Data-driven research, at its best, presents you with results that surprise you. 😲

Our paper on state-building and the French Revolution is forthcoming in the AER! In 1790, a radical administrative reform laid the foundations of the modern French state. We study its consequences for state capacity and economic development in the short and long run.
Forthcoming in the AER: "The Dynamic Consequences of State-Building: Evidence from the French Revolution" by Cédric Chambru, Emeric Henry, and Benjamin Marx. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…

40 years ago I published this paper. Although it is my most cited paper, I think I did better in many of my other papers (some of them hardly cited).
In any case I am proud about the "clarification" which starts the paper (making clear it is not a prediction).

In a recent draft with @phinifa and @ellliottt, we develop a novel method to mine narrative statements from text. To make things easier, we also provide an open-source package for social scientists. Hope this will come in handy for some !

There are many guides to grad school and the job market. But the one I return to, again and again, is Eric Zwick's guide. Just so good.
If you read these and nothing else, and really follow them, you'll be in great shape.
