#teachecon — Public Fediverse posts

This is a candidate for Sestriere city council (highest muni in Europe, major resort town). Should be studied in #TeachEcon and #Sociology courses to understand Europe’s neofascist approach to anything.

Yes, an easily downloadable data set of all the Tesla fatalities would make a great addition to my intro to stats class, why do you ask?

1/45) This is a re-post of a popular thread of mine from Twitter for students (or their advisors!) applying to Economics graduate degrees. I'll be focused on MA, but some of this is relevant for Ph.D.

I initially wrote this thread after my first year on an MA applications committee when it became clear that there was a *lot* of hidden information harming people’s applications. Five years later that's still the case!

You're grading and think you've detected a case of "CheatGPT" but can't definitively prove it. What would you do?
#teachEcon #chatGPT

Also, as far as anyone has been able to determine, I'm the first non-tenure-track academic appointed to the board. (#TeachEcon #NonTenureTrack)

More in #teachecon hot-takes for #econtwitter: Solving the long-run input-hiring profit-max problem for an individual firm in a competitive market isn't uniquely identified for any cost function.

To provide a different narrative to some of the ChatGPT+assessment posts: I'm giving a short-form writing assignment and allowing students to use ChatGPT.

My rationale: like Excel, Wikipedia, spellchecker (! Remember when hullabaloo that first came out?) it forms part of a new professional "toolkit" and there's no point in pretending otherwise. Let students learn how to integrate it into their work process.

Question for #econtwitter and the #teachecon twitteratti: why do we still torture students with the distinctions between demand/quantity demanded and supply/quantity supplied?
Do they even use it after principles?
Do researchers distinguish between them?

The 2023 edition of the Minority Report, a joint production of the AEA’s Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession (CSMGEP), the American Society of Hispanic Economists (ASHE), the Association for Economic Research of Indigenous Peoples (AERIP) and the National Economic Association (NEA) has now been posted. https://assets.aeaweb.org/asset-server/files/17931.pdf #TeachEcon #EconResearch

Hello #econtwitter, second year graduate student here.

How does one improve their understanding of #metrics? I'm asking this hoping for course ideas, book suggestions, but also some sort of step by step because #metrics is genuinely difficult for ya girl!

Tagging some #metrics superstars to get this conversation started: @paulgp @instrumenthull @ben_golub @khoavuumn

@mehconomics Regarding #teachecon, I teach environmental economics at Harvard (PhD) and in Oslo (Master) and would love to receive suggestions for the syllabuses:

Glad so many people liked this. Sadly I have no time at the moment to clean/comment/simplify the code.

I'm sharing it anyways https://github.com/simonheb/metrics1-public. Please use email or github pull request to share any updates/additions/improvements to the code that you might do. #TeachEcon

7. Confidence intervals #TeachEcon

Of course, this whole thread of vizualisations should've used #TeachEcon

📔 : Using #tags will help people find your stuff. Here are some suggestions (note that there is no "correct" way to do this, but coordination helps):

#introduction (for introductions)

#econjobmarket (if you are on either side this year)

#conference
#seminar
#webinar

#newpaperalert
#TeachEcon
#EconResearch
#EconMedia

And the best for last:
#memes

@chrisadamsecon @paulgp

I propose
#TeachEcon #EconResearch #EconMedia as three additional tags to distinguish teaching, research, and media articles/blogs/general interest posts.
