Discussed a paper by Alex Bell, @BillingsEcon, @sophcalderwang, and @ShushengZhong at NBER Real Estate today. It’s an exciting, very novel paper showing a new way to identify and estimate hedonic price functions using an "anti-IV"!

Just finished reading Streets of Gold by Abramitzky and @leah_boustan. As an economist, immigrant, (and fan of MythBusters), I really enjoyed this myth-busting tale of immigration written by economists.

If you want to download and use our PUMA-by-year estimates of user-cost rates or play with the maps, you can do that here: housingusercost.org

Just finished reading The Lady Tasting Tea by David Salsburg, a light and enjoyable history of statistics and statisticians. It gives some nice background to the evolution of statistics (e.g. Fisher v. Neyman-Pearson testing) as well as plenty early 20thcentury statistics gossip!

Just finished reading The Book of Why by @yudapearl. A very interesting read. I already cover some of Pearl’s work in my grad econometrics class -- it may be time to add a little more! Next book up for me: The Lady Tasting Tea.

I'm a little biased, but I really like this paper. When I first heard the results, I immediately bought an air-quality monitor and HEPA air purifier.
