If anyone in Chicago is looking for an *exceptional* predoc, I have a graduating student I can introduce to you. Send me a DM and I can share more details.
To set the record straight, Card “ran” no such “class” at Berkeley.

Quick question--in RCTs with pre and posttreatment measurement of Y, is the rationale for adjusting for Y_{t-1} instead of using unit FEs just about power, or is there some other reason?

A prominent proxy for immigrant legal status cannot detect in survey data the legalization of 2 million Mexicans under the “Reagan Amnesty” of the late 1980s and early 1990s, from @eucascio, @ethanglewis, and Chengguo Zhang nber.org/papers/w32632
*Two* WPs on immigrant legalization out this week! The 1st (w/ @ethanglewis and M. Zhang) looks at whether a prominent proxy for status in survey data can detect the legalization of 2 million Mexicans under the “Reagan Amnesty.” TL;DR: It can't. 1/n nber.org/papers/w32632
The lesson: if you want to study legal status, descriptively or causally, you may be better served by using some data source that measures legal status directly. 14/n
@ethanglewis, P. Cornell, and I do this in our 2nd working paper of the week. Stay tuned! 15/n nber.org/papers/w32635
