Small update on #JWDID. There is a new option "CRE" which will not implement a CRE approach to the DID models. This is preferable if you want to obtain the "unconditional" Standard errors for the aggregations. Update on Github

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

🚀 Launching a new #Stata package #geoflow that allows users to generate spatial arcs. This package is a culmination of over a year of work for building stable core dependencies. It also brings us one step closer to flexibly plot network data (more on generic applications later

I wish as a profession we would be more careful about tossing around terms like "endogeneity" -- especially with panel data. For many years, I've been emphasizing that the error consists of two components; I call them c(i) and u(i,t). I always include time dummies, say, f(t).

🚀 #Stata #packages updated on #SSC: - geoflow: v1.0 is finally up on SSC. Plot spatial flows as arcs. Combines very well with geoplot and geoboundary. (github.com/asjadnaqvi/sta…) - geoboundary v1.2: further optimizations to allow fetching boundary data from multiple resources.

Whether you're new to DiD or looking to expand your toolkit, my #OSC2025 presentation has something for you! I'll start with the basics and build up to advanced applications including Continuous treatment, and X's Heterogeneity. #Economics #ResearchMethods

🚨It's finally got an issue and page numbers 😊 If you ever do survey experiments and maybe, just maybe, sometimes get null results, this article might help you (plus it's Open Access!). cambridge.org/core/journals/…
