As mentioned on the about page, I plan to use this blog to write about research on a semi-regular basis. I will (mostly) focus on working papers because they are normally not paywalled, there is a long publication lag in economics that makes working papers more relevant than published papers and the ‘new economics papers’ mailing lists provide a steady stream of new ready material.

My plan is to do two related write-ups for each paper. The first will be aimed at non-economists. I will try to explain why the paper is interesting and what the paper does in a non-technical fashion. Then, in the second part, I will provide additional details, clarifications and technicalities that might be relevant to practitioners.

The first actual post should be up shortly after this one.
