Dynare v6.0 is out! I am very happy to have contributed to a small but useful feature in this release: Brooks-Gelman convergence diagnostics for many parameters in the same figure over multiple MCMC chains. #Dynare #macroeconomics #econometrics dynare.org/new-dynare-rel…

Happy to share that my #JMP (joint w/ @splloyd_econ and @Edmanuel7), has just come out as an ESRB Working Paper. Q: What are the causal effects of macroprudential policy across the GDP-growth distribution? A thread 🧵

Meanwhile, in Physics, an author rejoices because his paper, accepted in August, has *finally* been published in a volume in the first few days of October. #EconTwitter I am in the wrong profession...
