Horse drawing meme where the half of the horse that is drawn well says "Estimate causal effect" and the poorly drawn half says "Test mechanisms."

In the first part of this paper, I use a rigorous research design to estimate the causal effect of X on Y. I then turn to testing mechanisms by over-interpreting a bunch of correlations in the data.

CLAUDIA GOLDIN!!!
Nick Cox got a call from the Nobel committee but he told them that they had to upload the data first.

(Or a job offer)
It's funny, cause I was gonna say it actually seemed like there are mostly American economists (compared to the people I was following on twitter?). But pretty new around here so probably just have to find them :)
Baby will thank you in 15 years for taking such a cool picture of them
