How could I miss it 😫 I should read his threads b4 asking an R related question.

I wonder which R packages economists use for creating nice tables in R. GT is excellent but has very poor LATEX support. So far my favorite is tinytable. Thx. @andrew.heiss.phd

Confession: reading Piketty's capital book very first time. Worse is that I am reading German version as a non native speaker.

Academic conference. You invented academic conference.

Very timely paper.

10 year ago, Oli Coibion ( @empctmacrotx.bsky.social ) and I had a paper in AEJ Macro about inflation expectations in the U.S. (www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...). We found that oil/gasoline prices strongly predict inflation expectations. This "iron law" continues to hold.

EU Climate Policy in a Globalized World: Philipp M. Richter; Joschka Wanner

I agree. But wages are also critical. Top AI minds would always prefer the US. Germany is not able to attract top minds with such a high tax burden and low level of net income.

Working with time series in R is a torture to me. Base R vs tidy principles are two different universes. Any suggestions ?

I can not imagine fixest in R

To macro people: Why do people estimate VAR's in levels without looking at cointegration? I know getting differences causes information loss but what about stability? Lutkepohl &Kilian Book: Adding one more lag solves the issue. Not satisified. Any resources for VARs in levels? #Finsky #Econsky

The relentless advance of American asset managers in Europe Powerful US groups are shaking up the market and forcing their transatlantic rivals to partner and scale up — or exit the sector
