Next up at NBER DEV: Natalia Rigol on "Targeting High Ability Entrepreneurs Using Community Information: Mechanism Design in the Field"
With Reshmaan Hussam and Ben Roth:

This paper is a nice application of some of the concepts described by Esther Duflo in her Master Lecture yesterday, combining field work, causal inference and machine learning.

Now being presented at NBER DEV summer institute: "Outsourcing Service Delivery in a Fragile State: Experimental Evidence from Liberia"

Important impact evaluation of a large & controversial education policy.

By @marome1, @JustinSandefur &
@wsandholtz

nber.org/conf_papers/f1…
At baseline, learning in Liberian schools was extremely low. Even after 6 years of schooling, less than 20% were able to read (compared to over 90% in Burundi).
Students in the treatment group were learning about 60% more per year than those in the control group.

Do you estimate an RDD & want to do subgroup analyses while holding other covariates constant? Then you might be interested in our new approach using reweighting.

Includes Stata command rddsga (RDD SubGroupAnalysis). Comments welcome!

With @alvcarril
dropbox.com/s/m0d48plkt8il…
Before I started using regression discontinuity design (RDD) in practice, I imagined that doing subgroup analysis would be as simple as in an IV or RCT setting.

It turns out it's not. One cannot simply interact the treatment dummy with a characteristic of interest.
In the "standard" case that I was used to before, where one can interact the characteristic of interest with the treatment dummy, holding other observable characteristics constant is simple: just interact them with the treatment dummy too.

So, for #SWRepMatters today, I'm just going to do a general overview on how well I think #StarWars has done in terms of #Representation in 2018 (including releases in late 2017), and how I want it to do better in 2019 and beyond. First, the good: 1/
For me personally, the shining example of an amazing, well written, and compelling character of color was Iden Versio. @MitchyD #Battlefront2 and @ChristieGolden's #Inferno Squad gifted us with a complex, multifaceted, badass brown Asian woman who faces moral quandaries and 2/
challenges that virtually anyone could see themselves in. @Janina played this wonderful character, bringing representation in a main protagonist that so many in the world had not seen in Star Wars before. We got to go on a lifetime journey wither her in both book and screen, 3/

This is exactly the type of over the top nonsense that could put Trump in the White House for four more years.

Harris faces backlash for comparing ICE to KKK @CNNPolitics cnn.it/2Q43zax
@CNNPolitics Biden, Clinton, Warren ....
There are some sensible candidates who appeal to middle class voters, but they had better get going (at least one of them).
Or it’s four more years ...
@CNNPolitics Brown, Beto ....
The list of thinking Democrats is a long one. But they had better get going.

More #Twitter BIAS. Look up "Trump Rally" on twitter and this is at the top.

Left's been calling Cohen a liar & crook all this time, until he suddenly claimed Trump was racist, after he was indicted. Now they believe him b/c it's fits their narrative.

Notice they never do this sort of thing for Obama rallies. In fact, when you look up Obama rally, here's what's at the top.

"Trump emphasizes the "H" in Barack Obama's name"

#TwitterBias @realDonaldTrump @parscale
Here's what's at the top when you look up "Gillum Rally"

"Hispanics, blacks, Jews, gays and other minorities should vote against Trump’s candidates"

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

🤡 (1) Twitter has never been all that friendly to conservatives but more than ever accounts are vanishing, week long twitmo punishments handed out, IP bans, #shadowbans and now big accounts are under attack. Spoiler alert: it’s going to get worse and here’s why... #seanhannity
(2) We all got “the email” the one that basically debunked #RussiaBots but @SenFeinstein & @AdamSchiffCA still wrote a letter (more on that later) BUT did you read the blog $TWTR shared? Because it’s important they informed us they had partners helping now. Who are they?
(3) Let’s start with the big fish, Common Sense Media, based out of San Francisco, hugely funded and owned by James (aka Jim) Steyer and guess who his brother is??
