no sorry, when I said 'really looking forward to your feedback' I meant I was looking forward to you telling me this was the best presentation you'd ever seen

A father and son are both economists. They work at separate universities. When the son comes up for tenure, the chair says 'I cannot evaluate this case because this is my son.' How is this possible?

Hot take: You would not be able to publish AJR 2001 in an econ journal today

"Cate that's such a pretty name, is it short for catherine?"

My daughter: "No, it's conditional average treatment effect"
