Coding

Check out my main github page to see some of the coding things I’ve been working on lately. I really don’t think of myself as a coder. However, I do try and be resourceful when I come across unsolved problems in my own research. On occasion this can lead me to some unintentional public good provision. I work almost entirely in R, but I have had to make some forays into Julia and Bash scripts.

R Package: “staggeredSynthDid” (no longer maintained, better alternatives now exist)
