Overlapping Confidence Intervals | econometrics.blog Perhaps you’ve seen a claim like this in an applied paper: “the estimated effect for Group A is statistically significant, but the estimated effect for Group B is not; this treatment helps As but not ...

Always a good reminder, I still see this error quite often:

"The difference between significant and not significant is not itself significant. If you want to carry out inference for a difference, you need to construct the standard error for that difference."

just looking at the appraisal data half the neighbors on my street of 12 homes have appraisals that are 10-20% above what they could sell for this year (including me which is why I'm protesting)

maybe it different in Houston, but here they do not give you this until after the appeal is filed and even then it is just whatever they used, which in my experience doesn't make a lot of sense. i think part of the reason people get mad about property taxes is their basis on nonsense appraisals

Property tax protest season in Texas! Does anyone know why sales data are not public? Impossible to generate comps for my own purposes and for the appraisers whose valuations are evidently based on very thin data

Did you know that PRAMS is still not collecting data at all right now? That means a permanent disruption to monitoring - a gap in data and our ability to monitor the health of moms and babies that will be there, forever, because of these disruptions, regardless of whether these cuts stick
