I am happy to announce that our Econ. paper template (a.k.a “aea” extension) has been added to the @quarto.org article listing.
I will soon update our github repo to include a more detailed instructions to use this template! Spread the words :)

It is still a bit preliminary, but I think quarto will soon be a superior alternative to LyX.

Some benefits of the quarto-based template:

1. Use simple markdown code: No need for writing full latex code.

2. Get pdf, tex, and html output at the same time.

3. Easily input codes directly into the document.

… and many more!

Okay, I started to make a "quarto-format" academic working paper that is often used in Econ. It is currently at a preliminary stage, so any comments/issues/pull requests are welcome!

OTOH, I think it is now a perfect time to switch from LaTeX beamer to Quarto HTML slides.

Typst: Compose papers faster Focus on your text and let Typst take care of layout and formatting. Sign up now and speed up your writing process.

Typst looks very promising, but I think I will stick to LaTeX until a smoother transition becomes available. I need some official Typst-version of "texreg" package in R to migrate.

I just migrated my website to Quarto. So far, it is amazing. Finally, I can write posts on my site with ease.

News from #ASSA2025: There are only about 30 Black economists who received their PhDs after 2006 in economics departments. The share of economists who are Black has remained at 3% over the last 15+ years. The share of economists who are Hispanic has increased to 6% from 4% over the same timespan.

PhD program 1st-semester grades coming in. It seems my strategy of "thinking of coursework as a binding constraint (not as an objective function)" worked.

only problem might be that words on the picture are bit weird but that's bearable.

making DALL-E to make latex beamer title slide seems to be quite nice

So many things happened this year. Started my PhD, moved to the states, and had amazing time at Philly.

I also updated my website (in case anyone is interested): hchulkim.github.io

It was a pleasure to present my working paper “The China Shock and Internal Migration” and attend other presentations at Midwest Trade Conference, Georgia Tech! I also enjoyed all the great scholars I met there. Hope to see them all soon. For now, get busy with PhD applications!

This would not have been possible without my amazing coauthor Seung Hoon Lee (Yonsei University) and Ji Sub Park (Bank of Korea)! I will soon come back with a nice thread!

My first paper “The Well-being of Cities: Estimating Migration Attractiveness from Internal Migration across Korean Cities” just got accepted at Global Economic Review. As a busy Master student applying for 2024 fall Ph.D, I am glad to hear such nice news on the way. #econsky
