@UpdatedPriors I guess I should make the move, if you still have one.

I mean, what are national statistical agencies for if not providing me detailed cross-tabs on places like this. Little know fact: this place inspired Romer's model of expanding varieties.

@jarmin_ron @UpdatedPriors Come on, how can we not have an separate code? Like 71399000000099875478 - outdoor rental, gambling, personal care, legal services? I also want to see the Make/Use table entries for these guys.

@jasoncrawford IiRC these were most detailed, so might get some product data. But feels like this should just be on the FAO somewhere, right?

@jasoncrawford Did you look at OECD soil nitrogen balances? They give inflows and outflows (e.g crops), but might not be at the crop level. You might be able to infer something from that. Banged my head against this wall a few years ago as well.

@_alice_evans @MartinFiszbein @yeonha_jung Same idea, but we look at it across a range of crops w/in the US, which excludes traditional paddy rice. Some crops are more like rice than others in labor intensity, and that variation explains some variation in individualism. Makes Talhelm more broadly applicable.

@mattsclancy You have time to plan. Best case scenario you guys will get together around 2077.
