- Excited to be featured on the Economist! Why are economists so valuable to tech companies? @steve_tadelis @Econ_4_Everyone Why economists are flocking to Silicon Valley
- A paper that might be a good complement to Alberto's SC tutorials is "Synthetic Controls in Action", in which we derive 7 guiding principles for SC practitioners. arxiv.org/pdf/2203.06279…Hi #EconTwitter! For economists interested in 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Check out these three great #NBER lectures by Alberto Abadie (@MITEcon), Rocio Titiunik & Matias Cattaneo (@Princeton) on Synthetic Controls and Regression Discontinuity Designs Very nice stuff!
- After RAing for this paper I changed the way I think about when to cluster SE. In particular, I think the (theory motivated) simulations in the paper make a great job at showing how conservative cluster-robust SE can be sometimes.Happy Sunday, #EconTwitter! Struggling about how adjust your 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬 for 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠? Check out this #econometrics paper by Abadie, @Susan_Athey, @guido_imbens & @jmwooldridge, just out in @QJEHarvard. Lots of fresh insights and solutions!
- After 5 years, finally out in print! This paper extends asymptotic risk results for shrinkage estimators with multiple types of regularization, such as the Elastic Net! STRETCHING THE NET: MULTIDIMENSIONAL REGULARIZATION bit.ly/3lB4j8C
- Gatear antes de andar: Los planes piloto pueden ayudar a decidir qué políticas públicas tirar adelante y cuales no. Hoy he hecho una pequeña reflexión sobre esto en @LaVanguardia.
- Replying to @jaumevivesbImmensely grateful to my advisors Alberto Abadie, Anna Mikusheva, and @TobiasSalz for their guidance and support throughout my PhD, and to my family and friends for their unwavering encouragement. Excited for the journey ahead! 2/2

- Hoy en @nadaesgratis escribo sobre cómo crear "pueblos sintéticos" para medir efectos causales agregados. Un método que puede ser útil cuando no se pueden tratar muchas unidades en un experimento pero se quiere decir algo sobre el efecto medio.El potencial de los pueblos sintéticos - nadaesgratis.es/admin/el-poten… vía @NadaEsGratis #Economía
- On the 23rd we are presenting the UBI pilot study design at UPF!El 23 de gener acollirem la taula rodona "Renda Bàsica Universal: metodologia, perspectives i expectatives" amb: @oriolamat, rector de la UPF @SergiRaventos, cap pla pilot @rendabasicacat @mborrellporta, @Ivalua_Cat @jaumevivesb, @MIT Inscripcions bit.ly/3IXPXIS
- Spain is setting up a new scientific advisory office to evaluate and design public policies, a great initiative if done well and from political independence. A good example to follow might be the great work done by @Ivalua_Cat.🔴EN DIRECTO Intervención del presidente @sanchezcastejon en la presentación de la Oficina Nacional de Asesoramiento Científico, ONAC. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
- Very interesting interview to understand the history of economics research in Spain before and after the dictatorship.I've enjoyed many episodes of Scott's podcast, but this one is particularly good, for several reasons. For instance, knowing that Mas-Colell failed micro three times makes me feel a lot less stupid. open.spotify.com/episode/5MLi1W…
- Escribo un breve artículo en @LaVanguardia sobre la importancia de las conferencias científicas para Barcelona. @BarcelonaGlobal Facilitemos que vengan científicos a Barcelona
