Repost #EconSky

I first read Goodman-Bacon's paper on #DiD and understanding the underlying 2x2 DiDs associated with every Two Way Fixed Effects, it really blew my mind. I found it tough to navigate, but i went step by step. I enclose below the Stata code, which does a simple GB DiD step by step.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.

🎖️🇺🇦 Zelensky: Awarded our soldiers with the Golden Star and presented the awards to the families of the Heroes of Ukraine, who were awarded the title posthumously.

It is thanks to the fact that millions of our people really stood up for defense of Ukraine, that Ukraine was able to preserve.

Luxemburg hat gerade mal 600k Mitbewohner. Soviel wie Essen in NRW. 0-4 ist eine TOLLE Leistung. Hopp Lux.

49 years ago today
The Sex Pistols recorded their first single, "Anarchy in the U.K." It would be a smash, despite being banned by the BBC.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

I would have some compassion for these people but so many military families voted MAGA so my compassion is very limited.

Despicable war crimes by the Russians. My heart goes out to all Ukrainians. Absolute heroes fighting for all of Europe and the West. Cowardly and traitorous behaviour from the US for ABANDONING your sworn duties to protect Ukraine.
