Doing a final cleaning of the deck, this is hilarious.
Finally realised that after all the how to cite tutorials, I forgot to say that quotes for ≥ 3 words should be quoted. Massive oversight.
Just donated some money to Wikimedia and Internet Archive. If you earn a wage and find yourself use these services frequently, I suggest you do the same as well.

Podcast on health economics, recommended by my supervisor. Says it is rather popular science esque, but good for getting inspirations.
Reading Currie & MacLeod (2017), which seems to me an immensely important piece of research, but cited by only few. I wonder how many actual doctors or hospitals, if any, have they managed to influence.

Forgone medical care… what a clean word for its essence…
I wonder what proportion of econ professors teach games by their "popular name" to the students. Obviously I got lucky.
Rude awakening: I still do not understand likelihood estimation completely.
