Now that we're all back home from #SEA2021 , I'd like to give a huge shout out to @brittanyrstreet , who singlehandedly chaired three econ of crime sessions (also organizing two of those!) as well as arranging social activities for crime econ folks. What a service to the field! 👏

Using some time on this first proper workday of the year to identify what exact, broken down steps I will take for each of my projects in the coming two months to bring them closer to becoming a wp/publication. Planning to use it as a reminder for where to put my time and energy.

Hivemind, please recommend me applied micro papers that use Google Trends data. I'd love to see how they dealt with the issue of comparing search terms in popularity when everything is benchmarked to peak search = 100. Thanks, #EconTwitter !

My good fortune brought me back to Ireland swiftly, for another conference. Being so north in the summer is incredible. This pic captures what the light looks like at 10 pm(!)—the sun has only recently sat over the Atlantic + you can still easily see the islands off the coast.🌊

Stata folks: I want to make this graph. 👇 But when I reghdfe and then coefplot, keep(yminus12-yminus2 y0-y12) I obviously miss plotting a point on zero with sd=0 for t-1. How do I add that point? The internet left me without answers. Or I didn't know how to ask it.
