Have been a mix between advanced reg monkey and econometrician. So some applied of new estimators in my labor field and some inventing new estimators for certain applications. Have been pretty successful though not top 5 or anything.
But now that I am 'out of the rat race' I want to do real research. You know, ask big important questions because now I am not on clock etc.
But where to start? My research mind has been so narrow focused due to the publication game.
Any wisdom from older bros?
