Resources
Here are some resources that helped me tremendously (inspired by Javier Donna)
Computation
- Logit demand
- Kenneth Train’s codes on mixed logit
- Jason Blevin’s post on log sum of exponentials (what to do when my logit demand explodes?)
- Dynamic discrete choice
- Victor Aguirregabiria’s compilation of codes on dynamic discrete choice
- Jaap H. Abbring and Tobias J. Klein’s notes and codes on dynamic discrete choice
- Code optimization
- Sparse grid for numerical integration
- Ken Judd’s Computational Economics course on numerical methods
- Code repositories for published papers
- AEA journals (AER, AEJ)
- Econometrica
- ReStud
- Journal of Finance: scroll down on Wiley and click on supporting information
- Others
- BU Research Computing Support’s guide on running batch jobs on a cluster and parallel computing with MATLAB
- QuantEcon: a Jupyter notebook library for economics and finance
- Matching data in financial databases
Notes
- Chris Conlon’s Panel Data Econometrics and IO
- Scott Cunningham’s Causal Inference: The Mixtape
- Jonathan Levin’s notes on market design and IO
My go-to R packages
- Output LaTeX tables:
stargazer
,texreg
(supportsfixest
),xtable
- Fixed effects for linear models:
plm
(at most 2-way, needclubSandwich
for clustering, good for 1 fixed effect with many unique values),lfe
(clustering, fast) - Fixed effects for non-linear models:
fixest
(description),alpaca
- Data wrangling:
dplyr
,broom
(turn regression results into a data frame),fastDummies
