(I have found some already of course). Also anyone willing to discuss this as a potential area of research or have other ideas? Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I am attending the industrial organization class in my master's program. we must present at least one paper from AER/AEA to our class. Because I decided to continue my education in Data science after finishing my economics master's, I would like to present my presentation about the application of Data science methods in IO or the intersection of them. I appreciate that suggest papers about it. If these papers have slides would be great.

Thank you sincerely.

Hello everyone! For my college course, I need to write a paper on american economic history. For our topic, we are writing on the effects of county level Prohibition on midwest migration. Does anyone have suggestions for resources that could be of use? We need to create our own data tables/figures, so access to something like census records or records on law enforcement would be very helpful.

Could anyone point me in the direction of specific databases or resources to help with this? I am struggling to find data on how strict prohibition was enforced in specific counties.

Thank you to anyone who may be able to help!

I have been thinking a lot about the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on African economies. Not only in terms of the direct increase in grain prices and energy ... but also indirect impacts such as through the market for agricultural inputs such as fertilizer and pesticides.

I want to learn more about the various ways in which global and regional shocks (such as financial crises, wars, trade wars and economic sanctions) impact the domestic economies of countries. Perhaps focusing more on developing countries.

I would appreciate any textbook and non textbook recommendations. As well as any seminal papers or recent research that you find interesting within this topic.

What are some key thinkers/authors I should be looking out for?

I want to write a paper this summer but I don't have any experience in research. I'm in my 3rd year, so I am an undergraduate student. Should I ask my professor for a specific research topic or should I come up with my own? I know that finding a topic is a big part of research, but since I am an undergraduate student and don't know anything about research, is it okay to ask my professor for a research topic?

I'm about to finish my econ Msc and haven't read a lot of papers yet, so I would like to ask you about your experience.

What kind of research do you do and what programming languages do you usually see used in the papers you read (in the replication materials). Have you noticed any shifts in the recent years?

Before starting my BSc I learned a few programming languages, but I prefer to write in python most of the time. However, most of the papers I read used stata, Matlab, and R for econometrics, and mainly Matlab and Fortran for macro. I hear that Julia is also an up-and-comer. What do you see getting more traction in your field in the next 5 years?

I'm am not asking for "what language should I learn". I can start writing in a new language tomorrow. The issue is that when I start my PhD I expect to create many tools/libraries along the way and I don't want my code to be considered legacy by the time I get my degree. I also know that some languages are better than other's for some things, but I'm am focusing on my "main" one.

Sorry if this isn't a post about econ papers, but it's ecocpapers-adjacent and I don't know of any other place with this specific experience, that specializes in programming.

Below I will attach the essay brief, any help on how you would structure this essay, any recommended sources or theory you would implement would be a huge help! Also this piece is limited to 750 words.

a) Long-run economic growth depends on a wide and varied range of factors. Critically discuss the main drivers of long-run economic growth and attempt to assess their relative importance for modern-day economic development. You may wish to refer to the Solow and Romer models which we have covered in class, but you should not feel constrained from extending your discussion beyond them.

[40% of marks for the question]

b) Using appropriate empirical examples of different countries and/or different time periods, expand on your discussion from Part a) to offer additional detail on how economic development policies might evolve over time. Give specific attention to the trade-offs that policymakers face when trying to promote economic development as well as the approaches to overcoming the challenges of the last decade.

Dear economists,

I am a Ph.D. student and want to extract some county-level data from the US census (such as average income, education, etc.). However, I have a hard time interpreting the US Census data. I have tried US Census data, ACS, and IPUMS and have been confused by all. For example, take into account IPUMS data: why some countyfips are zero?! or why some hhincomes are 9,999,999?!

Do you know any paper with published codes where I can find how economists extract county-level data from related data sources? Or do you know any good references explaining the confusion of such sources?

Or take into account ACS data:

Hi all. I have run a regression in Stata on financial covenants contained in the loan contracts. My results are the following:

• Banks that have more assets have loan contracts with less strict financial covenants.
• Banks that have more income have loan contracts with more strict financial covenants.

How can one explain the reasoning behind this?

Thanks

I can conceptualice numerous transmission channels (PPP/CIP/BP), but would love to read more about the topic and explore the academic approach.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all. I am trying to match Dealscan data on loans and Compustat data on companies.

I am using the "new" version of Dealscan (not Dealscan Legacy), and thus have to generate a facility id to be able to merge it later with Compustat. I have been able to do so successfully. However, when using Chava & Roberts linking table (How does Financing Impact Investment? The Role of Debt Covenants," with Sudheer Chava, Journal of Finance 2008, 63, 2085 - 2121.), I do not have any common facility id in that table and in my Dealscan data. Problem is that in Chava and Robert's table, the largest facility id is 385433, and in my Dealscan data all of them are greater than 385433. Do you know if there is any other table I might use for the linking?

Thanks.

Hello everyone

I aim to research how committing to a more green environment can influence the economic growth of a country. Since almost all variables that measure environmental commitment such as environmental protective investments, Co2, policy stringencies are endogenous to growth hence refute my results I aim to take the introduction of green parties to a country's parliament as my variable to measure green commitment.

I aim to analyze the impact of the environmental commitment of a country to its GDP. I want to see how the increase or decrease in the green party's share affects GDP growth of the respective country

What statistical method is suitable?

I thought of different in different but I can't compare the country's growth after the introduction of the green party to a GDP without the green party since there is no control group to isolate the treatment effect

Thank you all so much for helping me

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm doing a term paper on the Bolivian Government's response to Covid-19 and was wondering where I could find archived news articles.

The wikipedia covers the timeline from March 10, 2020 to May 2021. I'm looking for policy changes and other Covid related news that happened between May to June 2022.

Much appreciated.
