Plan on changing Stata defaults for tables/figs. It is up to YOU to decide on appropriate # of decimal points, color scheme, line thickness, axis titles, legend, ticks, ect. Stata defaults are ugly and often bad. Ugly figs are bad figs.

Well, that's that. Just taught my last ever undergrad class. Retirement 6/30/22 and reduced teaching (only graduate pedagogy) in 2021-22. Almost 40 years of large-enrollment classes. And finished it all up in my basement, on zoom. It'll take awhile to sink in.

This is how I handle Monday blues. https://t.co/jBCpFSHuNO

Econ PhD advice thread: @carolyn_sms and I co-wrote our job market papers, so we often get asked about the pros and cons of co-authoring with grad school peers. Now that we both have survived the market, I wanted to tweet out a few reflections on our experience.

What happened in the past two days reminds me the commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs at Stanford. https://t.co/nMXorfCvfL

It's been a tough year for everyone, but please avoid travelling during this holiday/pandemic season. Do keep in mind that not everyone has the access to healthcare, and hospitals in the rural areas may have very limited resources. #StayatHomeAndStaySafe #wearmaskcorrectly

I'm shocked by the news report from O'Hare today :( I totally understand the urge of getting back to the air. My travel is down by over 90k miles this year, but I've decided to call it a year and cancelled all my remaining plans.

Let me share with you something that will change your life--Tikzit, a point and click interface to making professional-looking Tikz diagrams for use in Latex/Rmarkdown (causal diagrams, whatever you need). Link: https://t.co/iSVQ3qOS3B #SocSciResearch #openscience #EconTwitter

Very happy to be part of the new PREDOC consortium, whose website just launched today https://t.co/5RS5d3ZFtc A great new resource for students interested in pathways to doctoral programs in Economics, and hopefully this is just the start
