My paper with @TDeryugina @GarthHeutel @davidmolitor and Miller estimating the effect of daily air pollution on health is now forthcoming at AER. Here's a quick recap, including results of a new machine learning exercise with >40 billion observations.

@otis_reid @Afinetheorem We try to validate our structural model, calibrated using short-run estimates, by comparing its medium-run predictions to quasi-experimental estimates Todd and Wolpin (2023) have nice discussion on this topic:

@JKaufmanLungNED Blue sky!

I am not sure what your specific Dropbox sync issues are (I've encountered many over the years!), but two things I do are: 1. Avoid overwriting small files quickly, since Dropbox locks the file during syncing which can kill your script. In these cases, using a tempfile (for Stata) is typically a better option. 2. If there are gargantuan input or intermediate files in the analysis, I store them somewhere outside Dropbox. I have separate folders (`$DATA` and `$TMP`) for those purposes. The downside is that those folders are no longer synced across computers. However, these are usually for analyses that can only be run on a large desktop anyway, so I don't mind. If I'm running on AWS, I omit large intermediate files from the `aws sync` command and keep them stored only in the S3 bucket.

@toniwhited Thanks! I use the same structure with big data on AWS, where I find standardization even more imperative. I agree with you that replication standards need flexibility when analysis takes weeks/months to run. That remains to be worked out from what I can tell.

The other place is now open for all, no more invite codes

@citizeness Data for my driving and mortality RD paper are available online if you're interested:

@GaborBekes @ProfDiegoPuga @korenmiklos @larsvil @Stata Given that Stata programs are small in size and (generally) cross-platform, in my opinion it's best to always just store a copy in your replication folder.
