Hi everyone, new server #introduction post!
I'm a researcher at #IIASA working on #energyaccess, #decentlivingstandards and equitable #energytransitions predominantly for communities in the global South. I mainly work with #rstats.
I apply #econometric methods to describe #inequities and understand the effects of #policy intervention. I also sometimes use #spatial methods to map things.
The threads on #econtwitter were/are incredibly helpful to my research and I look forward more here!
All of America tryin get #TaylorSwiftTickets all day today

Sharing two #opendata #openscience
#data sets possibly useful to those #teaching #quantitative #causalinference or #econometric methods.

The first is a basic fixed-effects study of helmet use on *two*-rider motorcycles. I find it useful for teaching internal validity, common support & sneaking in some theory (the "Peltzman hypothesis").
