A Curated List of All ‘Metrics Monday Posts

I do all my teaching in the fall. With the end of the semester and the Holidays coming soon, witha few research papers I would like to finish before my spring fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study begins, and with other responsibilities, blogging necessarily takes the backseat.

Still, I thought I should assemble of all my ‘Metrics Monday posts (including those proto-‘Metrics Monday posts, i.e., posts about econometrics before ‘Metrics Monday was even a thing). I am also making a separate page for this list, and that page will be updated every time I add a post to the ‘Metrics Monday series.

(Incidentally, I am getting to a point where I have covered a lot of what I wanted to cover as part of this series, and I am running out of inspiration; requests from readers are much appreciated.)

Here is the list:

  1. Fads and Fashions in Econometrics
