I'm on the #EconJobMarket! I study how policies and childhood environments shape outcomes of low-income & vulnerable kids.

In my JMP, I study the effects of allowing youth who would have aged out of foster care at 18 to stay until 21—offering support their peers not in foster care get from parents.

For sure. When we wrote the peer effects research letter, we couldn’t have a supplement so even the methods went mostly unexplained. (We cited our analysis plan which did describe them… maybe good enough but not ideal)

Adam Sacarny @asacarny.bsky.social · 8d

I wish they were more of a thing for econ papers. 600 words prob too short but 1,000 might work. Like I'm v proud of our paper on peer effects w/ @andrewolenski.bsky.social @mlbarnett.bsky.social (jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...). JHE would have been a logical target but writing costs were high.

Adam Sacarny @asacarny.bsky.social · 8d

Love them for getting a simple fact out! Or reporting a study that might otherwise get file-drawered because costs of writing up the whole thing are too high. One thing that bugged me was that JAMA series journals wouldn't accept supplements for them, but that seems to have changed.

Do you love health economics and learning about cool new research? Do you like telling other people about it? Come and be a social media editor at AJHE!! We're looking for someone to join our editorial team @ashecon.bsky.social

This is *extremely* bad (for the accuracy of my paper introductions about tech adoption)

...we were wrong. A trial in this month's NEJM confirms what many cardiologists had already come to realize: beta blockers don't help most of the time in the reperfusion era. (2/2) www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

@allanmjoseph.bsky.social has been telling me there needs to be a "Dartmouth Atlas, but for pediatrics" for maybe a literal decade? And now there is!

Development of an Atlas for US Pediatric Acute Care

This cross-sectional study offers a national US atlas of pediatric acute care centers in the US.

I believe it’s used all the time in epi / public health for binary outcomes! Coefficients have a nice interpretation as relative risk ratios. And often used for estimating vaccine effectiveness, like in the RCT of the Novavax vaccine for Covid: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

This rules!! Just FYI there is a minor typo on the Scheduling page ("Both Intercity and Commuter trains are scheudled every 15 minutes at consistent and predictable intervals.")

Adam Sacarny @asacarny.bsky.social · Oct 15

Just don't run predictive margins!! They are not the same!

Adam Sacarny @asacarny.bsky.social · Oct 15

Toying around with this yesterday in Stata, clogit, xtpoisson, and ppmlhdfe were pretty similar in speed. But I just had one level of fixed effects (the group id). I would bet if you have additional fixed effects in the regression ppmlhdfe is far superior.

Fun fact: you can estimate a conditional logit by running a fixed effects Poisson. They yield the same estimates and standard errors - they maximize the same likelihood. Poisson regression forever!

@instrumenthull.bsky.social where are we on this?
