Glædelig international mandedag! I dag går mine tanker ud til følgende figur fra @rockwoolfonden.bsky.social. Mænd: 👉 Er et helt karakterpoint bagefter i gennemsnit ved 9. klasses afgangseksamen 👉 Får i MARKANT lavere grad børn 👉 Dør i langt højere grad af fortvivlelsesdødsfald #dkpol

🚨 DID Paper Thread 🚨 Are you confused about which new DID estimator to use? A bit more than a year ago, I wrote a short paper that gives a simple answer. I just completed a revision of that paper so here’s a 🧵 to celebrate! 1/N

Still confused about which DID estimator to use? If you are at #EWMES2023 tomorrow (Monday), you can stop by my presentation to get the answer! 9.00 am in Room 4.214. (Big thanks to @cdechaisemartin.bsky.social for setting up the session!)

I am at #EALE2023 but for the life of me I can’t seem to find a “list of participants” anywhere. If you are here as well and want to catch up, send a DM/mail/reply/whatever! #EALE2023prague

Are you confused about which new DiD estimator to use? If you are at #EALE2023 this week, then stop by my presentation Friday and I’ll tell you the answer! “Difference-in-Differences and Efficient Estimation of Treatment Effects” Room 243, Friday 11.45 #econsky
