Without him, the world might have never been able to imagine the horrors of what happened there. Toward the end of his career, he found that he could no longer photograph humans.25 May 2025 13:09 +0000at://did:plc:2dowsrnimupgtykutnhhkeda/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpyq7rgkrs2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/moritzpoll.bsky.social/post/3lp3e54rfxs2tThis is just a quick appreciation post for applied econometricians. I’m writing three papers right now and the methods I use did not yet exist when (or our understanding has dramatically improved since) I started my PhD. Amazingly timely ❤️13 May 2025 20:46 +0000at://did:plc:2dowsrnimupgtykutnhhkeda/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp3e54rfxs2thttps://bsky.app/profile/moritzpoll.bsky.social/post/3ll4nvejv3s2mKeynote at @oxfordcsae.bsky.social #OxCSAE2025 by James Robinson24 Mar 2025 11:32 +0000at://did:plc:2dowsrnimupgtykutnhhkeda/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll4nvejv3s2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/moritzpoll.bsky.social/post/3ll2apx2ptk2eVery cool technology evaluated by @berberkramer.bsky.social : Evaluating crop loss for insurance payout with crop/field photos.

Pulling out entirely is not a sensible option.22 Mar 2025 12:10 +0000at://did:plc:2dowsrnimupgtykutnhhkeda/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkxp3oirmc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/moritzpoll.bsky.social/post/3lkxosuoybk2eBack in Oxford for the @oxfordcsae.bsky.social #CSAE2025 Conference 💙22 Mar 2025 12:05 +0000at://did:plc:2dowsrnimupgtykutnhhkeda/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkxosuoybk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/moritzpoll.bsky.social/post/3lkwl4vauus2wExcited to see that #EconTwitter has found a new home on #EconSky Curious to see if we can rebuild the magic.
