It worked! I just got my confirmation email. Thanks again Josh.

I will start with Rob. Thanks Josh! Its a paper linking the PSEO data to business formation data to measure business start-up activity of graduates. I think it is a great paper, and its just about ready for the light of day.

Would I just cold-email Caroline?

What are the odds I can just cold email an extended abstract and still have a shot?

I saw this too late 😭
It wasn't listed on the call for Papers on NBER which is what I check regularly.

I mean, I *think* down is bad, but then again, I went to public school in the US so I could be reading the graph wrong.

The paper opens with an acknowledgement of my former colleague Matt Graham, who is deeply missed and was the chief architect of all things LODES.

If only there wasn't a student unit record ban and all this tabulation could be done centrally with the same methodology.

Probably would have been even faster with SAS.
