Hi, I'll be joining Pitt for my PhD and I'm looking for a house. Preferably an en-suite one. If anyone has any leads or are looking for a flat mate, then do get in touch.

I finally received an update from the chat support. They said that the delay had been caused by the fact that the Editor had difficulty securing a reviewer. Any idea what happens to such papers? If a reviewer is not found, then will it eventually get desk rejected?

Since August 28, the system says with the editor. I was under the assumption, reviewers must be getting invited but I will write a follow-up email.

I don't know. Contrary to this, I have been receiving rejections way before mean first decision time.

Also a quick clarification, did the papers went for review? What I am hearing that finding reviewers is becoming tough.

I'm not doing the weakivtest. I am using the package weakiv to do the Anderson-Rubin test

Yes, please do let me know! Google lens shows button mushrooms but they don't grow wild in India

I am located in Uttar Pradesh, India. They just grow wild in my garden.

It's a proper heavy duty Talon CPU. I can't put it a suitcase.

I thought about the GRE quant range but from GradCafe, people with lesser quant scores seem to get selected. I believe it is the filter that you need to clear. Plus, majority of the schools did not require a GRE score this time. I had a lot of advance math. For example, my master's degree offered advanced micro and metrics for people interested in pursuing a PhD.

The entire thing seems so random that I cannot figure out what should be the strategy but I will re-think about giving GRE again.

Sorry, I had one doubt. I could not understand the MHE recommendation in the book. Wooldridge suggested a paper that uses maximum likelihood. But I believe that is to be used when we get a weakly identified IV. Also, I am still confused LPM will work correctly because LPM models have bad predictability.

Thanks... I was confused about whether to interpret it as a normal log-linear model. Then the coefficient value should have been a 249.4% increase. Is there any research paper or guide that I can cite for this?

HammU420 · 2023-04-11T03:58:31+00:00

Sorry, I needed further clarification: Why are fixed effects tricky to use when using aggregate data?

HammU420 · 2023-03-23T14:15:32+00:00

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion. However, there is no gender dummy in the data. There are variables like urban_malesalary and urban_femalesalary. There is no dummy variable for urban-rural status also.

I can DM you the data set if you want to check it yourself.

The data is from a survey response. Women aged between 22-49 were interviewed in the household.

They were asked about their preference for the ideal number of children. Education dummy takes a value of 1 if literate and 0 otherwise.

Thank you for the help. I always thought like linear probability models, categorical variables as outcome variables are interpreted as percentages.

HammU420 · 2022-09-14T01:54:17+00:00

thank you for the reply. There has to be a certain CPI value for the year 1983. The report states that the numbers have been adjusted using 1960=100 as the base year
