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)!

US Citizenship and two page resume required. We need the resume to do some bureaucracy. Don't upload a CV and assume someone will make that work.

What are your favorite academic (and academic-adjacent) blogs?

I’m particularly interested in folks who blog about their research, computing, productivity, writing, and open science.

I’ll drop some of my favorites into the replies as well.

What’s your go-to reference for best practices for power analysis for a survey experiment? Maybe I’m not up-to-date, but it seems like a big gap between the well-developed theory and the (missing?) practical, concrete advice.

Whoa, well hello like literally all of #EconTwitter #EconToots! 👋👋

I’m not technically one of you, but my #publicpolicy background lets me sometime pretend to do economics, so. 🤣

So excited to see so many of you here from Twitter! Check out this list of #poliscitwitter #polisciodon too https://brentonpeterson.github.io/Mastodon-PoliScientists/

Hello World
I hope this social experiment will work. We need to rapidly gros.
I'm part of #twittermigration and I'd like to connect with #academictwitter #philosophy #econtwitter #poliscitwitter #socscitwitter

Does anyone know a good textbook treatment of individual fixed effects at undergrad level? Ideally no or little maths. #soctwitter #poliscitwitter #econtwitter
