#EconTwitter I'm very excited to present our new working paper (nber.org/papers/w33050) at @BrownUniversity tomorrow! Thanks for hosting me! A mid-sized 🧵 TL;DR: "Racial differences in income unable to explain a meaningful share of gaps in ambient air pollution exposure."

Alis paper develops new tools to measure discrimination in eviction filings, and uncovers a lot of it. I learned a ton in talking to her about this important work. Very well deserved!

Congratulations to Alison Lodermeier (PhD '24) for winning the 2024 APPAM PhD Dissertation Award for her dissertation "Essays on the Economics of Eviction." Amazing work Alison!

At least one in six workers in management, business, and computer-related occupations is using generative AI at work every day. Also, 22% of blue collar workers use AI. From our new paper, "The Rapid Adoption of Generative AI": static1.squarespace.com/static/60832ec…

Please RT/spread the word about this online causal inference course! Starting September 9th -- I'm very excited for it!

I had a great time teaching a minicourse on design-based econometrics in Bergen last week. See attached for a snapshot of what we talked about! For those outside of Norway, I'll be teaching a version of the course online in two weeks. Sign up here! mixtapesessions.io/session/design…

This was an extremely fun paper to be a part of! How can we evaluate whether a transformer has uncovered the right "world model"?

New paper: How can you tell if a transformer has the right world model? We trained a transformer to predict directions for NYC taxi rides. The model was good. It could find shortest paths between new points But had it built a map of NYC? We reconstructed its map and found this:
