Spent all day cleaning institution names. Got the nonUS done and now am turning to the US institutions. Man, there are a lot of places where people do economic research.
I have not yet found a way to collaborate with the folks here at the ZEW. I want to earn this visiting position by giving as good as I get. At lunch with Marianne, I discovered that many of the folks here are using a survey of firms they conduct here. When I grilled here about the content of this dataset, she said that everyone know a bit or piece but not all. The data sound great, so they are going to try to find a way for me to see what is in it so I might help with research questions and identification strategies.
