I can't judge the quality of this causal inference design. The effect sizes claimed are large. Does anyone care to weigh in?
This is so cool.
This atlas has Lexis plots on how various things have changed over time in different age groups – mortality rates, fertility rates, number of parents and siblings. And you can reach out to Jonas to add your own plots too.
I'd like to see Lexis plots for absolutely everything.
We have a new major release!
The Scholarly Migration Database 2.0 is now online!

Looking forward to four days of discussions and learning.

Qualitative-sequential color scheme for distinguishing level from dynamics of age structure on a map, linked to sequence plots. Courageous viz. I love it.
Ok, I'd like to on the record saying: "Everything in mortality is a tempo effect", "Excess deaths are an artifact of displaced deaths". -JS
From the days of typewriter prepared manuscripts to the LLMing of today's vibey journal submissions one constant remained: Double Spacing ! and All Figures Placed at the End ! Some changes are too disruptive to allow.
