The Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony Is Moving to Europe (after 35 years in the USA) #EconTwitter #satire #science

Excited to share our new paper!
We ask: what actually drives residential construction across Europe? Using monthly data & ARDL cointegration methods, we identify 2 regimes across GER, FRA, the NED, BEG & Austria.

🇩🇪: interest rates, construction costs & unemployment drive permits; a "fundamental, supply-side" regime

🇫🇷🇳🇱: income & house price momentum dominate; "speculative, demand-side" regimes

🇧🇪: intermediate

🇦🇹: consistent with a dominant non-profit housing sector

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?

Sumner LaCroix presents paper with Edwyna Harris on long-run effect of random land distribution to settlers in the Wakefield colony of Adelaide, at the 2023 Asia-Pacific economic history conference (Sydney). Does the initial distribution mechanism affect long run outcomes? No spoilers, read the paper!
