I'm excited to share my job market paper (for the 2025-26 market)! It introduces a new extension of RDD where outcomes are entire distributions: Regression Discontinuity Design with Distributions (R3D). Thread below 👇 (1/)
I now exclusively want to write papers called "X can be faster/better/smarter"
man, scientists working on optimizing matrix multiplications have oppenheimer level of aura - use a RL agent to spit out heckload of bilinear products - slap two MILP to combine and filter those - iterate on top of a Large Neighborhood Search flow until it’s fast fast what the
New! Efficient Estimation of Nonlinear DSGE Models, w/ Sean McCrary 📄 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... We propose a broadly applicable computationally efficient method for full-information estimation of nonlinear DSGE models.

#rstats Most applications in R run pretty quickly. But these days, many R users are faced with huge datasets and/or long-running applications, making parallel computation attractive. If you've done this, you likely have used the 'parallel' package, either directly or via…

Great blog post on my JMP, IV, and interflex! Thank you for the nice words and fun read @BeatrizGietner
We have a new post! 🙋♀️Which was a delight to write 🥰 With papers/guides by @instrumenthull, @packlesshepherd, @xuyiqing, and coauthors 🔗substack-proxy.glitch.me/articles/diddi…
