Some under-the-radar applied metrics papers that have proven useful in revising some papers: a thread
1. Simple Tests for Selection: Learning More from Instrumental Variables by Dan Black et al. (HT @mic_d_bates )
papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
2. Explaining Causal Findings Without Bias: Detecting and Assessing Direct Effects (HT @marcfbellemare)
cambridge.org/core/journals/…
3. A simple diagnostic to investigate instrument validity and heterogeneous effects when using a single instrument
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I will now procrastinate on this thread for a few minutes to return to revising said papers
4. Testing Local Average Treatment Effect Assumptions mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
5. The entire Symposium on Empirical Methods in Spring 2015 issue of @J_HumanResource jhr.uwpress.org/content/50/2.t…. But especially the first 4.
6. Sample Attrition in Panel Data: The Role of Selection on Observables.
jstor.org/stable/2007619…
7. Quantile Regression with Nonadditive Fixed Effects by @thedavidpowell, w bonus @Stata code. sites.google.com/site/davidmatt…
8. Regression Discontinuity Designs With Sample Selection by Yingying Dong
tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
*should add that "under the radar" is not a pejorative - probably just means I am LATE to the party. and bseides, some of my best papers are under the radar.

This is hopefully a useful reading for upper-level ug and graduate courses in econ of ed / ed policy / teacher policy classes! Enjoy.
It's a nontechnical review (ok fine I snuck in one equation) of several literatures an topics:

-value added
-classroom observations
-returns to teaching experience
-teacher diversity
-teacher training programs
-in-service PD
-teacher labor supply (and teacher absences)
probably some other things I am forgetting. looking through the references, lots of prolific tweeters are also prolific researchers. important work by

Super excited that our book on teacher diversity, w @DrMikeHansen & @Dr_ConstanceL will be published by @Harvard_Ed_Pub in Feb 2021. It’s available for pre-order now !! so claim your copies today: hepg.org/hep-home/books…
The book's premise is that newish causal evidence, along with older qualitative evidence, on the benefits of same-race teachers points to teacher race as an important but often overlooked policy lever. 2/
In other words: ***Teacher diversity is teacher quality*** and should be treated as such in teacher recruitment, assignment, and retention policy. Many states and districts have started to take diversity seriously, though not enough strategic policy guidance in this space. 3/

on-boarding a new grad student this fall and formalizing my previously haphazard, "need to know" approach to sharing readings.

goal is to assign one "skills based" reading per week in addition to the regular research stuff.

here's what I have; comments and suggestions welcome
1. how to do good descriptive work by @loeb_susanna @dynarski @econsarahreber et al.

2. Code and Data for the Social Sciences:
A Practitioner's Guide, Gentzkow and Shapiro

This tweet was more popular that I expected. So here's a thread of other user-written @stata commands that I find useful 1/
But first, why did u like the tweet? Did it make u feel... 2/
Let's start w commands that help present/describe data/results. This is super important and w/o it, all the fancy methods in the world won't matter. 3/
