    #EconTwitter I have created a new DiD Resources page on my website. It has links to all of my DiD teaching slides, coding exercises, and packages I've created. All this info was technically already online, but hopefully this makes it easier to find it! jonathandroth.com/did-resources/

    My grandfather survived Auschwitz, worked his ass off to get a PhD in physics despite 5 years of slave labor w no schooling, and came to the US to build the camera for the Apollo missions. But I guess you don't want ppl like that in our country anymore you ungrateful jackass

    Hey @MIT, I'll be a visiting prof in your econ dept next yr. Could you clarify the "context" in which it's ok for your students to call for me & my family to be murdered? I want to avoid awkwardly calling out my wannabe murderers when they're actually following your rules

    I'm very frustrated reading a proof that says "the conclusion is immediate from equation (XX)", when in fact the conclusion is not obvious from the stated equation. What's worse is the author of the paper is me 2 years ago

    Hey #EconTwitter - was your New Year's resolution to catch up on the recent DiD literature? If so, you might like our new review paper, What's Trending in Difference-in-Differences? A Synthesis of the Recent Econometrics Literature jonathandroth.github.io/assets/files/D…

    #EconTwitter Have you replaced your dynamic TWFE event-study with an event-study from one of the recent DiD methods for staggered timing? If so, you may be interested in this short note on interpreting event-studies from these new methods. A short 🧵 jonathandroth.com/assets/files/H…

    I’m glad to see a weak IV paper getting so much attention! Since I know a lot of ppl won’t read past the abstract, I thought it might be helpful to do a short thread on the paper. 1/

    For all people doing IV in their work, this brand new paper seems *very* relevant! arxiv.org/abs/2010.05058 One important takeaway msg is: Rule of 1st stage F stats > 10 can be very misleading. Authors also give nice alternative inference tools that can “rescue” us all!

    I think people don't fully appreciate how much effort goes into creating and maintaining good R/Stata packages. Folks like @lrberge (fixest) and my student Mauricio Bravo (gtools, Stata honestdid), among many others, are true silent heroes. 🍺 to all the stats sw developers!

    10 years ago I took my 1st econometrics class as an undergrad at Penn (w/@PaulaAureo). Today I presented a paper at the Penn econometrics seminar. Progress often feels slow, but sometimes you look back and see just how far you've come. Pretty cool.
