Hi #econtwitter #rstats,

Looking for great blog posts or talks on reproducible workflows w/ #QuartoPub in R/Python.
Also, examples of high-profile irreproducibility blunders 😉. I'm interested in literate programming, version control w/ Git/GitHub, & dep management with uv & renv. Any suggestions?

The Federal Trade Commission is hiring PhD Economists (very late, due to the shutdown)!

PCO: A New Model of Ownership

Partial Common Ownership (PCO) is a flexible template for reconfiguring property relations, which has inspired many of us at RadicalxChange because it opens the door to a different kind of conversation about #capitalism.

Ross Gittins expands on my argument against #NAIRU #auspol #econtwitter https://www.smh.com.au/business/the-economy/what-s-kept-us-from-full-employment-is-a-bad-idea-that-won-t-die-20230924-p5e74p.html

I've been making this point a lot recently, thinking it was original, but @delong posted it more than a year ago. The accelerationist model of inflation from which the NAIRU is derived works only for the 1970s.

Earlier inflations in the 1950s, and the current #inflation don't fit the model at all well, in either US or Australia.

Pre-NAIRU Keynesian understanding of the Phillips curve saw strong aggregate demand as driving both lower unemployment and higher inflation.
In #NAIRU model, transmission mechanism is from (low) unemployment to wages to prices.

Appointment of Bullock as RBA Governor reaffirms #Labor's commitment to #NAIRU model, inlcuding need for unemployment above NAIRU to keep inflation down.
Labor has abandoned Full Employment, or redefined it out of existence. #econtwitter

But #RMITFactlab declined to list Albanese's commitment to a Full Employment Summit and White Paper as a promise, let alone assess whether it has been broken.

Alright tooter, here comes my first #EconTwitter question.

What is your favourite recent paper applying #SyntheticControl ?

I am currently reading Hansen & McNichols (2020) but am looking for more. Working on a synth project and want to see what's considered best practice in applied settings. Dw, I have the theory side covered!
