Can we start an economic journal where all the articles are summaries of projects that would otherwise be abandoned?
There is so much to learn from research questions with non-significant results, lack of necessary data, identification problems, etc.

One of my biggest struggles with research is knowing when to stop working on a problem and ask for help.
I tend to wait until marginal returns per hours worked is 0, and surely that’s not optimal 🤷♀️

I told my mom I was saving the dirty dishes for “my future self.” She was confused and unimpressed.
I was trying to think of the jargony word(s) I use most often (or have to stop myself from using), in "normal" conversation.
Exogenous/endogenous?
Ex-ante/ex-post?
Marginal?
What about you?
