Fused Extended Two-Way Fixed Effects for Difference-in-Differences with Staggered Adoptions
To address the bias of the canonical two-way fixed effects estimator for difference-in-differences under staggered adoptions, Wooldridge (2021) proposed the extended two-way fixed effects estimator, which adds many parameters. However, this reduces efficiency. Restricting some of these parameters to be equal (for example, subsequent treatment effects within a cohort) helps, but ad hoc restrictions may reintroduce bias.

Selon les données les plus récentes, il y a environ 5000 autobus urbains dans la province sur près de 7 millions de véhicules enregistrés. Ils s'agit donc de 0,07 % de tous les véhicules sur les routes.
La part des déplacements effectués en auto solo a aussi augmenté dans les dernières années. Elle est passée de 68,5 % en 2017 Š 73,7 % en 2021.

13 G$ pour électrifier le transport collectif : Québec fait fausse route, dit une experte
L’électrification des autobus urbains souhaitée par le gouvernement du Québec coûtera très cher. En additionnant les montants prévus par les principales sociétés de transport collectif de la province, la facture s’élève à environ 13,1 milliards de dollars dans les dix prochaines années. Des investissements importants qui ne permettront pas de maximiser les bienfaits environnementaux et l'amélioration du service, selon une experte.

NFL front offices and fans might want to wait on pumping their fists if their team drafts a quarterback on Thursday night. With as many as six quarterbacks in the running to be drafted in the first round this year, the miserable showing from 2021's first-round quarterbacks could be a cause for concern.

Nodal precession of a hot Jupiter transiting the edge of a late A-type star TOI-1518
TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter $b\sim0.9 $) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The high rotation speed of the host star ($\sim85$ km s$^{-1}$) and the nearly polar orbit of the planet ($\sim 120$ deg) may cause a nodal precession. In this study, we report the nodal precession undergone by TOI-1518\,b. This system is the fourth planetary system in whic…

A common goal in clinical trials is to conduct tests on estimated treatment effects adjusted for covariates such as age or sex. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) is often used in these scenarios to test the global null hypothesis of no treatment effect using an $F$-test. However, in several samples, the $F$-test does not provide any information about individual null hypotheses and has strict assumptions such as variance homoscedasticity.

Any interactive protocol between a pair of parties can be reliably simulated in the presence of noise with a multiplicative overhead on the number of rounds (Schulman 1996).

The Impact of School and Family Networks on COVID-19 Infections Among Dutch Students: A Study Using Population-Level Registry Data
Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models. Here, we use extensive registry data -- including PCR test results and population-level networks -- to investigate the impact of school, family, and other social contacts on SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the Netherlands (June 2020--October 2021). We isolate and compare different contexts of potential SARS-CoV-2 transmission by matching pairs of students based on their attendance at the same or different …

"Light Beams" by @… (Jason Ting) is an enchanting exploration of light and colours that might well have been inspired by the light installations of Dan Flavin. The iterations that I like most are the ones with contrasting colour temperatures, and #35 sticks out to me as especially harmonious.

Semialgebraic Range Stabbing, Ray Shooting, and Intersection Counting in the Plane
Polynomial partitioning techniques have recently led to improved geometric data structures for a variety of fundamental problems related to semialgebraic range searching and intersection searching in 3D and higher dimensions (e.g., see [Agarwal, Aronov, Ezra, and Zahl, SoCG 2019; Ezra and Sharir, SoCG 2021; Agarwal, Aronov, Ezra, Katz, and Sharir, SoCG 2022]). They have also led to improved algorithms for offline versions of semialgebraic range searching in 2D, via lens-cutting [Sharir and Zahl…

The Falsification Adaptive Set in Linear Models with Instrumental Variables that Violate the Exclusion or Conditional Exogeneity Restriction
Masten and Poirier (2021) introduced the falsification adaptive set (FAS) in linear models with a single endogenous variable estimated with multiple correlated instrumental variables (IVs). The FAS reflects the model uncertainty that arises from falsification of the baseline model. We show that it applies to cases where a conditional exogeneity assumption holds and invalid instruments violate the exclusion assumption only. We propose a generalized FAS that reflects the model uncertainty when so…

Selenskyj legt persönliche Einkünfte für 2021 und 2022 offen
Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat seine persönlichen Einkünfte für die Jahre 2021 und 2022 offengelegt. In einem Beitrag auf der Internetseite des Präsidenten meldeten Selenskyj und seine Familie für 2021 ein Einkommen von 10,8 Millionen Griwna (263.000 Euro), zwölf Millionen Griwna weniger als im Jahr zuvor. Darin waren Einnahmen aus dem Verkauf von …

The MONUMENT Experiment: Ordinary Muon Capture studies for 0$νββ$ decay
The MONUMENT experiment measures ordinary muon capture (OMC) on isotopes relevant for neutrinoless double-beta (0$νββ$) decay and nuclear astrophysics. OMC is a particularly attractive tool for improving the theoretical description of 0$νββ$ decay. It involves similar momentum transfers and allows testing the virtual transitions involved in 0$νββ$ decay against experimental data. During the 2021 campaign, MONUMENT measured OMC on $^{76}$Se and $^{136}$Ba, the isotopes relevant for next…
